The Preservation Hall Jazz Band travels worldwide spreading their mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans Jazz. Formed by Allan and Sandra Jaffe in 1961, Preservation Hall Jazz Band was borne out of the rich New Orleans millieu that was to give the world Jazz music. Its founding members played with the likes of Jelly-Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Buddy Bolden & Sweet Emma Barrett—legends that instilled in the group a committment to New Orleans roots music that still shines through today.
2011 is the 50th Anniversary of the incomparable Preservation Hall Jazz Band and they will be setting the tone for Soul’d Out Music Festival 2011, playing the opening night kick-off at The Crystal Ballroom with special guest, March 4th Marching Band.

Good golly, this sounds fabulous. I’d love to be there, celebrating music and spirit with the Preservation Hall Jazzers. Thanks!

I am a poor jazz musician and jazz student who has been learning and playing old time jazz a lot lately. This show would both be highly entertaining, and like jazz school!!! Plus, March 4th is about my favorite Portland act, and I haven’t seen them in almost a year! Pick me pick me!

Charleston. Jitterbug. Boogie Woogie.
*jazz hands*

have seen pictures, read about, and heard many recordings from preservation hall and until I can visit and experience the place and the sounds first hand, this is the next best thing.
and of course, always love to see M4! both bands keep the true spirit of music alive, and I would love to attend.

I wanna see lauryn hill!!!
March 17, 2011 at 16:20
These two groups are great!
March 17, 2011 at 16:36
As an ex-Chicagoan, I’d love to jive to some PDX jazz!
March 17, 2011 at 16:42
used to live in nola. would love to see these guys again!
March 17, 2011 at 17:04
March 4th ROCKS!! This will be an awesome show. Would love to go. :)
March 17, 2011 at 17:15
I’m half New Orleanian and 100% southern. In Portland. God help me.
March 17, 2011 at 18:20
PHJB in PDX!! Ah yay! I’d love to attend with my gf. Just got back from Nola and missing the atmosphere.
March 17, 2011 at 19:05
Jazz is in my blood and it’s my birthday month! I’ve never seen these guys and would love to go to the gig.
March 17, 2011 at 21:18
On my trip to New Orleans 10 years ago I tried and tried to go see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, but it was always jam packed – I could only hope to catch a glimpse through the crowds that were also stuck outside wishing to get in. I’d love to get to see them in Portland!
March 17, 2011 at 21:24
Preservation Hall Jazz!! They’re the best – last time I heard them was in New Orleans, 17 years ago, and I would love to hear them again.
March 17, 2011 at 23:30
Was forced to leave New Orleans after hurricane Katrina. Am now about to relocate from North Carolina to Portland at the beginning of April. Would love for this to be my first Portland outing and to experience a little of NOLA once more. :)
March 18, 2011 at 03:21
I have been to NOLA (as the locals say) dozens of times as a child and adult but have never been lucky enough to hear Preservation band live. It would be epic to see them in person. And, what Portlander doesn’t want to see M4?? Together these bands could chase away the worst of the rainy blues! Please let me soothe my soul :-)
March 18, 2011 at 07:11
We all know what it means to miss New Orleans.
March 18, 2011 at 07:26
How fantastic it would be to see Preservation Hall Jazz Band… yes, please!!
March 18, 2011 at 07:41
Wow, this is like the Pope coming to town. Please give me the tickets so I can get some religion!!
March 18, 2011 at 08:04
I’ve been missing New Orleans (my roots/hometown) and going to this show would really help get me through my NoLa depression.
March 18, 2011 at 08:11
I’ve never seen jazz like this, seems like an incredible show! I would love to experience this!
March 18, 2011 at 08:15
Saw these guys in NOLA a few years back and would LOVE to be able to see them again!!
March 18, 2011 at 09:05
i would love to win these tix to give to my dept director… he’s from NOLA & won’t be able to get back for the jazz festival this year. thanks for the opportunity to win!
March 18, 2011 at 10:49
Grew up with a lot of jazz in my city and my life, miss it here in Portland sometimes. This will be a great show, whether I make it or not (hope I do though).
March 18, 2011 at 16:20
I’m so glad this festival is gaining ground, we need more support for great music like this in Portland! Thanks for promoting the cool stuff ;)
March 19, 2011 at 18:03
I’m missing that good N’awlins jazz
March 19, 2011 at 18:36
Just give “Al” the tickets.
March 20, 2011 at 03:25
I moved here two days ago and found this article tonight. Jazz is the most beautiful music in the world. Portland is the most beautiful city in the world. Why would I not want to combine those two things and make my first few weeks here unforgettable? Pick me!
March 20, 2011 at 11:41
Preservation Hall Jazz Band inspired me to play jazz 15 years ago, then recently, March 4th, inspired me to pull the dusty instrument out of its case and give it another go.
Would love to go!
March 20, 2011 at 12:39
I’ve never seen March 4th, but based on all the rave reviews, sounds like I shouldn’t keep putting it off… and my mom’s birthday is March 4th. Give your mother a random phone call… it’ll make her day!
March 21, 2011 at 08:59
Jazzilla… and Jazzoookey!
The Jazz Godzillas of New Orleans and their trusty marching guest. What a night this will be!

Why would I like to attend?… Why would I not want to. It seems like yesterday when I heard March Fourth Marching Band for the first time as they marched out of the 2004 Crystal Ballroom Birthday Party show. I had missed the performance inside but caught what may have been even a better show out on the street where they rallied a crowd and had people dancing in the streets outside the annex.. And the preservation jazz band!! I grew up listening to my dad play the trumpet and cornet in a dixieland jazz band and truly do appreciate the classic jazz sound. In our modern age it is rare to be able to hear people who are still playing the more traditional sounds and styles of jazz…especially out here. Truly a sound that seems to be becoming a lost art as the oldtimers from that age are passing on. These tickets would truly be appreciated in these hands!!

Got to see PHJB at High Sierra last year and was my fav show over Widespread, Black Crowes, and Dr Dog. They walked right into the crowd and formed a parade out of the venue. So much fun. Would love to take my special lady friend to see them.
March 24, 2011 at 15:51
Oh my, oh my, oh my! This looks AMAZING! I really would love to go and see these two phenomenal groups.
March 24, 2011 at 19:37
A decade ago, when I was a street poet in the French Quarter, I spent hours letting the sweet sounds of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band wash over me and set my spirit to sparkling in the midst of a hard and grimy town. It will be a supreme treat to see them with my savior of the time, now also relocated to PDX, and with M4 as an opener… Wow. A poet has run out of words. :D
March 26, 2011 at 10:22
Preservation Hall Jazz Band was the my introduction to NO jazz in the 60′s South as a baby boy. Would love to hear them all grown up.
March 31, 2011 at 15:31
I saw March 4th at Crown Room once, they were super awesome. Love to see them again, send me!
March 31, 2011 at 21:13
We saw these guys in New Orleans in 2004 and it was one of the best musical experiences we’ve ever had. We’d be so thrilled to get to see them again here in our own town with the March 4 Marching Band!
April 7, 2011 at 11:08
It would make my month if I could go to this show
April 7, 2011 at 11:19
Great bands… Me shake shake, jazzy jive.
April 7, 2011 at 11:37
The real deal!
April 7, 2011 at 12:45
Sounds like so much fun!! Oh how we would love to go!
April 7, 2011 at 12:48
Don’t want to miss this great opportunity, these guys are the real deal!
April 7, 2011 at 13:05
Fantastic bill! I have been unable to return to New Orleans for years and love the fact that these guys and Stanton Moore and the Rebirth folks have been including Ptown in their rounds.
April 7, 2011 at 14:17
I saw these guys years ago at Jazz Fest in NOLA and would do anything to see them again.
April 7, 2011 at 14:39
This sounds so amazing! I would really love to go to this show, and surprise my friend with a ticket for her Birthday!
April 7, 2011 at 16:40
We adore the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, that’s why we want to go!!!!!
