Music's greatest legends re-enact the birth of jazz in this song-filled tribute to the town where it all began: New Orleans.
Arturo De Cordova stars as Nick, the proprietor of a Bourbon Street gambling joint, an artistic haven for black musicians who gather to jam from dusk 'til dawn. When he falls in love with an opera-singing socialite (Dorothy Patrick), Nick realizes that only through music will he gain respectability, and launches a campaign to thrust the disreputable music known as jazz onto the highbrow American stage.
A refreshing rediscovery, New Orleans is especially noteworthy for its lack of racial stereotypes, as well as for the high caliber of performances delivered by its stellar cast, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Woody Herman, Kid Ory, Meade Lux Lewis and more.
Perhaps the film's most memorable number is "Farewell to Storyville," a haunting blues melody sung by Billie Holiday as she leads a procession of black musicians exiled from the city -- a sequence that beautifully captures the melancholy and grace of Holiday's inimitable performance style. Other musical highlights include Holiday's rendition of "New Orleans," Armstrong's "Endie" and "Where the Blues Were Born," and their duet "The Blues are Brewin'".
Also included on the DVD edition only are two musical shorts from Paramount Studios (A Rhapsody In Black And Blue featuring Armstrong and Symphony In Black with Holiday and Duke Ellington) as well as an essay on the making of New Orleans, which originated as a project for Orson Welles.

出身上流社会的史密斯小姐回到新奥尔良，夫人准备为女儿办一场音乐会展示女儿的才华，著名音乐指挥家福布先生担任音乐会指挥。爵士音乐当时是不能与高雅的古典音乐相提并论的，它是劳动歌曲，源自非洲黄金海岸，其优美的旋律深深吸引了她，风流潇洒的黑人爵士乐队支助者赌场老板金·尼克先生也让她着迷，史密斯夫人极力反对女儿爱金先生，并想方设法破坏尼克的生意，为了不影响史密斯小姐的事业，尼克去了芝加歌。他的爵士音乐在芝加歌大受欢迎，史密斯小姐的歌唱事业也取得了辉煌的成绩，她终于明白尼克离开新奥尔良是为了成就她的发展，随着爵士音乐在全美的广泛流行，他们将二者结合，高雅与通俗得到完美统一。
