Preservation Hall, that happy old jalopy of a joint, turned 50 this year.  We talk about it here—or you can listen to some classic tracks recorded there, here.

To whet your appetite: this Dixielandized version of “I’ll Fly Away,” which we adore, from American Legacies: Preservation Hall Jazz Band with the Del McCoury Band (2011).
