Steve Rapport Exhibit Opening with Live Music by the Joshua Starkman Quartet
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 11:00 pm
April 21, 2026
On April 21, 2026, the New Orleans Jazz Museum will open the exhibition, /Less is More: The Photography of Steve Rapport/. In March 2022, Rapport planned a four-day trip to New Orleans from his home in California, where he had spent the last few decades teaching martial arts. Seven weeks later, the short trip became a permanent move after the city inspired Rapport to return to his true calling and pick up the camera again. Rapport cites New Orleans, particularly Preservation Hall, which he refers to as his spiritual home, as a fuel to his work as a documentarian in the birthplace of Black American Music. /Less is More/ embodies Rapport's artistic philosophy of simplicity and minimalism. The exhibition features work from his notable earlier rock 'n' roll career alongside stark, emotional new portraits made since arriving in New Orleans—the first time both bodies of work will be shown together.

*Doors 6pm | Performance 6:30pm* /Booker and Beyond: The Professor Tim Piano Series – Celebrating New Orleans Piano Traditions /was conceptualized and made possible through a generous bequest by Timothy “Professor Tim” Allspach: educator, musician, and lifelong supporter of New Orleans culture. A friend of piano genius James Carroll Booker, Tim was a beloved teacher at Isidore Newman School for over three decades and a fixture at the Maple Leaf Bar, where his love of music and community flourished. He dedicated part of his estate to celebrate and perpetuate the extraordinary piano traditions of New Orleans. Through this series, we honor his vision by showcasing the brilliance of pianists across genres, ensuring that the spirit of Booker and the city’s rich piano legacy continue to inspire generations to come. Join us on the third Tuesday of each month at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music for a phenomenal /Booker and Beyond /show.
