On Tuesday, July 24, 2007, Preservation Hall Recordings released Made in New Orleans: The Hurricane Sessions (MINO) featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Following Hurricane Katrina, Benjamin Jaffe salvaged master tapes of
early Preservation Hall Jazz Band recordings from the legendary Sea-Saint studios, which had been flooded by 6 feet of water. The tracks, originally produced by his father Allan Jaffe (1936-1987), inspired Benjamin to create a musical and visual experience that bridges the bands past, present and future. The Hurricane Sessions is a collection of songs; some recorded Pre-Hurricane Katrina and some Post-Katrina that display the breadth and legacy of Preservation Hall.
The MINO collection comes in two versions; a limited signed and numbered Collector’s Edition and the Deluxe Edition. The Collector’s Edition, limited to 504 signed and numbered copies, includes a CD of the latest recording from Preservation Hall Jazz Band, a DVD, which contains rare and previously unviewed footage dating back to its first national TV appearance on the Brinkley News Hour in 1961, original press photographs, archival documents, an unreleased 7" vinyl record of The Olympia Brass Band, and an original Polaroid photo from the "MY NEW ORLEANS" series shot by Preservation Hall Creative Director, Benjamin Jaffe. The Deluxe Edition contains reproductions of the original materials as well as the Hurricane Sessions CD and DVD. Made In New Orleans is available at retailers nationwide, preservationhall.com and is available for download at iTunes.
