We received the following question last week regarding the Made In New Orleans:The Hurricane Sessions DVD:
"I have bought the 'Made in New Orleans' CD and DVD. I am disappointed that
there is absolutely no information with the DVD. I should be very grateful if
you could tell me who are the musicians at the Newport Jazz Festival and those
that accompany George Lewis on 'Redwing'." -Philip S.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band musicians performing at the Newport Jazz Festival(year unknown) are Dede Pierce(trumpet,vocals), Billie Pierce(piano), Willie Humphrey(clarinet), "Big Jim" Robinson(trombone), Captain John Handy(saxophone),Allan Jaffe(tuba), and Josiah "Cie" Frazier(drums). They are performing the song "I Want A Little Girl".
On the Preservation Hall performance of "Redwing", George Lewis is accompanied by Avery "Kid" Howard(trumpet), "Big Jim" Robinson(trombone), Alcide "Slow Drag" Pavageau(bass), Dolly Adams(piano), and Joe Watkins(drums).
The DVD also includes:
-Preservation Hall Jazz Band music video "Complicated Life"
-The first appearance of Preservation Hall on the Brinkley News Hour in 1961
-A German TV newsreel featuring Preservation Hall
Thanks for your question Philip!
Welcome to Made In New Orleans!
Hello everyone and welcome to the Preservation Hall Made in New Orleans Blog! We put this up with the intentions of creating a dialogue with you about New Orleans and New Orleans Music, in addition to a place to post questions, answers, and comments about the latest Preservation Hall Jazz Band release, MADE IN NEW ORLEANS: The Hurricane Sessions.
Each week, Benjy and I will post on a variety of topics; everything from what’s been happening here at the Hall, features on Preservation Hall musicians of the past/present, responses to your questions/comments, and personal accounts of life in our fair city of New Orleans. We’d like for you to contribute your stories and memoirs as well. Tell us about that time you stumbled off Bourbon Street and into the Hall and saw Billie & Dede Pierce in 1963. Or maybe that time when the Preservation Hall Band played in your hometown. Tell us your New Orleans story. We welcome it.
For those of you who’ve purchased MADE IN NEW ORLEANS, please feel free to drop in with any questions or feedback about your sets. As you may or may not know, each box is unique and contains a variety of Preservation Hall memorabilia. Our initial plan was to create a page on our website displaying all the possible contents of the sets along with a brief description of each item. In the process, we realized that the stories surrounding these items and people are beyond what a caption can summarize. I can speak personally when I say that every week I’m learning something new about the Hall, the venerable musicians who’ve played here, and New Orleans. So ask away. If we can’t answer you right away, we’ll look it up for you. So tell us what ya got. For more info on MADE IN NEW ORLEANS or PRESERVATION HALL, ask us or visit www.preservationhall.com.
Have a lovely day. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ronnie Numbers & Ben Jaffe
