Why you should go…
Preservation Hall has hosted traditional New Orleans jazz in the same bare-bones French Quarter room since 1961, with no food, drinks, or air conditioning to distract from the music. The resident Preservation Hall Jazz Band and guest musicians play multiple sets a night, with standing room mixed among a few benches. Doors open shortly before each set and seating is first come, first served.
