About Shake That Thing:
This is what New Orleans music is all about – sacred, profane, jubilant,
solemn, loose, funky and fun. Drawing talent from the full cast of
players featured in Preservation Hall’s nightly performances, this CD
faithfully recreates the verve an energy for which the venue has become
so well known.
Featuring an expanded lineup of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Shake
That Thing is a joyous celebration of over 40 years of New Orleans jazz
tradition. Adding such New Orleans jazz luminaries as trumpeter Leroy
Jones, clarinetist Dr. Michael White, and drummer Shannon Powell, the
band powers through several standards and traditional tunes that easily
rate as some of the most raucous, funky, and happy tracks to come out of
Preservation Hall. From Don Vappie's patois vocals on "Eh la Bas" to
the gospel-meets-street beat of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow," most of the
various New Orleans musical styles are covered here. This is relevant,
rootsy jazz that deserves to be heard well beyond the confines of the
institution it sprang from.
