Pete Seeger/Tao Seeger/Preservation Hall Jazz Band, 4/24/09

On Friday, April 24, 2009 New Orleans' Preservation Hall Jazz Band was joined by legendary American singer/songwriter Pete Seeger, his grandson Tao, and their band for a very special recording session. Recorded a week before Pete's 90th birthday celebration, this video shows a man who is still moved by the power of song.
"In addition to being America's best-loved folk singer and an untiring environmentalist, Pete Seeger is a national treasure. He has been at the forefront of the labor movement, the struggle for Civil Rights, the peace and anti-war movements, and the fight for a clean world. He has been a beacon of hope for millions of people all over the world..." (from the Pete Seeger appreciation page - www.peteseeger.net)
Since opening its doors to the public in 1961, it has been the mission of Preservation Hall to showcase the national treasures of traditional New Orleans jazz music. Forty-eight years later, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band still represents the best opportunity for music fans the world over to experience the planet's happiest music. These unforgettable, multi-generational players proudly carry on the musical traditions passed forward from the most prolific jazz heritage on earth. www.preservationhall.com
