This book is a will, the testimony of a bygone age, killed by the hurricane Katrina. .
Hermann is well known as a jazzman photograph. Some of his photo black and white are very famous (Dexter Gordon and the cigarette smoke) and belong to the jazz mythology.
The subtitle of the french edition is strong : in the black New Orléans disappeared.
Nothing escapes Hermann, this city is music, the carnival, the orchestras, the heat, the fatigue, the violence. There is an energy, a hot and sensual pulsation. The centring is perfect , faces magnificent, the beauty is everywhere, the laughter and the music escape from these images. This black and white photos seem colored.
Magnific and nostalgic
