The TD Toronto Jazz Fest Kicked off this week creating a vibration throughout the city’s core. Sure to be a festival highlight, The Preservation Jazz Band brought all the sensibilities of a bonafide party atmosphere to the Concert Hall Saturday night.
While the rain had stopped by the time the world-famous New Orleans ensemble took to the stage it understandably took a bit of time for the crowd to shake off the dampness and warm up.
The Band has been around since 1963 during their start in New Orleans’ French Quarter, and over fifty years and several generations later they know how to draw a crowd.
Bomhard Theater hosted an appreciative crowd Sunday night, ready to clap, sing, and even dance along with the band members who make up the current Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
