The always thoughtful and eloquent Keith Spera: here is his review of Presevation Hall’s latest, and a very Burkean assessment in the following quote:
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band cannot, and should not, escape or avoid its esteemed and considerable legacy. But a respect for, and connection to, the past should not preclude looking forward. Music, and a musical community, that does not occasionally infuse itself with fresh blood risks being relegated to a museum, or dying. On “That’s It!,” the Preservation Hall Jazz Band sounds more alive than ever.
