The big easy's emissaries; With thousands of musicians displaced, the Soul Rebels do their part to rebuild in the post-Katrina era.(PROFILE)
IN THE DAYS AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA, the band members from the Soul Rebels Brass Band--dispersed from Texas to South Carolina and beyond--made a pledge over their cell phones. They would go home again and blast funk-infused horns at club Le Bon Temps Roule. They would do this even though everyone's primary instrument was ruined, drowned in the flood, except the precious saxophone Erion Williams had on his hip when fleeing north up Interstate 10.

"Those sax players feel that horn is so delicate, cats have to keep it on them all the time," explained band leader and snare drummer Lumar Leblanc.
