We create and perform new music that encourages the musicians to take risks and play with energy, intensity and interaction. The music is honest and fresh with exciting, spontaneous performances.

We are currently performing new material for a new CD. The compositions are partly a reaction to the situation in post-Katrina New Orleans. This remarkable city is a unique community where the musicians are regarded as its backbone and as being essential to its survival.

The Project is named after a front door in New Orleans (see Gallery).
