Preservation Hall: Music from the Heart


Overview

On St. Peter street, in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, stands Preservation Hall, an institution unique in American cultural and musical life. In a historic building, the pioneers of traditonal jazz have played their music nearly every night since the 1960s. William Carter tells the story of the hall itself, the personalities who ran it and, above all, the music and musicians of New Orleans.
