“Between the casual athleticism of these musicians –– breezing through intricate music, trading solos throughout the ensemble, tearing through soulful jazz vocals –– they extend a warm invitation of camaraderie to the audience, a shared reverence that connects artisan and fan.”
Celebrate 60 years of New Orleans jazz with the revered Preservation Hall Jazz Band. On their nationwide anniversary tour, the band’s mission remains focused on welcoming audiences into the ineffable, almost religious experience of channeling the artists’ ancestors through the music and culture they’ve inherited from them. The incredible intergenerational ensemble springs from New Orleans’ Preservation Hall, a humble, much-loved room dedicated to keeping the past and future of jazz alive. It’s a well-worn, well-loved space that’s physically small but spiritually huge, where people from around the globe make pilgrimages to experience jazz at its heart.
