Pres Hall releases new album for their Music Outreach program

As I mentioned in a recent post about My Morning Jacket hitting the road with Preservation Hall Jazz Bnad, Preseravation Hall today released Preservation: An Album To Benefit Preservation Hall & The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. Proceeds will benefit Preservation Hall and The Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. The album is a collaboration effort with the current Preservation Hall Jazz Band with a host of other amazing artists including Louis Armstrong, Andrew Bird, Terence Blanchard, Pete Seeger, Dr. John, Blind Boys of Alabama , Brandi Carlile, Cory Chisel, Ani DiFranco, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, Richie Havens, Jason Isbell, Jim James, Angelique Kidjo, Amy LaVere, Anita Briem, Del McCoury, Buddy Miller, Paolo Nutini, and Tom Waits. The album was made over the last year and all the artists traveled to the famed Hall on Saint Peters in the French Quarter. What better day for this album to come out then on Mardi Gras day. So head to the website to find out more on how you can pick up this fabulous album filled with jazz standards made by some of the best in the game.

Found out it is hard to find a place online to buy the album so HERE is the amazon link.
