, cradle of jazz 
Everyone's career is not the one who came to personify the Jazz. Louis Armstrong is the child of the Big Easy , born at the turn of 20 th century in a neighborhood so inviting it was dubbed The Battlefield, the field of battle. You do not see hardly any trace today. At the corner of Loyola and Perdido, the skyscrapers and the Holiday Inn have taken the place of shacks in which the small Louis delivered the coal to prostitutes on behalf of a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia. Louis has learned to use the trumpet. It is less known, but it was also the star of David, in honor of this family who fed and cared for him.
The battlefield is now the business district.
