Ernie K-Doe was only twenty-five years old, and his reign was just beginning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBorn in New Orleans’s Charity Hospital, K-Doe came of age in a still-segregated South. He built his musical chops singing gospel in church, graduating to late-night gigs in clubs on the city’s backstreets. He practiced self-projection, reinvention, shedding his surname, Kador, for the radio-friendly tag K-Doe. He coined his own dialect, heavy on hyperbole, and created his own pantheon, placing himself front and center: “There have only been five great singers of rhythm \u0026amp; blues—Ernie K-Doe, James Brown, and Ernie K-Doe!” Decades after releasing his one-and-only chart-topper, he crowned himself Emperor of the Universe.

In the end, he literally rose from the dead: an eerily lifelike statue of K-Doe held court at his castle, the Mother-in-Law Lounge, for years after his 2001 passing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVolume two in the Louisiana Musicians Biography Series, Ernie K-Doe: R\u0026amp;B Emperor of New Orleans features exclusive interviews with Ernie, Antoinette, and more than a hundred musicians, friends, and family members.

Within two years he followed his brother south to New Orleans, the nation’s third-largest city and the center of a flourishing plantation economy. Through the following decades, Howard and the city would thrive together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking twenty-hour days juggling private, ecclesiastical, and civic commissions, Howard gave Louisiana some of its most iconic structures: the Pontalba buildings on New Orleans’s Jackson Square, the Robert Short house in the Garden District, and a string of legendary plantation houses along the Mississippi River. At a time when most architects also acted as builders, Howard worked almost exclusively as a designer, a practice that helps explain the staggering variety and volume of his known works. And yet his name seldom appears in the same breath as those of his more famous contemporaries, architects James Gallier and James Dakin. Indeed, some of his greatest designs, most notably Belle Grove Plantation, were for decades attributed to others. The photographer and architectural historian Robert S. Brantley provides a comprehensive survey of Howard’s career in this meticulously researched collection. Lavishly illustrated with photographs both new and historical, and interspersed with archival drawings and plans, Henry Howard: Louisiana’s Architect restores its subject to his rightful place in the pantheon of southern architects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert S.

Storyteller, researcher, songwriter, performer, and mentor, Barker was a true griot-an elder statesman of jazz and an international representative of New Orleans and African American culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn more than 60 years as a working musician, he followed the evolution of jazz from its New Orleans roots to mainstream success during the swing era to canonization as America’s first wholly original art form. In his career as a songwriter, which yielded the hit “Don’t You Feel My Leg,” Barker combined traditional song forms with sly humor about sex and human nature. More than any other jazz artist, he worked to document the music’s history and to tell the stories of its people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Life in Jazz, first published in 1986 and edited by British jazz scholar Alyn Shipton, captures the breadth of Barker’s knowledge and the scope of his vision as a storyteller. His carefully crafted set pieces range from hilarious to harrowing, and he shares memories of jazz greats such as Jelly Roll Morton, Cab Calloway, and Dizzy Gillespie. Barker’s prose reflects the freedom and creativity of jazz while capturing the many injustices, both casual and grand, of life as a black man in midcentury America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis illustrated edition of A Life in Jazz brings Barker’s autobiography back into print, accompanied by more than 100 images that bring his story to life. Journalist Gwen Thompkins, host of public radio’s Music Inside Out, reflects on Barker’s legacy in her introduction, and the complete discography and song catalog showcase the breadth of Barker’s work. Through his struggles, triumphs, escapades, and musings, A Life in Jazz reflects the freedom, complexity, and beauty of this thoroughly American, black music tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"THNOC PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36582366806168,"sku":"9089","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/5528\/4888\/products\/danny.jpg?v=1602795900"},{"product_id":"guidebooks-thnoc-book","title":"GUIDEBOOKS TO SIN: THE BLUE BOOKS OF STORYVILLE, NEW ORLEANS","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row mb-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SelectSKUDesc font-weight-bold h3\" id=\"ctl00_eTAMContent_lblDescription\"\u003eGUIDEBOOKS TO SIN: THE BLUE BOOKS OF STORYVILLE, NEW ORLEANS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"listPrice\" class=\"row mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ourPrice\" class=\"row mb-2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SelectSKUSellingPrice\"\u003e$50.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" id=\"ctl00_eTAMContent_divCommentary\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-weight-normal\" id=\"ctl00_eTAMContent_lblComentary\"\u003eGuidebooks to Sin: The Blue Books of Storyville, New Orleans\u003cbr\u003eby Pamela D.

They were directories of prostitutes and houses of prostitution, and they provide a rare window onto this infamous demimonde. They also help us situate Storyville within larger cultural contexts, such as the development of big business and advertising as part of America’s transition into a consumer society during the same time period.

Six essays lead the reader across the historical panorama of Louisiana as found in its cartography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, 384 pages, 14.25\" x 12\" x 1.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"THNOC PUBLICATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36582390136984,"sku":"11053","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/5528\/4888\/products\/charting.jpg?v=1602795364"},{"product_id":"founding-thnoc-book","title":"New Orleans, the Founding Era","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row mb-2\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row mb-0\" id=\"listPrice\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row mb-2\" id=\"ourPrice\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"ctl00_eTAMContent_divCommentary\" class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_eTAMContent_lblComentary\" class=\"font-weight-normal\"\u003eNew Orleans, the Founding Era\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Historic New Orleans Collection 2018\u003cbr\u003ehardcover • 8.25\" x 10.25\" • 176 pp.\u003cbr\u003e70 color images\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-0-917860-74-4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the occasion of the tricentennial of the founding of New Orleans, this groundbreaking exhibition catalog celebrates the diversity of the city’s earliest populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew Orleans, the Founding Era gathers contributions from eight leading scholars of the French Atlantic World and features an illustrated checklist of artifacts from public and private collections across France, Spain, Canada, and the United States.

Those who survived first the crossing, and then exposure to New World diseases, established the roots of a blended, Creole culture that persists to this day. The newcomers mingled with, learned from, and clashed with the native people who had long occupied the riverfront site chosen for New Orleans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a cultural, economic, and diplomatic crossroads both of the lower Mississippi valley and of the broader Atlantic World, New Orleans was shaped by influences that stretched south from Nouvelle France and the Illinois Country, north from the Caribbean, and west from the Bight of Benin and the Breton coast. This landmark publication, edited by Erin M. Greenwald and translated by Henry Colomer, reflects the kaleidoscopic array of cultures that gave rise to this most cosmopolitan of North American cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErin M.

The section of the river from Baton Rouge to New Orleans doubles as one of the most potent economic corridors in the country. For two decades, photographer Richard Sexton has explored this complicated region. Intrigued by juxtapositions between innovation and decay, the commercial and the residential, the manmade and the natural, he has documented a quintessential American conundrum: our insatiable desire to exploit the lower Mississippi River's potential while still leaving room for life along its banks. The photography in this book eloquently captures the contrasting qualities of these landscapes. Essays from Paul Schneider, author of numerous natural history books, and photographic historian John H.

During this epoch hundreds of thousands lost their lives in the struggles to redraw the boundaries of the world map. Most left no personal imprint on history. Robert Aitchison, a young Scottish naval officer who dodged alligators, shipwreck, and musket shot, all before his twentieth birthday, could well have become another nameless casualty of war.

Immediately, art columnists took notice, marveling at the discovery of a previously unknown talent in their midst. One New Orleans critic commented in 1927, “The paintings of Miss Josephine Crawford aroused a great deal of interest not only for their exceptional merit and individuality but also for the fact that this is the first year that Miss Crawford has done any sort of painting.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the winter of 1927-28 Crawford studied in Paris with André Lhote at his academy in Montparnasse, a pivotal time in her development as an artist.

The son of Desirée Marcos, a property-owning free woman of color, and John Thomas Hudson, an English merchant, ironmonger, and ship chandler, Hudson took up his career in painting after a brief stint as a tailor's apprentice in the mid-1820s. He trained first in New Orleans with itinerant miniaturist Antonio Meucci and later in Paris with well-known artist Alexandre Abel de Pujol.

His artistic reputation rests upon a handful of secure paintings and a group of attributed works. Only one work can be more or less traced from the easel to its current location.

Todd Tennessee Williams Collection-featured on the cover of this year’s journal-captures Elizabeth Taylor in the 1959 hit Suddenly, Last Summer. The image complements an essay by Irene Morra (Cardiff University, Wales) on the 1958 play that inspired the movie. Cinematic adaptations are the subject of another essay in the journal, by R. Barton Palmer (Clemson University), coauthor with Bray of Hollywood’s Tennessee: The Williams Films and Postwar America. Best known as a dramatist, Williams was also a prolific author of short fiction, as analyzed in Review pieces by Laura Torres Zúñiga (University of Granada, Spain) and Jacqueline O’Connor (Boise State University). Two other essays take a closer look at the method behind Williams’s masterworks: Sophie Maruéjoules-Koch (University of Lorraine, France) compares his plays to Jackson Pollock’s canvases, while Alexander Pettit (University of North Texas) traces the multistage evolution of the darkly comic Kingdom of Earth.
