SUPERROOTS:

Del McCoury And The Preservation Hall Jazz Band On World Cafe (NPR, September 14, 2011)

There have been few bands with more authentic connections to the past than this roots supergroup, so it is fitting that their recently released collaboration is called American Legacies. The record does more than just exhibit the refined style of both groups -- McCoury and Preservation Hall effortlessly meld bluegrass and New Orleans jazz, marrying finger-picked banjo and fiddle with sousaphone and clarinet.

Hear the supergroup perform songs from American Legacies during this edition of World Cafe. The music for this session was recorded and mixed at WNYC in New York.
