Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - The Epicenter of Jazz Preservation Hall is the epicenter of Jazz on this planet and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band represents in fine fashion. Having each band member featured on a particular song adds to the uniqueness of this CD and is a great asset, not something that "almost eliminates" the excellence of the compositions. I'm a native New Orleanian who's been to Preservation Hall many times and I own this CD. The shallow review of one reviewer should in no way dissuade you from buying this CD as a central part of any Jazz collection. This tracks chosen for this recording are a fantastic cross-section of Jazz and of the band itself and is well worth the investment. Rating: - A Great Souvenir Let's face it - even if you're going to New Orleans to party at Mardi Gras or because you're an Anne Rice fan, Jazz is part of the reason you're vacationing at the Big Easy. This gem includes much of the music you'll hear either attending Preservation Hall one evening or walking the streets anytime from noon till a few hours before dawn - with "Just a Closer Walk with Thee" being a possible exception unless you're in town during a funeral procession. Then again "When the Saints go Marchin' In" quickly reminds you that mourners can be comforted that it's them going through the difficult time, while their loved one has joined the big, neverending party Up There - an essential part of New Orleans philosophy. So open up the pralines you also brought back, and munch on them while you show everyone your vacation pictures and listen to this more durable souvenir! Rating: - INSTRUMENTAL PLAYING MARRED BY POOR SINGING The enjoyment of instrumental sounds is almost eliminted because each number "features" a band member singing to the music, and rather poorly at that.
