The Jazz People of New Orleans (1992)

The Jazz People of New Orleans is a testament not only to America’s most original artistic genre and its musicians, but also to Friedlander’s great love of jazz and its native city, New Orleans, where he has spent considerable time throughout his life. A natural extension to his work photographing jazz musicians for Atlantic Records album covers in his early years, the book explores the entire breadth of the New Orleans jazz scene, from portraits of greats like Sweet Emma Barrett and Robert Pete Williams and marching bands like Young Tuxedo and Eureka, to the jubilant funeral processions in the city’s streets.
