Description:

Recorded at Preservation Hall, New Orleans, LA. on January 20-22, 2009.
Superbly recorded at New Orleans` storied Preservation Hall in early 2009, NEW ORLEANS PRESERVATION VOL. 1 triumphantly demonstrates that the similarly celebrated (and named) Preservation Hall Jazz Band is no mere Dixieland "trad" outfit. Traditional they are, of course, but the lineage they trace on this album is the whole panorama of classic jazz with a little country, blues, and even Latin flavoring thrown in. Besides the expert playing, what lifts this project above the ordinary are the spirited vocals by key members Mark Braud (trumpet), Charlie Gabriel (clarinet), and Clint Maedgen (tenor saxophone). Surprising treats include "My Sweet Substitute," "El Manicero (The Peanut Vendor),"
"Choko Mo Feel No Hey" (which those other Orleans mainstays, the Wild Tchoupitoulas, did on their classic LP back in the `70s), and Jimmie Rodgers`s great "Blue Yodel #9."
