American Legacies:
The Del McCoury Band with Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Saturday, March 19, 2011, 8pm, Symphony Hall
Bluegrass and jazz get together at the crossroads of American musical legend when the Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band share the stage to celebrate mutual 50th anniversaries. The high lonesome sound of the Appalachians meets the hot and rollicking jazz of New Orleans, creating a seamless blend of traditional harmonies to lift the soul. Be there to witness the coming together of two extraordinary groups of musicians from two distinctly American, but utterly complementary, musical lineages.
“It is good to be the king. And that is precisely what Del McCoury—backed by arguably the most formidable bluegrass outfit in existence—remains.” —Billboard
“The tradition of New Orleans Jazz championed by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has to be the purest expression of the ‘melting pot’ ideal … where talent reigns, anything goes.” —Los Angeles Times
