If you want authentic jazz in a realistic setting, Preservation Jazz Hall is not to be missed. This was by far the best jazz I have seen in a very long time. You must line up on a first-come, first-served basis. We waited for over an hour in order to get in, and the hall can barely fit 100 or... More

Order tickets in advance. Pay extra to sit. In adavance. On the net. There are a limited number of seats; otherwise you must stand. Stand in line to get in (for an hour or more), stand to see and hear the music. There are three sets per night. We saw a great 45 minute jazz set. Very accomplished musicians, each... More

There's nothing else to add. The title says it all. Show up about 45 minutes early to make sure you get in, and have a hurricane from the bar next door while you wait. Then pile inside and enjoy some great, great jazz.

My friend and I made it to the last concert of the night (they have daily shows at 6, 8, 10pm). The band playing was simply amazing, definitely one of the highlights f our four day stay!

The atmosphere was very informal and the music was fantastic with the best local musicians.They palyed all the famous jazz and dixieland tunes. It was great fun

Small, noisy, great music and a real jazz experience. Went to 9.15 show and got last seats but queued 30 mins early to get them. Those behind us had to stand

Preservation Hall Jazz Band All Starts are wonderful. Small venue very close to musicians. Great value for your money. Only wish sets were longer but for price if was great value.

We were there at an off time, so we were one of the last to get in after only a 20 minute wait. The hall has a unique appearance. The music was very enjoyable so that even though we stood, the time went by quickly.

Fantastic experience, real straight-from-the-heart New Orleans Jazz. Intimate environment. Three 45-minute sessions a night, queue to get in. No drinks, no eats, just the most amazing music. Not to be missed! If you do one thing while you're in New Orleans, make it this!
