A recent Facebook post regarding one's affinity to Dixieland Jazz motivated me to post this one. Preservation Hall was on my bucket list, and I finally had the opportunity to visit when work sent me to the area several years ago. I was surprised by the size of the hall, but the place just oozed music history. Scores of greats have played there since it opened in 1961. This nite, the Preservation Hall-Stars were on tap. It seems the Hall-Stars line up of high-quality jazz musicians frequently changes, but on this beautiful nite just off Bourbon Street they were:Leon Brown - vocals and trumpet
Freddy Lonzo - Trombone
Carrie Brown - Drums
Gerald Adams - Bass
Lars Edegran - Piano
They played three loose sets each steeped in New Orleans tradition to the roughly forty folks that filled up the tiny hall. There were no amplifiers or microphones used, so the vocals are a bit weak, but there are not a lot of vocal parts to begin with.1. Royal Garden Blues
2. How Come You Do Me Like You Do
3. Baby Won't You Please Come Home
4. Ain't She Sweet
5. Tiger Rag
6. South Rampart Street Parade
7. Petite Fleur
8. Millinburg Joys
9. Slide Frog Slide
10. Just A Closer Walk With Thee
11. When The Saits Go Marching In
12. Bogalusa Strut13. Someday You'll Be Sorry
14. That's A Plenty
15. When My Dream Boat Comes Home
