A Pin Stripe Brass Band trumpeter plays on King's Day in New Orleans
The streets of New Orleans ring and clang more loudly than usual, with the sounds of brass bands blasting throughout the city to celebrate Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, which is the final day of Carnival. Here in the place where jazz was invented, King’s Day and Mardi Gras bookend the Carnival season. While the official soundtrack for these massive festivals pre-dates jazz, you can hear the roots of the style in the brass bands. This images focuses on a trumpet player in the Pin Stripe Brass Band as the group performed on King’s Day, the first day of Carnival, in 2015.
