We are truly honored to be working with
a living part of American history, New Orleans' prestigious
Preservation Hall.
Preservation Hall is located in the
French Quarter, just three blocks from the Mississippi
River. The Hall has served many functions over the years.
Originally built as a private residence in 1750, the hall
has evolved into a tavern, inn, photo studio and an art
gallery. The inside of the hall contains portraits of the
musicians who first filled it with the beautiful sounds
of New Orleans Jazz.
Preservation Hall opened its doors
in 1961. The hall was created as a sanctuary, to protect
and honor New Orleans Jazz which had lost much of its
popularity to modern jazz and rock n roll. Allan and
Sandra Jaffe, the hall’s
founders, wanted a place where New Orleans musicians could
play New Orleans Jazz, a style, they believed, should not
disappear.
Today, over 40 years later, the
hall is still going strong. On any given night, the hall
is filled to capacity with people eager to hear New Orleans
jazz played by veteran musicians in their 70’s
and 80’s
and younger musicians learning and embracing music that
is both sweet and very beautiful.
Fast Atmosphere is proud to have developed
a new web site for Preservation Hall and to be providing
merchandise fulfillment and digital downloads distribution
that have helped this amazing music make its
way to all corners of the globe.
