New orleans

The out-of-print volume 'New Orleans 1960' is about the birthplace of jazz. The photos were taken in 1960 during a trip when he traveled through the United States with musicologist Joachim E. Berendt for 'Jazzlife' to document America's original art form.

'Silver + Chrome' contains earliest works by Mitch EPSTEIN, taken in N.Y., L.A. as well as New Orleans. With the OK of his teacher Garry WINOGRAND he documented from 1973 until 1976 the urban chaos of that complicated time alternately in color and in b/w.

The name of this photo volume by Bruce GILDEN, 'Hey Mister, throw me some beads!', comes from a phrase of the famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans. Between 1974 and 1982, the American photographer documented the spectacle in his typical street photographs.
