![]() "Sakakeeny’s approach to the tensions between continuity in change in Roll With It: Brass Bands in the Streets of New Orleans, searches past academic theories, tapping many interviews and his own experiences with musicians. It also poses a bigger question: If our city has economically benefitted from selling culture as a post-Katrina resource, are musicians getting what they deserve? Roll With It explores the answer.” - Samuel Nelson, Where Y'at? " Roll With It is informative on many levels, detailing song structures, jazz history, neighborhood developments, and weaving information together through anecdote and research. It’s an engaging look street-level look at the bands that so often are used to represent and symbolize the city.” - Will Coviello, Gambit Sakakeeny observes the way the city celebrates its culture and especially its musicians, but the book also exposes the way many of them survive on the same earnings as low-rung service industry workers. The book offers a full picture of their lives and how the city’s cultural economy works on the factory end. “Sakakeeny offers detailed accounts of parades and the inner workings of the bands. “A notable work in that it’s the first critical project to chronicle New Orleans’ bombastic contemporary brass-band scene, the generation of musicians that grew up with century-old hymns in one ear and hip-hop in the other also, and importantly, it’s a keen, social-justice-minded examination of the turbulent mix of race, economics, culture and tradition in which brass band culture is located.” - Alison Fensterstock, Times-Picayune Beyond its entertainment value, music serves as the ‘site where competing social, political, and economic vectors intersect.’ In many ways, these vectors serve as a microcosm for the problems within the city at large.” “As Sakakeeny makes clear, the story of the city’s brass bands is far more complex than music alone. The musicians' personal stories are interwoven with historical information, academic reflection, and personal experience, combining to form a highly original work that creates a vivid portrait both of this musical format and the noble but beleaguered city of New Orleans.” - Florence Wetzel, All About Jazz “ Roll With It, which includes striking black-and-white illustrations by New Orleans artist Willie Birch, is at once celebratory and saddening: a book of personal stories and a highly researched academic work.” - Geraldine Wyckoff, Offbeat Labor and Working-Class History Association.Association for Middle East Women's Studies.Author Resources from University Presses.Permissions Information for Journal Authors.Journals fulfilled by DUP Journal Services.placed my order at 10.56am I rang 1 hour later at 11.56am to be told my order had left the shop, I then phoned again at 12.18 as my food still hadn't arrived and I expressed my frustration that I had now been waiting 1hour 20mins to be told they weren't doing it on purpose it wasn't their fault and in actual fact the food had not yet left the shop despite being told 20 mins previously it was on its way! 12.45 came around and still no food, phoned again to then be told in a very rude manner that it was my fault the food was taking so long because I should have phoned earlier and did I not realise they were busy! I said no I didn't because noone had informed me on the phone! I proceeded to voice my anger in the hope that someone would do something for the trouble but she said she can't do anything and did I want it or not! The food arrived at 1pm and I had to pay full price- £15. Never experienced anything like it! Not only did 3 breakfasts take over 2 hours to arrive,it was cold and not of great quality but that wasn't the worst bit of the experience! Customer service was absolutely appauling, the staff were rude, unapoligetic and liars!!!
