Narvin Kimball: superb, inimitable, emotionally powerful 'Memories'! I once sat in the front row at Preservation Hall in 1979 hearing these guys: unforgettable!
Dad had great taste in music ! He took MOm and me to see them in March of 1985 ! I grew up on Dads music ! Hed be going on 105 and Im going on 65 ! He was always playing jazz music !
Brings back a lot of memories. I discovered the band around this time - a cassette from my grandfather for Christmas - and soon bought up every album they had out. This is still my favorite iteration of the band; the new generation are great players, but they're more of a Brass Band now; this was good and basic Dixieland. I enjoy New Orleans brass band music of course,but old-fashioned Dixieland will always have a place in my heart. 'St Louis Blues' was my favorite song from this vid; I don't remember if I've ever heard them play it, before.
I just noticed your post, Tommy. Frank Demond would have been pleased to know that you considered him young! In 1884, he was 51 years old, having been born in 1933. Frank was an architect from California who played trombone on the side. He really admired Jim Robinson, and got to be a close friend of Jim's in the '60s. He gave up his prior profession and moved to New Orleans, where he sharpened his skills to the point that when Jim was not able to play a gig for one reason or another, Frank took his place. When Jim passed away shortly after returning from a lengthy tour with George Lewis's band, Frank became the full time trombonist with George's band, and with Preservation Hall Jazz Band. True, he copied many of Jim's musical patterns and he "danced" like Jim, but it was more a tribute to Jim than simply aping him. Frank had tremendous respect for Jim and for all the old musicians.
Well spoken. I spent many evening at the Hall in the first 20 years. My favourite spot was to sit at the entrance next to Demond or at the other end next to Mr. Kimball. They were a very special group sorely missed.
This is my favorite Dixieland (New Orleans Traditional Jazz Band). Isn't it wonderful to see and hear a group of black and white musicians playing so well and together? The Humphrey brothers were particularly wonderful musicians. OK, some San San Francisco Jazz is also good, especially Lu Watters, Turk Murphy, and the later Professor Plum's band with whose members I was a personal friend. But the original New Orleans Jazz is the best, and is best performed today by the Preservation Hall Jazz Bsand.
Dixieland is not the same style as New Orleans , it is often in Major or sharp keys, more cheerful sounding than N.O which usually is pitched with more Blues tonal variation of the trumpet and clarinet (as here). with slow 12 bar blues chord harmony or in Concert Pitch or flat keys. I’m 75 , still playing !
I grew up on this music its Dads music he loved this Jazz band other Dixie land Jazz band Turk Murphty as well There I anit got no body song was on an album they autographed for me in Feb of 1985 when i went to New Orleans with Mom and Dad !! Got to meet Sing Miller Jim Robbison all of them love them !
Ух ты! Супер! Я был в 1984 на их концерте. У меня даже сохранились автографы Кида Томаса Валентайна и Алонсо Стюарта! Это было очень давно и очень супер!!!

Desmond, if still alive, is the last man of this ensemble. Young man here. Marvin Kimbal here on banjo was the last of the olde timers. He fled Katrina and in his 90s passed away in new Jersey with family!! You hear in these tracks he is also a very good olde school vocalist.
Fantastic Jazz
Great musicians!!
Another era.!
They dont make 'em like that anymore!
Thank you for sharing.

Малышу Валентайну тогда было глубоко за 80! Потрясающая команда!

love 'em all .. miss the humphrey brothers ; big jim ; sweet emma ; emanuel ..the new comers are terrific too..
Frank Demond, now 89 years old and living in Southern California. Paul Desmond, famed alto saxophonist, died in 1977.
Their passing leaves a wound in the heart. Only one stranding would be Paul Demond. He would now be well into his 80s.
He passed away a long time ago , barely in his sixties
FAB-U-LOUS!
Met the whole band in Feb of 1985 the very same people .
Frank Demond was born in 1933. The last veteran from this Band, but he don't play today. Now Freddie Lonzo is the trombone player in the PHJB.
What did you mean?
If memory serves be correctly , the band struts round the auditorium at the conclusion
genial es!!!°°
Again: this young trombone player had to substitute Big Jim Rombinson - impossible?
He did it, very well! !
Desmond, if still alive, is the last man of this ensemble. Young man here. Marvin Kimbal here on banjo was the last of the olde timers. He fled Katrina and in his 90s passed away in new Jersey with family!! You hear in these tracks he is also a very good olde school vocalist.
I do hope that someone has a video of Mr. Kimbal singing "Georgia on my Mind" to post on here.
Narvin Kimball
Frank Demond is still alive. And the name was Narvin Kimball -not Marvin
What a tender moment when Frank Lemond was playing 'Sweet Memories, would that be his wife?
They got the music into their blood.
What is the the title of the tune played just before Saint louis blues
I'm very found of it
think you for answer
+Jean-jacques Martimort The changes are almost Sweet Georgia Brown, but all of these tunes are basically the same that way.
+Jean-jacques Martimort I believe it is Louis i an i a.
Tiger Rag; Memories;Lou-i-si-an-i-a; St. Louis Blues; When The Saints Go Marching In.
+Pops Coffee What was in the first part?
+KCarubia See the other video - Preservation Hall, Part One.
How can the audience just sit there without moving?
man......
The real mcCoy
Who is the drummer?
Alonzo Stewart, I guess.
@@diytradjazz No it's Frank Parker.
@tsubasats Oh thank you for correcting me, I did neither know Frank Parker nor checked the first video
Это Алонсо Стюарт. У меня есть его автограф с концерта.
