It was a bright and sunny day in New Orleans.
On October 14th, 1998, sixty-three legendary musicians, spanning three generations, gathered in Armstrong Park to capture a “decisive moment in time” in the photograph, A Great Day in New Orleans.
New Orleans’ legend, Dr. John wanted to honor the city’s finest musicians at a “Musical Family Reunion.” At the time, he was working on a documentary film with Louisiana filmmaker, Lawrence Cumbo. He asked Cumbo to create a photograph inspired by Art Kane’s iconic 1958 jazz portrait, later known as A Great Day in Harlem.
