It's set in the early-1900s and focuses on the social and cultural struggles that the city went through as its "elite" struggled to get control over the elements of vice. Really interesting, especially the history of jazz portions.

No, but I'll try to find it! I hung out with many of the old jazz players at Preservation Hall, who taught me a lot about music and told me lots of tall tales!
