    I have always prided myself as being an “eclectic” especially when it comes to music. Jazz, however has never been in any of my playlists….ever. Unitl now. I heard this on NPR in a music interview with the band founder. It simply stopped me in my tracks! Not to metion the impact it had on my 3 year old son, captive in his carseat behind me. I could not wait to come home and find where I could purchase it. The deal was truly sealed when I heard Angelique Kidjo perform “La Vie En Rose” This is a truly hearfelt thanks to some amazing musicians and the love they have for this music.

    This Album Cd was released on Fat Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Fat Tuesday is “Mardi Gras Day” in New Orleans, its a day of celebration & fun. And this year, it was also a time to celebrate the New Orleans Saints 1st Ever Victory, in the Superbowl. So this Cd was released on a very significant day, in New Orleans History. The music in this CD just adds to the celebration!!!

    Now the CD, over the course of the last year or so, a wide variety of diverse musicians traveled to The Preservation Hall in New Orleans to collaborate, and record with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, performing “Classic” New Orleans Jazz & related songs. Somehow, through modern technology, they even included the late, legendary Jazz Musician, Louis Armstrong on the song “Rocking Chair”. The result of all of this, is a “GREAT” CD CELEBRATING THE WONDERFUL MUSIC, OF THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS!!! I’M VERY CONFIDENT, YOU WILL ENJOY IT, VERY MUCH!!!

    This deluxe version of this CD contains 26 songs, the track listing is included in the Amazon product description.

    The participating artists include: There are 26 songs, and these are the 26 collaborating artists on these songs: 1. Andrew Bird, 2.Paolo Nutini, 3.Tom Watts, 4.Yim Yames, 5.Del McCoury, 6.Ani DiFranco, 7.Pete Seeger & Tao Rodriquez-Seeger, 8.Jason Isabell, 9.Brandi Carlile, 10.Richie Havens, 11.Merle Haggard, 12.The Blind Boys of Alabama & Clint Maedgen, 13.Dr.John, 14.Louis Armstrong, 15.Amy LaVere, 16.Steve Earle, 17.Cory Chisel, 18.Buddy Miller, 19.Angelique Kidjo & Terence Blanchard, 20.Anita Briem, 21.Paolo Nutini, 22.Yim Yames, 23.Tom Watts, 24.Del McCoury, 25.Pete Seeger & Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and 26.Pete Seeger & Tao Rodriquez-Seeger.

    This is a “Superbowl Champion” of a CD”, with diverse artists collaborating with The Preservation Hall Jazz Band from, the Home City of the “Reigning Superbowl Football Champions” , the New Orleans Saints!!!!! Wow, I don’t think there’d be a better time to enjoy some great New Orleans Music. This is going to be a “Classic”, and I highly recommend it. Thanks, and may God Bless New Orleans!!!!

    I could easily run out of superlatives describing the latest effort from the remarkable Preservation Hall Jazz Band. However, if you’re reading this review then chances are you’re about to pull the trigger and buy the album. Please do. You will not be disappointed. The song choices (and special guests) are outstanding, and the cause it benefits will ensure that this genre of music will be around for years to come. Special note for Tom Waits fans (like myself): Tom clearly loves New Orleans music. You can tell he’s having fun on this one.
