New Orleans. The big easy... is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The music of New Orleans is especially known for its strong association with Jazz Music, as it is universally considered the birthplace of the genre. And the tradition of Jazz has taken on many various forms.. that have either branched out from its original form.. Dixieland or taken entirely different paths altogether. but it would just so happen, that the beloved music of Jazz, would also become an unusual motive for one mysterious serial killer, serving up his abnormal gratification for murder & Jazz music. From May 1918 to October 1919, the city of New Orleans was in a frenzied panic over a roaming serial killer dubbed by the press as "The Axeman", for his brutal killing methods with his particular weapon of choice...an axe., and to make matters worse.. the axes he used to bludgeon his victims, often belonged to the victims themselves.
