This adult unisex shirt features a vintage black-and-white photograph of a legendary jazz figure alongside King Zulu during the 1955 New Orleans Mardi Gras. The candid moment reflects joy, humor, and cultural pageantry, highlighting the deep ties between jazz culture and the Black carnival traditions of New Orleans. Rooted in community celebration and cultural continuity, the image honors a living tradition rather than spectacle.
The original archival photograph has been digitally edited and enhanced to improve clarity and contrast while preserving its historical character. Printed on a 100% cotton shirt, this piece offers breathable comfort for everyday wear.
Designed with a modern retail fit and side seams for added structure and durability, this shirt holds its shape while staying soft against the skin. Available in multiple sizes and several colors. Please check the included measurement chart for your best fit. Customization is available upon request.
