"PRESERVATION HALL, AT 726 ST. PETER STREET, STARTED IN 1961 AS A PLACE WHERE LONGTIME NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS COULD PLAY THE CITY’S MOST TRADITIONAL JAZZ. IT GATHERED A CORE PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND THAT PERFORMS REGULARLY AT THE HALL ITSELF, WITH PERSONNEL GRADUALLY CHANGING THROUGH THE YEARS." - The New York Times
At the heart of musical evolution, New Orleans stands as a beacon of cultural fusion. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band embodies this spirit, preserving and revitalizing the city's musical legacy for over 60 years. Their latest album, "So It Is," continues this tradition by blending Afro-Cuban rhythms, Afrobeat, and Fire Music, creating a modern sound. Their performances alongside icons like Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, and the Foo Fighters highlight their influence and relevance, bridging the gap between past and present.
