Preservation Hall Hot Four
HALLOWEEN
NEW ORLEANS PRESERVATION, VOL.1
Preservation Hall Records
2009
Preservation Hall's new animated music video "St. James Infirmary" is an homage to the Fleischer Brothers' Cab Calloway cartoon - in my opinion taking the creative concept even further, and realizing its potential much more fully with the unique contributions of New Orleans' cultural images. The Hall's video of the magical King Britt mix may be viewed at the web link I've included here.
