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.
Last night Chris Godsick and Jay Feather, two SU grads-turned Hollywood insiders, attended an advanced showing of their series “VEEP, ” starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus (as a Vice President).
Here they talk with Professor Robert Thompson about the freedom of working with HBO.
