For 50 years, through good times and lean times, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has kept the flame of New Orleans-based traditional jazz burning brightly. In 2012, the PHJB celebrated its half-century mark at Carnegie Hall, and what a concert it was! A star-studded cast of guest musicians from rock, New Orleans R&B, alternative, rap, gospel, Americana and indie pop worlds show the ever-growing cachet of the band, and the universal respect they have earned. Joining the party are My Morning Jacket, Mos Def, Allen Toussaint, GIVERS, the Del McCoury Band, Steve Earle, Merrill Garbus (tUnE- yArDs), the Blind Boys of Alabama, Trombone Shorty and Tao Seeger, playing songs that find commonality in the breadth of the American musical landscape, from gospel and blues, to old time music and that most original of American art forms-- jazz!
Condition:NEW. Marked upc.
