SUMMARY:Preservation Hall Jazz Band: Creole Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the season as the Preservation Hall Jazz Band returns with the Creole Christmas concert series. Join as the band performs New Orleans classics as well as some of our best-loved holiday selections with a twist. \nAt a moment when musical streams are crossing with unprecedented frequency\, it’s crucial to remember that throughout its history\, New Orleans has been the point at which sounds and cultures from around the world converge\, mingle\, and resurface\, transformed by the Crescent City’s inimitable spirit and joie de vivre. Nowhere is that idea more vividly embodied than in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band\, which has held the torch of New Orleans music aloft for more than 50 years\, all the while carrying it enthusiastically forward as a reminder that the history they were founded to preserve is a vibrantly living history. \nFor those wary that a band with the rich history of the PHJB is tackling new material\, Jaffe is quick to point out that Preservation Hall – which his parents\, Allan and Sandra Jaffe\, founded in 1961 – was never meant to be a museum. At its beginnings it broke racial boundaries to present the living legends of New Orleans music\, living links to the origins of jazz. Today\, with a band whose ages range nearly 60 years\, the mission remains the same: to pass on the traditions while continually revitalizing it with new blood and fresh ideas. \n“I see it as something that’s necessary for the evolution and survival of New Orleans music\,” Jaffe says. “Interpreting the repertoire that’s been around for a hundred years is one thing\, but the challenge is to keep that repertoire and those traditions alive while at the same time being honest about who you are as a musician\, allowing all of your musical influences to be reflected in what you create.”
