Preservation Hall Jazz Band (at Jazz Fest)

We have enjoyed the HBO documentary series Foo Fighters Sonic Highways,  particularly the most recent edition that highlights New Orleans. We are thankful that many of the musicians featured (such as The Preservation Hall Jazz Band) on that episode have come through Syracuse for some amazing shows.

Here’s an extended clip with Trombone Shorty, who was the star of last summer’s Syracuse Jazz Festival.

Day One of the 2013 Syracuse Jazz Festival at Jamesville Beach featured The Doobie Brothers, Kat Wright & the Indomitable Soul Band, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and a fireworks display to celebrate July 4th.  Preservation dedicated their set to the memory of New Orleans icon Lionel Batiste.
