From the Mouthpiece On Back is a feature-length documentary about courage, hope, optimism, love, respect, some wind and water – and kick-ass brassy jazz music alive from New Orleans.

The reviews are in!
Check out the right-hand column under News —->
By overwhelming demand, the dvd of the wildly-popular movie now is available only via this website!
(We may have been able to get a big distributor to put us in theaters, but then we’d likely never get out of debt and couldn’t achieve our goal of donating a portion of profits to New Orleans foundations.)
So . . . we’re selling it ourselves over this website. And helping people.
Join us and become part of the fresh exciting new way to distribute movie dvds over the internet — catch the self-distribution wave!
We know you will love the movie — just like the reviewers over there on the right-hand column.
Portion of any profits goes to construction of a new home in New Orleans (we’re sponsoring the “FTMOB Team Home” at the Make It Right 9 foundation) and New Orleans jazz band foundations — see links below. We hope you’ll buy the dvd and help rebuild the great city of New Orleans.
One goal is to donate $150,000 to Make It Right, which will buy a brand-new home for a displaced family in New Orleans. As of August 2008, we’re $30 toward the goal, with only $149,970 to go!
Feel good.

– Jason Slack, TBC Brass Band
“[TBC’s] music was extremely impressive, enough to get us thinking about doing a Paul Simon-type album that takes The Roots in a whole different musical direction. And their personal stories, with the social issues they brought up, got us to writing the darkest, most downtrodden, in-your-face and political music we’ve ever done.“
– ?uestlove, The Roots
“The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician. Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back yard on a hot night or something said long ago.”
– Louis Armstrong
