'If the musicians ain't got a chance to live, then what chance has the music got?' Dr John. This is a beautifully crafted, feature documentary, rich with colourful characters, and set in the iconic musical backdrop of New Orleans. In 2005 the music stopped, when one of the most deadly and destructive hurricanes in American history struck. The flood defences failed flooding the Crescent City for weeks. Lives were lost and shattered. Many displaced musicians felt compelled to return to the chaos and bleak confusion to play again. This is the story of some who made it back, told in their own words, with those who fought alongside to resuscitate the music scene; In particular the founders of The New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, a unique medical facility with the motto, 'Keeping the music alive'.

One Note at a Time (2016) Reviews
Beautifully told
This is a beautifully shot and told film which takes a refreshingly different look at the issues surrounding New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina. It explores issues such as healthcare and death in a suprisingly upbeat way. Renee is a great film maker and her award winning film deserves all the praise a thousand times over.
Beautiful film, uncovering the heart and soul of New Orleans
Told with passion about people who have dedicated their lives to music. And the music is all here; lovely!!
A real joy
This is a superb documentary about the music of New Orleans post Katrina. it was a long time in the making and a number of the old musicians interviewed die during the filming but don't let that put you off as it's really uplifting a joy to behold. I watched it on my ipad on a plane whilst flying to New Orleans and it wasn't diminished by the small screen. A real (or should that be reel) labour of love from Renee Edwards. Her love of the city and the New Orleans Music Clinic shines through.
The music is a joy and what a city
An unmanipulative documentary that takes an unusual route into the city of New Orleans post-Katrina, via a clinic for musicians. The music is a joy and the characters extraordinary. What a city.
Must see docu about the heart and soul of New Orleans post Katrina
Funny, sad, educational and inspirational we get to see how New Orleans was really affected by Hurricane Katrina. The priceless contributors and beautiful cinematography bring together a story of struggle, injustice, hope and the selflessness of charity trying to get through the worst of times imaginable. Go see this and download the gorgeous soundtrack. I only hope that the New Orleans Musicians Clinic can keep going somehow.
