The New Orleans apartment of bassist Michael Harris was destroyed two years ago in the floods following Hurricane Katrina. He was out of town when it happened, and he's basically been living out of a suitcase ever since. That is, up until last week, when he moved into the Musicians' Village. Harry Connick, Jr., Branford Marsalis, and Habitat for Humanity conceived of the Upper Ninth Ward housing complex as a way to keep New Orleans' rich musical tradition alive. We talk with Harris about how life in the village is shaping up.
