Description

 Jim Ptacek Artist's Proof "Preservation Hall" Giclee´ Print. Hand Signature, Hand Written Title and Hand Written A/P at bottom. 

In the 1950s, Preservation Hall was originally a small art gallery in the French Quarter. In 1961, Allan & Sandra Jaffe shifted the space to a music venue, and “Preservation Hall” was born. This venue had been a rare space in the South where racially integrated bands and audiences shared music together during the tumultuous Jim Crow era.  Its location in an ignored district, due to its reputation of brothels and prostitution, allowed a melting pot of African, Caribbean and European traditions blended together to create that New Orleans jazz sound. Since its opening day, June 10, 1961, more than two million people have walked through that gate, including presidents, prime ministers, movie stars and rock idols.
