Dr John / Preservation Hall Jazz Band
Sit down and visit with the Crescent City piano professor and hoodoo rock and roller Dr. John as he recalls his early days as a studio guitarist in New Orleans and the West Coast birth of the Night Tripper. And tag along as we drop by the place where time stands still, but the music jumps, Preservation Hall. Meet musicians, fans and the family that started it all.
