The
Big Easy is a nickname from the dawn of jazz. Jazz musicians
at the turn of the century were fond of nicknames and a
dance hall by that name existed in the early 1900's,
according to jazz historians, but the location is uncertain.
There have been many story variations on the Big Easy it's
just like anything else in New Orleans; it just is. The Big
Easy is New Orleans with our gentle and relaxed pace of life
for which New Orleans is best known.
