Both are reflected in the city's vibrant, idiosyncratic music community. In Keith Spera's intimately reported \u003ci\u003eGroove Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e, Aaron Neville returns to New Orleans for the first time after Hurricane Katrina to bury his wife. Fats Domino improbably rambles around Manhattan to promote a post-Katrina tribute CD. Alex Chilton lives anonymously in a battered cottage in the Treme neighborhood. Platinum-selling rapper Mystikal rekindles his career after six years in prison. Jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard struggles to translate Katrina into music. The spotlight also shines on Allen Toussaint, Pete Fountain, Gatemouth Brown, the Rebirth Brass Band, Phil Anselmo, Juvenile, Jeremy Davenport and the 2006 New Orleans Jazz \u0026amp; Heritage Festival. With heartache, hope, humor and resolve, each of these contemporary narratives stands on its own. Together, they convey that the funky, syncopated spirit of New Orleans music is unbreakable, in spite of Katrina's interruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKEITH SPERA writes about music for \u003ci\u003eThe Times-Picayune \u003c\/i\u003ein New Orleans\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eIn 2006, he was a member of the newspaper's Pulitzer Prize-winning Hurricane Katrina coverage team.
