I immigrated from Germany in 1953. I have heard the Preservation Hall Jazz Band before, the last time at Disney Hall. Every time I strongly felt that being in the presence of this lovely band was worth coming to America.
A great evening! The combination of both groups was perfect.
You can't be around Dixieland music and not have a happy face. I had a smile on my face all night long.
The performance wasn't as "Creole" or as "Christmas" as I expected, but I had a great time anyway.
At first we were disappointed when we realized that they would not be playing a Christmas concert (the title was Creole Christmas), but their performance won us over. We especially enjoyed the end of the concert, where they got the audience to directly participate.
What an awesome concert! Each member was fantastic on their own and as a group they were outstanding. Everyone was comfortable in front of the audience and most even threw in some humor along the way. I can't recommend these guys enough. They are a MUST SEE!
Fabulous performance. The second line was great. Wish they had played more Christmas songs, the few they did do were exceptional.
What a wonderful surprise. I had never heard of Preservation Hall Jazz Band before. After reading positive reviews, I decided to attend an event. The was fun, humorous, and engaging. I had a great time, and lots of dancing.
I was expecting a better performance at this event, but I did enjoy the interaction of the musicians with the audience and the "easy" style of the band.
Incredible musicians, voices and spirit. Inimitably U.S., New Orleans and amazing embrace-the-audience performers. A totally memorable and giving performance. Awesome.
This was an old time New Orleans street party packed into Symphony Hall. Good old fashioned jazz with a little Christmas flair tossed in. I look forward to the next time this group is back in town.
To see this group, whatever version possible, is a must for all fans of jazz, music, the South or fun. On the road, the symphony hall feels big for this ensemble, but they can fill any size room with their sound and energy.
If you want to hear music the way it was intended to be heard, no synthesizers, no electric guitars, no beat machine; and very few cords, just plain uplifting music that makes you want to get up and dance, then listen to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Excellent musicians, a great cause, and down south hospitality.
Great musicians in this legendary Band did not disappoint their storied history. They had a great time playing and the audience loved the music, the Disney Hall and their inclusion in the show.
Not only are they expert musicians, but master showmen too! The concert was a sonic delight and a heck of a lot of fun!
We spent our 21st anniversary with Preservation Hall at the Saenger in Mobile. It was undeniably the best musical event I have ever been to. We have enjoyed them in New Orleans as well. I hope they come back to Mobile often. It was one of the best nights of my life, absolutely. It was like seeing living musical history. To make the evening more wonderful was to see them on stage with Roman Street and Tonic Strings--PERFECTION! Thank you for a wonderful and unforgettable anniversary experience!
So cool, so smooth, so much fun!! Plan to make the trip to New Orleans and see them in at their home!
The whole show was amazing from the 2 opening acts (Roman Street and Tonic strings) to the end when all three acts came on stage and played together.
THe entire night was wonderful.. starting with RomanStreet to Tonic Strings and then wrapping the evening up with The Preservation Hall BAnd was a rich cultural event. I am so glad I went and will look for all 3 groups again!! DO NOT MISS THESE GUYS!
Very best part was When the Saints - with all the band and a chunk of the crowd dancing around the theater. But, it was all lovely.
