Whether working on projects with My Morning Jacket or performing with Trombone Shorty, The Edge or a number of any other musical icons, Preservation Hall has managed to remain current even though they are a band seeped in history.

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. Under the auspices of current director, Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and Sandra, Preservation Hall continues with a deep reverence and consciousness of its greatest attributes in the modern day as a venue, band, and record label. With their new release “That’s It!” this summer PHJB will no doubt continue to build new audiences while retaining those who have been enjoying their sounds for the past 50 years.
