| In 1950, Life magazine did a photographic essay entitled, "New Orleans Jazz Scenes." As you can see on this page, some fantastic photos were included. The bad news is that none of the images have captions. I hate to place photos on the site without being able to let you know what they represent, but I fell in love with these pictures! So, I'm hoping that some of you can clear up a few of the mysteries. I doubt that many are still standing. Like so many of the places associated with the early era of jazz, by now, they're probably fading shadows of the past. I have the feeling that there are landmarks among these that deserve to be remembered. I know a few, if you can help with any of the rest, please let me know. Nancy |
