"The Music’s Gonna Get You Through: My documentary crush object of the moment, Gabrielle Mullem’s film is ostensibly about pianist Henry Butler’s summer Creative Music and Jazz Camp and its attendees, but it blossoms into something else entirely when Hurricane Katrina enters the scenario. There is remarkable footage of Butler returning to his levee-failed New Orleans home -- stunningly similar to what HBO’s “Treme” re-created for Albert Lambreaux’s homecoming – and the best-ever rendition of “Proud to Be An American,” but the piece is really about the awesome, timeless gifts a mentor can give." - Dave Walker, The New Orleans Times-Picayune
