Preservation Hall & Del McCoury Band to appear on Letterman on July 19!
If you haven't heard yet, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band & The Del McCoury Band will be appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman ON JULY 19TH! There was initially some misinformation going out that it was in July 20 but you can ignore that. SO TUNE IN ON JULY 19!
Read the article by Keith Spera(but ignore the date):
Preservation Hall Jazz Band to appear on Letterman show
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band and bluegrass bandleader Del McCoury are scheduled to appear together on “Late Night with David Letterman” on July 19 July 20. The bands will also perform that night at New York’s City Winery.
The relationship between McCoury’s band and Preservation Hall has proved to be a fruitful one. It grew out of Preservation Hall creative director and tuba player Ben Jaffe’s desire to expand the band’s reach and explore common ground with other forms of roots music. Earlier this year, Preservation Hall released a joint album with McCoury called “American Legacies.”
On Mardi Gras, McCoury even paraded through the streets of the French Quarter with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Other recent outings by Preservation Hall have found the band performing at the Grand Ole Opry – rarely, if ever, has a tuba ever appeared on the most hallowed stage of country music – and throughout the massive Bonnaroo Music Festival in June in Tennessee. One of those Bonnaroo gigs involved sitting in with My Morning Jacket, the much-acclaimed rock band with whom Pres Hall has previously toured and collaborated with at the Voodoo Experience and Jazz Fest.
The relationship between Jaffe and company and My Morning Jacket is the subject of “Louisiana Fairytale,” a new documentary by photographer Danny Clinch. “Louisiana Fairytale” will be screened at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art on July 23 and during the New Orleans Film Festival in October.

A Letter From Some New Fans
Back in April, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band had the opportunity to play for a great group of students from the Wilkinson school in California. Thought we'd take a moment and share a great letter from one of the students in attendance. Thanks for writing, Becca! We had a great time, too.

By Mike Scott, The Times-Picayune
The 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival has announced its lineup for its March 11-20 edition, and at least one locally connected film appears on the list.
Director Danny Clinch's documentary "Live at Preservation Hall: Louisiana Fairytale" will be making its world premiere at the Austin festival, screening as part of the its music-centric "24 Beats Per Second" showcase.
The synposis: "For fifty years the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has played to keep the traditions of New Orleans jazz alive, both at home and on tour around the world. Along the way, they have brought in collaborators of all musical stripes to play, honor, and reinterpret America's first true art form. 'Louisiana Fairytale' documents their collaboration with American rock band My Morning Jacket, showing a legendary group of New Orleans musicians passing on traditions and inspiring a new generation. The film features an intimate performance by both bands in the French Quarter's historic Preservation Hall."
"Live at Preservation Hall" is the latest film from Clinch, who has made a name for himself capturing music figures and events on film.
It is among the more than 100 films set to upspool at this year's event, including such headliners as "The Beaver," "Source Code" "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop," "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" and "Page One: A Year Inside the New York Times."
