Summary:

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band is known for its signature brand of jazz originating from the Mardi Gras parades, saloons and riverboats of turn-of-the-century New Orleans. In this special show, the band puts a “Big Easy” spin on celebratory songs of the season. And of course, no Preservation Hall show is complete without a Bourbon Street-style parade as the band plays their classic finale, “When the Saints Go Marching In.” A genuinely uplifting experience, this Grammy Award-winning ensemble exemplifies what true New Orleans jazz is all about.
“The best jazz band in the land.”—San Francisco Examiner
