    They swing like only the second line can. All in all, it's a cause for celebration (and fifty more years of Preservation Hall).

    The more it changes with the times the more its essential spirit comes through. And it's guaranteed to cheer you up.

    With the multitude of guests, perhaps this would be better as a DVD. When experienced as audio only the ears are forced to make some wild and sudden adjustments. But maybe that's one of this disc's perverse attractions.

    This is an uplifting concert--and here's to the next 50 years of The Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
