The '''Preservation Hall Jazz Band''' is a New Orleans jazz band founded in New Orleans by tuba player [[Allan Jaffe]] in the early 1960s. The band derives its name from [[Preservation Hall]] in the French Quarter. In 2005, the Hall's doors were closed for a period of time due to [[Hurricane Katrina]], but the band continued to tour.
==Early years==
Line 43:
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band continued to tour nationally and internationally. The band was led by trumpeter [[Wendell Brunious]], later replaced by his older brother, [[John Brunious]].
In 2006, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band was awarded the [[National Medal of Arts]], the nation's highest honor for artistic excellence. The award was presented to Benjamin Jaffe and co-founder of Preservation Hall, [[Sandra Jaffe]], who accepted the award from President and Mrs. [[Laura Bush]] in an Oval Office ceremony on November 9, 2006. The citations read: "With enormous talent and pride, this ageless ensemble has toured the world displaying the unbreakable spirit of New Orleans and sharing the joy of New Orleans jazz with us all."
Nearing Preservation Hall's 45th anniversary, the band collaborated with musicians from other genres, such as [[Blind Boys of Alabama]] on their Grammy Award winning album ''Down in New Orleans''. The band's benefit album in 2010 contained contributions from [[Andrew Bird]], [[Del McCoury Band]], [[Jim James]], [[Dr. John]], [[Pete Seeger]], and [[Tom Waits]]. The Hall band supported [[My Morning Jacket]] on tour. The album ''American Legacies'' was a collaboration with the Del McCoury band, uniting New Orleans jazz and bluegrass music.
In 2014,
The [[Trey McIntyre Project]] dance ensemble collaborated with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to create ''Ma Maison'' and ''The Sweeter End'', two contemporary dance works set. The two ensembles toured numerous dates nationally, including performances at the [[Hollywood Bowl]] and the [[Lincoln Center]].
