Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Del McCoury Band
Jim James
It was an incredible night on Thursday, March 17, 2011 at Moody Theater, new home of the Austin City Limits tapings. Leading off was the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, joined by Jim James (My Morning Jacket, Monsters of Folk) and the Del McCoury Band. It was my highlight at SXSW 2011. The Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band were promoting the release of their collaborative American Legacies CD which was released on April 12th. The album offers a dozen songs filled with deep respect and joyful virtuosity. Blending jazz from the streets and music halls and clubs of New Orleans and beyond with bluegrass from rural festivals, school auditoriums and more restrained settings, American Legacies presents two giants of traditional American music—the Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band—in one spirited stream of deliciously inviting, boldly innovative and yet profoundly familiar music.
