Abstract
In every way, New Orleans was different from the other cities which incubated American modernism. Its heritage was cosmopolitan but predominantly French; it was Roman Catholic in religion; it was sexually liberated; it was proud of the arts and cultivated them. Of the arts available, music predominated: Philadelphia could have poetry, Chicago the novel, and Baltimore criticism; in New Orleans, people danced, sang, and played. Drawing inspiration from all over the South and Southwest, from St. Louis and Kansas City as well as the smallest Mississippi hamlets, New Orleans put it all together. The sounds of New Orleans helped liberate Western music from European conventions: as Los Angeles helped liberate the eye, so New Orleans liberated the ear.
