Preservation Hall Jazz Band
With Mama Digdown's Brass Band, The Handphibians.
Preservation Hall Jazz band, the headliner for Live on King Street, isn’t just a band; it’s an institution. For the last 50-plus years, the dixieland jazz masters have served as the house band for the legendary Preservation Hall in New Orleans, one of the first venues to be desegregated during Jim Crow. In the time since, the band has mastered complementing the classic New Orleans jazz sound with the energy of rock and roll, and its latest album — So It Is, released in April — was produced in part by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek. With Mama Digdown’s Brass Band, the Handphibians.
