For Fat Man by Preservation Hall Brass

For Fat Man by Preservation Hall Brass

Preservation Hall, as its name suggests, is all about keeping alive the tradition of New Orleans jazz. As such, they straddle a line between trad jazz, which I'm not always a huge fan of, and New Orleans brass, which I adore. For Fat Man sits bang in the middle, and it's a riot. It's mostly trad, but played loose and with a hint of wildness that lets the more raucous New Orleans brass vibe shine through. A good pick.
