Preservation Hall Hot 4: St. James Infirmary(King Britt Remix)

[anc9666]

This Video was so funny. The details were amazing and right on target with exact details of N.O. The digital technology in this video was great.

[jonnybogue]

Who's playing dat funky banjo? And the rest of the band?

-Kellso

[monklane]

That's great. Thanks.

[LBNANY]

what genre is this?

[fairportfan2]

@LBNANY

Blues.

And nothin' but the blues.

[logipi79]

@fairportfan2 jazz....jazz and blues are related but it's jazz not blues. which is why they are not called the preservation hall "blues" band

[fairportfan2]

@logipi79

*sigh* THIS song is the blues. That's why its full title is "St James Infirmary Blues" or "Gambler's Blues".

The blues and jazz are not just related - they overlap, just as the blues and country music overlap; Hank Williams was as much a blues man as he was what most people would think of as a country singer.

[logipi79]

@fairportfan2 *sigh*..I like how responding is so beneath you that you have to *sigh* to be able to do it and have to write it in so that other people know it. Now following what you wonderfuly stated about blues/jazz being so more than related you invalidate your first statement "And nothin' but the blues" by your own contradiction. Also since they are a jazz band by nomenclature do you not think they impart a fair share of jazz upon the song? perhaps shifting the balance?

[logipi79]

@LBNANY they are called the preservation hall JAZZ band for a reason

[jorlowsk]

This makes me so happy. I can't believe I haven't seen it before now!

saw this at VooDooFest, the crowd went f'ing wild! totally awesome video!

[paranatural]

Too much good stuff. For me, you guys embody New Orleans. Wish more people appreciated you.

[rosengj]

Wow, excellent.

And the local details are great.

I rode The Zephyr at Ponchatrain Beach in the late fifties. Charity Hospital, The French Quarter, Pirate Alley and the Cathedral, all perfect!

[Greenhornet270]

Fantastic...!!!!!

[crescentrose]

WOW!!!! loved the roaches, K&B, McKenzies, and Ponchartrain Beach. creative, professional...cool.

[VercingetorixXIII]

@crescentrose Yeh it is, love the graveyard too...

[Odellhoward69]

[TancoToons]

Since Clint is a part of the Band itself, there are no credits for him and the other members. They are all credited on the liner notes of the DVD release.

[nannajoanna]

Am I missing something? I don't see Clint's name in the credits, but that's gotta be him. Is it cuz he's technically a member of the PHJB so he's already (technically) credited??  I so confused ...

[Alivefornow]

saw them preform this live, absolutely amazing.

[blindnarcissus]

SOoooooooooo GREAT!!

[plutofactory]

sweet ;)

[Christiantodd1]

They showed this at the Prytania before a midnight movie feature, and the crowd went NUTS. It was awesome.

[Robin504able]

Even the Palmetto bugs/cockroaches got in on it... how many of yawl noticed them..??

R504Able

[holidaygarland1]

ck out clint maedgens voice, incredible!!!

[skitrees]

The more I watch this, the more I like it. I'm addicted to it now.

Anyone notice the part at 2:26 where the guy steps on the singing cockroaches? It is hillarious - took me forever to realize what had happened, and then you see him looking at the squished cockroaches on his shoe - WONDERFUL detail!

[Robin504able]

TOTALLY saw it...! 2nd time around!

Fabulous!

R504Able

[domitype]

Excellent!

This style of arrangement, especially the banjo and percussion reminds me of The Hoodangers from Australia - search that name for their website. They do a similar song called "St. Vincent"

[CharlesBlackmon]

Is Tuba Fats one of the musician ghosts?

[CartoonCookie93]

You're missing the Paramount mountain!

[bluedaizy41]

more more more!!! most excellent!

[MrLowestring]

Heck yeah!!!!! Way to go guys. Makes me miss sweet home NOLA. Right up there with Verti Marte at 4AM and "Down By Law". Keep it up.

[neworleansbingoshow]

Tancotoons is the name of Director James Tancill's company. There's some info on him if you click more info next to the video.

[claudiakent]

Also great to see John Brunious featured as well, rest his soul.

[claudiakent]

I can't stop watching this lovely video. It makes me love New Orleans even more, which I thought would be impossible! Clint Maedgen is an incredible talent, in so many ways. He embodies the soul of NO.

[Robin504able]

OMG!! Myself as well.. watched it 5 times..back-to-back. All name brands were authentic.. down to the Jax beer on tap!

I was makin' sure and checkin'... ;-) Catchy toon.. it's gonna be in my head all day now!!

[preservationhall]

Agreed DoctorPinkerton! Cheers to James Tancill and his team!

[DoctorPinkerton]

BIG applause to the immensely talented artists whose vision this represents - Jimmy Tancill and Egypt Urnash, as well as the Lafayette University students who did all the labor! Nice soundtrack to by Preservation Hall Jazz band... insanely catchy music!

[waitingclumsily]

Absolutely amazing.

[adgart]

Absolutely brilliant and I hope only one of many MANY more! A great snippet of so much that is great in that town, and truly captures the essence of Preservation Hall and the music that still lives on there. If you've never been, please make your way there and see it in person!

[schleusenmeister]

This is terrific. So many little surprises for people who love New Orleans.

[skitrees]

What a great job! Love it! Catches so many of the NO experiences/personalities. I would love to see more of these!

[CaptJohnSwallow]

The spirit of Preservation Hall lives on!

Great job, mates!

[rchamp]

Awesome! Fantastic job!

[techcapsule]
