Who would have thought that a banjo, saxophone, and bass would make this kind of music. Beautiful!
beautiful work! I have been in French Quarter twice over NYE in 2000 and 2001. What a wonderful place! I knew a musician Jamil Sharif, who was a terrific trumpet player! I WANT to go back!
Cool video makes the idea of visiting New Orleans very attractive. Sipping coffee and listening to live street Jazz would be bliss.
God this video bring tears to my eyes,i lived there for about a year, and i used visit there*Cry cry* i really miss New Orleans
Truth be told, you haven't partied until you've partied in New Orleans. The food is great and so is the music. I can't wait to go back and stimulate their economy. Great vid.
Oh my GOD, lol!! That guy in the opening. Isee him EVERY TIME I go there, and he always chases me down to sing terribly and ask for cash. Glad to know I'm not the only one! ;D
Some very good work right there, it was a great way to show what it's like.
Beautiful jazz
New Orleans is a place I've never been and would love to go.With the hurricane I was worried that there would be nothing left.I like so many others donated in hopes that they would rebuild and reclaim the wonderful heritage I've heard so much about,for afterall it is that reason I want to go.I have french lineage and I think it's a wonderful place and this video as short as it was gave me peace of mind and hope that someday I might get to go there.Thanks so very much.
home sweet home....I'm a 14 year-old-girl from New Orleans and I do not appreciate all the rude comments about our city. We have been through alot and I would appriciate it if you do not have anything nice to say, that you do not say it at all. It's called manners. They raise us up to be well mannered respectful American citizens down here. On the other hand, thank you so much for all your love and support for those out there who left uplifting comments. It really means alot.
I'm from Kenner, Louisiana and that's like 30 minutes from downtown New Orleans. It's so great in person. So much history in the buildings. Just really pretty :)
beautiful culture, and the music is good too. i always wanted to go to new orleans, and this video may have convinced me to one day take a trip!
I spent New Years Eve there on 2009-10. Never seen anything like it before. It was crazy! It's no wonder this place was spared from the hurricane. These people know how to party.
It is not gone. It is still here. It is getting better everyday. Neighborhoods are coming back. I see it everyday. I have been back since last October and I ain't leaving. Ever.
Wow... the city looks great... I was there before Katrina in 2002, and I'm glad to see it looks almost the same
There's no other city like it in this country. After soaking up the atmosphere in the French Quarter I love riding the streetcar into the Garden District.
Wow. I visited New Orleans this past summer and I remember walking through those areas you filmed. I believe those same people were playing music, too. The French Quarter is still a great place to sit back and relax. =)
Glad the place is dong well...after Katrina...it's good to see so many happy people around again.
"I had a dream about New Orleans
At Jackson Square I heard their prayer
Down in New Orleans"
Lovely place - I want to go back.
I'm SO glad you videotaped this because ever since Hurricane Katrina and Anne Rice, I've wanted to know what it actually looks like there.
I love these guys. Such talent!
Great to see New Orleans back to life!!
I like this - this was a nice slice of life type of thing. Thank you for posting.
Indeed it was...and we thank him for it! We in Louisiana are very proud of our French heritage! Vive la France et vive la Louisiane! Vous doyez nous visiter cher!
Aw man! It makes me miss the French Quarter even more.
Me too, I moved away when I was six.
I remember it so well.
I lived in the Quarter 1999-2004, very nice video. Captures the place well.
I am a New Orleanian and I LOVE my city! No place like it! I am so tierd of the haters... If you hate us then look the other way and leave us alone, weve been through enough already without all your misinformed hate comments.Instead of focusing on how much you hate us, look into your own city's emergency plan (or lack of one) then be grateful we showed all cities they need to take another look, not that it will help much without federal help when its supposed to come.
I've always wanted to live around the French Quarter of New Orleans. Nice video.
thanks.. i have been away from new orleans for cple of months now.. miss it !
Nice to see some of the old New Orleans spirit back... :)
I do not appreciate that comment.I had great respect for a man who lived in the ninth ward.He died of a heart attack when he stepped on his front porch and saw the water rushing towards his house.His 76 year old wife held his dead body for three days while she stood on a matress with just her head above water.That man worked his whole life to provide for his family and he was a wonderful man for it.Although he could not afford the best, he had a good heart and did the best he could.They do care.
Home sweet home. Love the video.
Great video. This really shows me how much the city is hurting. Pimpmyteen is right, that area was filled with music, painters, and palm readers.
thank your for posting this. i'm going there this summer and it's nice to see what it's going to be like (the french quarter, at least.)
Thanks for the post it gives us some perspective on how things are going there thanks again very thoughtful.
nice, I was in the exact same place in june myself...great jazz!
Oh how I miss that town.
I called it home for a long time.
That was nice...thanks for posting. I like the music.
Very nice.
I visited New Orleans in 1996 and a lot of the sites were familiar. There were a lot more people there then, of course.
It's been a long time since i've visited New Orleans.Man, i would love to be there.I really could go for some Beignets.
Its loveley to see that its picking itself back up.
cool, I want to go there! I will as soon as I can cause it sounds amazing! New Orleans was always on my list of places to go...Can't wait! Cool vid! :)
wow nice playin.. very chillin
good editing, nice jazzy back drop. great video.
The French Quarter is the best place to have a date in the city imo...there are so many different places to go, and all on foot.
Lets go Saints!
Thanks for posting this. Its probably the closest I'll ever get to actually being in New Orleans.
Wow,you were there working on the Relief effort? That must've been quite an experience! Good for you, doing your bit to help out at such a dismal time. I hope the people of New Orleans appreciate your efforts.
Some of the best of what america hasto offer, what a great culture.
Being from an area that shares its ancestors with these people in New O, i see soo many little things i recognise.
Reminds me of one of those reading rainbow things when they talk about cities. Nice work. =)
had not been to new orleans since 2002, I wish I had taken some pictures during the day. I heard the french quarter was not hit as bad as the rest of town. Fun beautiful place.
Good video. It's nice to see something positive about the French Quarter for a change.
I hope your realatives made out okay with the hurricanes.
I used to live on the north shore of Ponchetrain until a few years ago, before Katrina. I miss it, almost all my family is down there, in Florida or Delaware. Where I am now, I have no relations, and all my family is far far away. It sucks
Man, this video makes me miss home...
i used to live there. it's like based on this french thing long ago. i love the old houses that are there they are so elegant, and you feel like you're in the past. i don't like going to french quarter because i'm afraid that a big party like mardi gras will be going on and someone shoots in the crowd.
Hey, great video... I dont know what happened with all these previous comments, but I love that place!
Thank you! I can not stand when people make comments like that..
I have heard that the city of New Orleans is working with Dutch authorities/specialists about dam construction, since they also live beneath the water level (though no hurricanes) and hopefully they will incorporate some of the tips they get from a country (or city, Amsterdam) that has a great need for well-made dams that last a long time.
I spent a week here on vacation, 'bout half a year before Katrina. This place is great, except for the humidity, I'd probably die from the heat. I love the cold. :P
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing! Can't see any signs of the hurricane watching this video. No water lines!
Cool vid...I went to the Mardi Gras once when I was 18. Now dat's a party. :)
Excellent video! I can see why it was featured!
good to see people ignoring the racist comments made the disgusting wastes and great to see such beuty and culture in new orleans. You guys in New Orleans show such spirit and life much respect to you.
I really like it!
nice one. smoothy.
Yes, it's a lovely place to live, too.
The worse loss of life was the hurricane of 1928 that struck Lake Okeechobee,FL. The loss of life was closer to 3,000 as well as the tremendous damage done by flooding. Texas also has a place in history as being hardest hit in Galvaston literally wiping it almost off the map.
Amazingly resilient people, God bless em.
Thank you for allowing people to see the real New Orleans. Since Katrina, people have only thought of New Orleans as a crime infested hell hole. Thanks for showing them that the city is actually quite beautiful
I miss living there but yet I am happy I moved 3 years before Katrina happened.
I live just a few minutes away and almost never go to the French Quarter. I only wander over there sometimes when I miss that whole "mustard and vomit" smell.
The nay-sayers are missing the value of this short film, I think. I've never been exposed to the French Quarter, and I appreciate the fact that someone has taken the time to show more of N'awlins than the usual drunken insanity that is Bourbon Street during Mardis Gras.
Anyway, I liked how you used the music from the street performers all throughout the clip; it really tied it all together. It was a very professional move, and I think is something I'll employ in future projects of my own.
Pretty cool... nice one.
merveilleux... j'y suis allé, c'était merveileux!
I was born and raised in Louisiana went there like every weekend.
this is a true N O masterpiece.
im from new orleans i miss it there so much its so pretty GO SAINTS!!!!
yea New Orleans,10-15 years ago new orleans-especially f-quarter was amazing,i was feeling like im in Marseille,atmosphere was "mediterranean",but now i dont wanna visit N.Orleans anymore,i heard its ghastly and sad...good old orleans
We in New Orleans were aware that our city was shaped like a bowl, and that it was continually sinking. Yet we stayed, because it just wouldn't feel right to relocate to...New New Orleans, Texas....or something to that effect. And when all of the city is underwater, There will be no relocation. There may be a reconstruction around that area. That's why we bother with it. It may be far from perfect down there, but it's home. And we cherish it.
LOVE N.O. and the French Quarter!!
SO my kinda place..for some reason I feel connected even though I have no relatives that I know ever lived there. I feel drawn to New Orleans, love the way ppl there talk, cajun music, cajun food, the French Quarter. Love the movie The Big Easy and the tv show. Want to go there someone sponser me. help me to go..
This is a fairly nice video, though I think there was a bit of an obsession with the saxophonist and the birds. I've spent many, many days in NO (my hometown is Baton Rouge). It's a wonderfully unique city!
Canal street used to divide the Creoles (mainly French, Spanish)from the then newly arrived Americans. The Americans developed and controlled (even had their own city government) the Uptown section of New Orleans and the Creoles controlled Downtown (The French Quarter).
The architecture of the French Quarter is actually Spanish architecture. The original 'French' Quarter had burned down right at the time the Spanish took over New Orleans.
This place looks awesome :) like from a movie
the street where the band is performing used to be a busy tourist area with crowds of people hanging around and just chilling, and it is not anymore as I can see in this video. That is really really bad.
God, same here. It says "Loading..." for the longest time.
awesome - thanks . . . I enjoyed that
so glad i grew up in new orleans.. miss that city i go all the time... damn katrina. mardi gras here i comeee
laissez les bons temp roulers!! wot wot
i live in new orleans, and this is nothing but a few positives that he is showing in the video
the french quarter is probably honestly one of the most dangerous places to be in all of the united states. its so horribly congested with crime, its pretty much insane to go out by after 7:00 at night
i still love this placec, though
I'd agree. Louisiana is a beautiful State. NIce friendly people with pride in their homes. They neighborhoods are usually very clean. NO on the other hand has always been a cesspool. I visited my first time in 1981. Even the water pressure of Katrina wasn't enough to douche that town.
I loved the music, entertainment and the food in New Orleans (except for the crawdads or crawfish or whatever you call them) and taking a ride on one of those party paddle boats going down the river was the highlight of the trip. I just had a nightmare of a time with all of the drunks that crowded the streets and acted like animals, pissing and puking right in the middle of the street while people were walking down the street right next to them in shoulder to shoulder crowds.
thank you!!
I thought it was just me too. Although i was in the middle of an anime when this thing made it so i couldn't get to the next part.
As a New Orleansresident, born and raised, I was educated in the history of Louisiana culture and heritage. I'm not out to start any arguments, as I knw several N.O. residents did consider the same thoughts, why are we still here, why cant we rebuild somewhere else, etc etc. But on the other side of that coin, The vast majority of Louisiana would consider New Orleans to be their real capitol, not Baton Rouge.
I have relatives there and used to live there as well. Man, do I miss it. But at least the French Quarter hasn't changed much. Relatives told me the waves of crime have moved to surrounding cities - not to say there were _never_ any crimes in the surrounding cities but...just saying with my long-winded self that at least one part of my beloved city hasn't changed
Can't we all just get along? New Orleans has been through enough.
well thanks for the donation and support, i dont mean to go off on a rampage its just things have been so stressful and chaotic lately...i mean its just i can not take all the comments anymore about how we should not be rebuilt i just dont understand how people can say that about our homes, lives, and families. It just makes me upset, because yeah we may have some faults but we are also an important part of the economy with our oil revenues and American culture.(part 1)
I went to New Orleans on a mission trip for our Church (in Wisconsin) to help them clean up a church... episcopal i think. I love being able to see a video and say... "hey i was there".
none of you care, but i dont care that u dont care.
Yup! we have that too if your interested!
Thanks !
Nothing beats Jackson Square with a beverage on a hot sunny day
