- Preservation Hall Jazz Band & The Del McCoury Band perform "I'll Fly Away" on Letterman. From their album American Legacies: Preservation Hall Jazz Band & The Del McCoury Band" Available now at: mccourymusic.com/AmericanLegac...
Gotta admit this is GREAT. Never thought of mixing Dixieland Jazz and Bluegrass, but WOW does this hit on all cylinders. Absolutely amazing.
Oh yeah, they both have Banjos but they're different.
Ya brother!!
Bluegrass has a swing feel similar to Ragtime which is the foundation of Jazz.
@@MH-il1lk In fact both genres have one thing in common, that is the Banjo which you can hear over those horns because back in the good old fashioned Days of Dixieland Jazz, the Guitar wasn't loud enough. So Guitarists got to play 6 string Guitar-Banjos (aka Banjitars).
Do it agin love it
Wow.....thats my Great Uncle Charlie up there doing his thing!!!
Love you Unc....ur the greatest!!!
Charlie Daniels, and may he RIP.
@@RockStarOscarStern634 Charlie Gabriel on clarinet.
@@christianathomas1913 Yep and it sounds amazing
I'll take this music over some of the stuff that's made today. What an AWESOME performance.
This is the spirit of American music.
New Orleans Jazz just makes you happy!!!
Abso-lute-ly!
cafecreole2003 Absolutely! Life affirming.
I was turned on to the Del McCoury band when they did an album with Steve Earle some years back. Growing up in N.O., I've followed PHJB since the Sweet Emma days. To hear them together is priceless. I personally love Clint Maedgen's voice. Check out some of the stuff he does with his other project, the New Orleans Bingo Show. He does some stuff that is pure old school swamp pop , which he has the perfect voice for.
Great commentary! Love Clint!
Listened to this in memory of my Dad, who made a beeline for Preservation Hall every time he visited New Orleans. A stroke of brilliance to collaborate with Del McCoury & band. Joyful noise!
Now that's Dixieland string band ever if I heard it. Two distinctively american musics from down south. Crazy good.
I love big band jazz music because everyone seems to be playing their own song yet somehow they all amount to one consistent song. It’s not so much like classical where the orchestra all follow the same/similar notes. I love and appreciate both
If i ever feel down or wondering where this country is going, I put this video on and it's better than any drug or speech, especially when i sing along with Del McCory band or dig the back and forth between the clarinet and the violin who obviously are digging each other. Just wonderful!
The tuba player just rocks. The whole performance is so good it could hardly go any better but the tuba player just notches it up a little.
mikosoft You mean the dude with the epic fro? Yeah, that's Ben Jaffe, the Creative Director of Preservation Hall. He's also a living legacy and quite a visionary (and one of the nicest guys ever). Google a history of Preservation Hall, it's really interesting. :-)
+mikosoft Ben Jaffe is the son of Allan and Barbara Jaffe who bought Preservation Hall and turned it from an art gallery with some jazz nights into a legendary music hall in 1961 to preserve the legacy of traditional New Orleans music and give the original creators jobs and a permanent place to play. Allan also created the first of many Preservation Hall Jazz Bands and played tuba with them, leading them in tours all over the world. Luckily , Ben has carried on the tradition for the family. There are videos showing the original Preservation Hall Jazz Bands with Allan playing an awesome tuba and dancing with that sousaphone even more than Ben does.

mikosoft That’s Ben Jaffe. His father founded Preservation Hall in 1961 to preserve the traditional New Orleans Jazz. Ben is the creative director and he’s the brains behind these collaborations they’ve been doing with other artists in recent years.
Sousaphone
Small taste of Heaven…can’t wait to get there!! Love it!!
That man can really sing
Great Duo band love the Saxplayers voice
His name is Clint Maedgen and he's awesome.
Best band combo ever.
Dixieland Jazz and Bluegrass go together like PB and J
This mighty churchy
i'm happy because there are great musicians alive, yet , sorry for my bad english im from mexico
You, like many people from Mexico, write English better than our current president (Trump)!!
That is *bleepin* awesome. Two of my favorite genres thrown in to a big bubblin stew pot, and cooked to melodic perfection, and served up with cornbread. That was amazin. :)
What a collaboration! Two great bands with such respect for each other.
This certainly combines elements from Bluegrass, & Jazz (both old & new w/ Guitar & Banjo).
I saw this band live in New Orleans five years ago they are some of the best oldest musicians alive today.
First saw The Preservation Hall Jazz Band on Saturday Night Live in 1976 and they were fantastic then and are still fantastic! :) Keep on making great music!
This is just wonderful and awesome. Two great genres coming together like that, can’t help but love it.
THE KIND OF MUSIC GOD LOVES ! FANTASTIC MUSICIANS!
Très belle leçon de groove dans ce New Orleans Jazz exceptionnel !!
Del McCoury & his band have great voices which blend together beautifully. It is just a different style. Not my taste, but definitely fabulous talent. Personally I love the singing styles of Clint Maedgen from PHJB. Del McCoury must like him too cause from what I've learned he has worked with PHJB (including Clint Maedgen) many times. I think it's pretty cool. I never heard of him til I saw the Preservation Hall Jazz Band live several wks ago. Fantastic. One of the best shows I have ever seen.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!
I loveeeeee it!!
This is was awesome!
Man, These Guys ROCK!!!!
Stunning.
this is so great
beautiful, simply beautiful.
so good!
Dedicate this to the late Mr. Tom Benson rest easy
I'm buying that album for sure.
great combination
oh yeah....just saw these folk on Austin City Limits and had to see more! Great stuff!
Awesome music by both bands, blessings to all of you musicians
PRAISE THE LORD!!!! So much soul
Awesome!
Heaven!
How cool is this?!
I saw these guys live in New Orleans at Preservation Hall on July 13 and then, just a week later once I had travelled on to Nashville towards the end of my trip, I caught them on Letterman - it was awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them both live and then on TV later. :)
amazing players. these guys know how to do jazz right. Their new album is incredible
Fantastic Voices! Fantastic Musicians! Super Performance! 10 out of 10!
superbe, superbe
How I love this great music.
Aniando Sweden
MORE!!
Agree! Apart of from that, however, the combination of the two bands is amazing! I saw The Preservation Hall Jazz Band at the Jazz Standard a few years ago and they had the house rockin'. Not sure that that small venue could have contained both bands - - but what a treat to hear them perform together.
God brilliant guys
This is that sound Tuba skinny is also known for
Liquidrone forever!
Love the tuba.
RIP Charlie Daniels, this one's for you.
Tears. Everything is gonna be alright
You can buy that full version with the great ending on iTunes. Search Del McCourty I'll Fly Away and choose the American Legacies version. 99 cents.
Somebody explain how it gets better than this? I've seen both bands in person....but never together.....I'll fly away...
That smile on Dell's face says it all!
That's about the best damn thing ever!
This is AMERICA!
I have been to New Orleans a hundred times and never heard a band this good.. All I have experienced is really smelly streets, witnessed street fights, and been offered drugs at random.. But then again it's a party city.
+Paul Andrews It all depends on the time of year you go....Pres Hall Band is there just need to check their schedule and then there is the Jazz Festival.
+Paul Andrews 100's of times and those are your only experiences?!...LOL My advice....get off of Bourbon, away from your convention center and hotel....and see some shows on Frenchman Street....take a trolley to City Park and take pictures at the sculpture garden.....see the amazing old homes and cool vintage clothing stores in the Garden District....or visit the Maple Leaf Bar in Uptown to see a band of this claliber almost any night of the week. Talk to the locals and see where they like to go.....none of them will say Bourbon Street. Get out of the cesspool that is the French Quarter and actually see the city before you leave stupid comments.
Preservation Hall has three shows a night, Frtizel's just down the street has killer music all day/night, and a short walk off Bourbon to Frenchmaen St you'll find DBA, Spotted Cat, etc. We found all that our first day. Hope you get to see more next trip!
P.S. My cousin is playing on Trumpet!
i LOVE Mark! He's got a big fan from Toronto!
meichards19... i was in the front row at that show, 3-19-11. insane! ronnie mccoury and charlie gabriel are pretty much the best mandolin and clarinet players on the planet. and maedgen absolutely brought down the house with this tune - which had twice as much soloing and a much longer, more energetic ending from maedgen than the clip shown above. that was truly one of the best shows in the history of music. BTW, is it just me or does letterman look like carol o'connorr but with a redder face?
I can't believe people are being critical of this.. This is fantastic.. Two giants of their genres coming together..Amazing stuff..
Those people are very unhappy with themselves and their life ... they should spend their energy bettering themselves instead of putting people down.
Yeah some folks are depressed and won't let it go. Let it go bro' and you too can fly away!
Nice :)
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎉
As they say in NOLA, "Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Please let them play again!"
Great music such as this has no color. Del - thanks.
Albert Brumley is smiling down on this one.
interesting combo
If you don't like don't watch it I don't like negative comments
I can hear the Banjo over those Brass Horns cause the Plastic Drum head is acting like a Loud Amplifier. In the Big Band era Guitarists used 6 String Guitar Banjos to compete with the Brass Horns.
A great group, playing their ass off, and giving you there soul and all you can comment on is his mustache. what the hell?????????????
If this don't put the vinegar in your pickle, you're in need of a transplant PDQ! Man A-LIVE!
still.
RIP Charlie Daniels
An odd combination - PHJB and folk singers. But then again, traditional jazz is a sort of folk music.
dangeorges : Not "folk singers".. Bluegrass artists.. It has a long tradition.. Del and the boys are some of the finest pickers in the business..
Oil and water?
One thing wrong here ... it's too short, much too short ;)
Bet y'all didn't know both were always jazz.
Maybe you need to watch again a little more closely.
i liked the bluegrass version better in this video
Needs more cowbell
Great band, but what the HELL is the singer sayin'? Can't understand a word he's singing.
definitely has that bluesy jazzy groove to his voice tough to pick apart haha. If you listen to this kind of thing a lot it gets easier.... Dr. John, never could understand him lol, now it's easy. IDK it grows on you haha
One glad morning when this day is over / I'll fly away / To a home on God's Celestial shore / I'll fly away
If you weren’t a goddamn heathen and had ever been to church you’d know the words!
@pollobollo27 bad english? you probably write better than half the english-speaking community on the internet
write your own songs and don't mess with a standard
seriously, a black man should have sung this
Interesting idea. Why a black person especially? FWIW, it is a song written by a white person lodged strongly in a white gospel tradition.
None of the black guys sung, I don't know what you guys r talking about
Just sing it straight. The new style of "singing" sounds like the artist can't find the note.
"new"
It's called singing with heart and apparently you have no heart. I loved it all da way
The band sounds good, but that first singer - not so much.
Hard to take them seriously with that terrible mustache on the lead singer
That first singer is awful.
rugshort First singer is amazing. Sings in the Dixieland tradition.
Rob Sapp Alright. He can sing.
He is singing out of his range, and getting gritty to do it, vocally that's not sustainable for a lifetime.
+Kyle Pett Clint Maedgen is not singing out of his range at all. You don't understand jazz singing, which intentionally tries to imitate the whole range of sounds of the instruments and that's also Clint's natural singing voice. He's also singing with great "SOUL", which is the heart of New Orleans traditional jazz.
And yes, it certainly IS sustainable for a lifetime. My parents ( both classical musicians) said something similarly ridiculous about Brenda Lee , "Little Miss Dynamite" , early in her career, because of something very creative but difficult she did with her throat, even though they liked her singing. They didn't recognize that it was natural for her and wasn't the strain they thought it was. I told them to watch her career and see how long her voice lasts and Brenda NEVER lost her voice and got nothing but raves for her unique singing.
+rugshort And I am sure your singing voice would make angels cry. Troll
Nevermind that...between the two of you.....who is a touring musician..and who is a youtube commenter? Now with that in mind....why should anyone give a shit what you think?
lead vocal is unbearable.
