Synopsis

Album Description

Once again we encounter the miracle of New Orleans music. The music of this band abounds in the friendly joyfulness so characteristic of the magic that is New Orleans-style. Every number in their band repertoire, from spirituals and blues to such Original Dixieland Jazz Band favorites as "Clarinet Marmalade" or the trite novelty of the roaring 20's, "Ice-Cream" is played whole-heartedly with best of their ability to entertain and bring happiness to all the people, although at times, these musicians themselves may have had little to be happy about . Even the melody, "Closer Walk With Thee", oft used as a funeral hymn, is perfroemed with such a relaxed beat and feeling that no on can fail to be moved by the band's expressive playing and Sweet Emma's heartfelt singing.

CD Reviews

Preservation Hall Jazz at its best

Miranda Rand | Schenectady, NY USA | 11/09/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Very good listening. Traditional jazz at its best. The variety and scope of Miss Emma's jazz provides lively entertainment. Besides some of the traditional favorites the 2CD set includes several delightful renditions of old-time hymn tunes. As a lay minister I often use music for a time of reflection right after my message. A couple of times, while conducting worship at a nursing home I used the hymns for the musical interlude. A delighted,toe-tapping response ensued."
