  • Description

    This album is a no-holds-barred tour of songs and sounds that sum up the simultaneous (and often intersecting) histories of two distinctively American musical forms the jazz that has drawn music lovers from around the world to New Orleans for more than a century, and the "hillbilly jazz" of bluegrass, created more than 60 years ago by Dels one-time employer, Bill Monroe And His Bluegrass Boys.

    Description

    The title of American Legacies is plural because it represents both the legacies of jazz and bluegrass in the identities of its principals, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the Del McCoury Band. That makes for a felicitous pairing of traditional Southern styles that leans toward one and then the other, but is at its best when the musicians blend together.
