Over the last year, more than 20 of American music's most exciting artists traveled to Preservation Hall in New Orleans to collaborate with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band on classic New Orleans repertoire. The end result is a timeless and joyous celebration of New Orleans Music. Proceeds from the sale of the project will benefit Preservation Hall and The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. The Album is set for release on Fat Tuesday February 16, 2010 in standard CD, deluxe edition and double-LP collectible formats.
Tune in Wednesday night February 10th at 10:00 p.m. as Ben Jaffe will be in the Studio spinning songs off the upcoming release as well as playing the original recording of the songs and I'm sure he'll have plenty of stories about producing this project!
