Concert review: Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Del McCoury Band at Red Butte Garden

The Del McCoury Band and Preservation Hall Jazz Band performed together at Red Butte Garden Sunday night.

Sunday night, two of America’s legendary groups got together for a rare concert at Red Butte Garden. The Del McCoury Band–a brilliant bluegrass crew led by a former member of Bill Monroe’s band–and New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band made an album called “American Legacies” in 2011, and they occasionally get together for shows–only five in 2012, so the show at a chilly Red Butte Garden amphitheater was a real treat.

I reviewed the show for Salt Lake City Weekly, and you can go check out the full review at the City Weekly Website.
