1972 Press Photo Chris Moe, staff of the New Orleans Jazz Museum - noc26664

Chris Moe - How do you play a bazooka? Where can you get a copy of the Storyville Blue Book? What is the difference between a rag and a stomp? Who was Bix Beiderbecke? Where can you buy a recording of "Moans and Blues" by Lizzie Miles or "Yes, Virginia, There Was a Third Manassas"? If you don't know the answers to any or all of the above questions, then you ought to make a trek to the New Orleans history told by way of fascinating displays on the development of jazz; good listening via a vast library of tapes; and further information if you ask it, given by a friendly and well-informed staff. "Jazz (and indeed the Jazz Museum) is one of New Orleans' greatest assets, yet few Orleanians seem to realize it," laments Chris Moe, of the museum staff.
