Description:
"Preservation Hall. Now that's where you'll find all of the greats." -Louis Armstrong. What an amazing quote to welcome one of the great music acts to Blacksburg.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The band has traveled worldwide spreading their mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans Jazz. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center, for British Royalty or the King of Thailand, this music embodies a joyful, timeless spirit.

"...proof that the music pioneered in New Orleans a century ago was the clear progenitor of today's jam-band phenomenon." -USA Today. Info. from The Preservation Hall Jazz Band website.
