‘their music glistens with zest and joy; an avalanche of cheers followed every number…’
– New York Times

‘Return to the roots of jazz, America's great indigenous art form, and don't miss an opportunity for a performance by the “best jazz band in the land”.’
– San Francisco Examiner

‘The tradition of New Orleans Jazz championed by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band has to be the purest musical expression of the 'melting pot' ideal.... Preservation Hall defined that other characteristically American attribute: Where talent reigns, anything goes.’
– Los Angeles Times

‘It takes Calvinist reserve to stay seated during music performed by the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.’
– Washington Post
