Summary Americans tend to stereotype their cities. Pittsburgh is Steel, Los Angeles Film, Charleston the Noble South, Washington Government. New Orleans is the city of jazz, blues and still today exudes a touch of "Satchmo" Louis Armstrong, the legendary jazz trumpeter. In "The big easy", the city on the Mississippi, music is life. In the oldest quarter of the southern port metropolis, the Vieux Carré in the French part of the city, this passion is concentrated every year in spring: "Mardi Gras" is on the programme, the highlight of the "Carnival in New Orleans". For almost 200 years, this round-the-clock party has been pompous, exuberant, frivolous, and in any case immensely popular. The whole of New Orleans is disguised, jazz, blues and rock bands are playing at every turn. The film offers a look behind the scenes of the craziest carnival in the world.
