Preserving New Orleans
Bo Dollis
Music. Art. Culture.
Founded in 2014, Gallatin Street Records was conceived as a means of preserving archival recordings from the Jazz Museum’s collections that are in the public domain or that have never been made public before and making them available to a larger audience.
Since then, Gallatin has evolved into a boutique label concentrating on limited run vinyl pressings of performances recorded at the museum.
Gallatin Street Records is housed at the Ruth U. Fertel Jazz Lab, a component of the New Orleans Jazz Museum’s Education Center. This state-of-the-art center provides the almost 200-year-old building with progressive technology. Allen Eskew, architect of the venue, described it as simply “the best of both worlds.”
