"New Orleans" - Southern flair between Jazz, Blues & Soul

New Orleans, the colourful illustrated book by Werner Pawlok, captures the vibrant lifestyle of the South in a unique way. Pawlok takes the reader on a journey through the lively streets of Nola, where jazz, blues and soul characterise the cultural heritage. His camera captures the distinctive colonial architecture and offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who make this city so special.

The book shows not only the colourful facets of the city, but also the soul of New Orleans - the bars and pubs of the French Quarter, the birthplace of jazz, the graffiti and the vibrant street life. Pawlok captures the spirit of the Cajuns and Creoles and presents it in an opulent coffee-table book that is both visually and emotionally moving. There is also a specially curated Spotify playlist of the best jazz and blues sounds from New Orleans.
