Preservation Hall Jazz Band When The Saints 1

They played at my high school in New Orleans in 1972. I remember the talk then was jazz was in danger of dying in the city. Thankfully it did not due to people that love it and its artists. The same thing happened in 2005 when Katrina tried to kill the city itself. The human spirit is an amazing thing. Cherish what you love. It is dear.

I want to thank an old boss of mine, the late Dick Preston, for turning me on to The Preservation Hall Jazz Band back in '75. Fantastic music, thanks Dick, I know you're still listening from up there.

We were raised on this in my childhood home. Every Sunday morning, the house would be filled with Preservation Hall geniuses. We learned what to respect.

My first visit to the Hall, they helped this old lady, Sweet Emma, to the piano, and I said what is this? That gal banged the box and I fell in love with the Jazz band. I have been looking for them and I found GOLD on "You Tube". Keep it going!

absolutely the best !!

[lesliekorshak]

Nothing gets better then this!

[95path]

Man there is nothing and no one who can play like these guys. no school like the old school. I saw them live at Wolf Trap outside DC. Everyone just started dancing in the aisle, they came off the stage and led the way. I'll never see a better show!

[spiralmetal]

You're so lucky. I would have loved to have seen them. I grew up in the 1980s listening to pop and rock from that decade. Didn't stumble upon these guys until much later in my life when I started to have a greater appreciation for my country's cultural roots and music like this started to really click.

Man, I love America. I really do.

Saw these guys at Austin City Limits '09. Did the same thing, even after 25 years. Everyone got up on stage, and I won't forget the ice cream =)

[yurgasturgusdad]

wow... they look exactly how i pictured them haha... i love how they all have solos... they're all just amazing musicians

[TaftyJazz]

I wish stuff like this would still happen it would make people a lot happier

[McVouty]

@TaftyJazz It still does. Those of us who were influenced by these gentlemen in the 60's & 70's are still playing this style. Just very hard to find because there are probably less than 100 of us doing it well and with the same spirit.

[lennycohenfan]

Amen. To the memory of great artists.

[michaelsclarinet]

Percy was better than Louis. Willie was simply the greatest.
