Think New Orleans music begins with Jelly Roll Morton or Louis Armstrong?
Long before recording technology, composers across the city were already experimenting with rhythm, improvisation, and global influences. Their work survived only in print.
Now, for the first time in over a century, that music can be heard again.
Opening April 16 at the New Orleans Jazz Museum:
The First Piano Professors and the Lost Music of Early New Orleans
Featuring a live performance by Victor Campbell
Special thanks to Bywater Hotel and exhibition sponsor Ann Atkinson.
