Preservation Hall is located in the heart of the French Quarter and was started almost 50 years ago by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. BEN JAFFE has assumed his late father's role as director of Preservation Hall. As part of our summer series of interviews recorded at Jazz Fest, Jaffe shows Bob around the Hall and discusses the state of post-Katrina New Orleans, the history of the band and of Preservation Hall itself, which dates to the 1750s. Jaffe also discusses the band's latest CD, called "Preservation," recorded at the hall with guest performers such as Pete Seeger and Richie Havens.
Bob Edwards Weekend is a two-hour interview showcase, in which celebrated host Bob Edwards highlights the life and work of interesting people, from newsmakers, historians, and authors to artists, actors, and regular folks too.
