Since
opening its doors in the historic French Quarter to the public in 1961,
the iconic Preservation Hall's goal has been to keep traditional New
Orleans jazz in the spotlight. The band is doing just that under the
auspices of current director Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and
Sandra Jaffe. The Preservation Hall Jazz Band has toured the country
for more than 25 years to bring the distinctly American form of music to
contemporary audiences. Basin Street Blues, Go to the Mardi Gras,
I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate, Sweet Substitute, Short Dress,
Shake That Thing, and When the Saints Go Marching In. |

Guy Lombardo's Royal
Canadians

"The
Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven." Countless people remember
with nostalgia the tradition of Guy Lombardo with his Royal Canadians
playing at New York City's Waldorf Astoria on New Year's Eve. Since
the death of Lombardo in 1977, the playing of Auld Lang Syne at the stroke
of midnight has become a tradition as it is performed by various bands
before enthusiastic audiences throughout the world. Those who look
back remember that distinctive recognizable style - the exaggerated
saxophone vibratos, the clipped brass phrases, and a vocal styling that
immediately identifies the orchestra as Guy Lombardo's. Besides its
signature Auld Lang Syne, the most important ingredient of the Guy
Lombardo orchestra was its consistency in playing wonderful tunes like Seems
Like Old Times, Boo Hoo, Coquette, Sweethearts on Parade and Ain't
She Sweet, all written by Carmen Lombardo. Johnson Rag, Bye
Bye Blues, and Enjoy Yourself are also some of its recognizable
tunes. Today's orchestra includes in its program an occasional
Lombardo style arrangement of contemporary classic pop tunes. |
