On St. Peter street, in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, stands Preservation Hall, an institution unique in American cultural and musical life. In a historic building, the pioneers of traditonal jazz have played their music nearly every night since the 1960s. William Carter tells the story of the hall itself, the personalities who ran it and, above all, the music and musicians of New Orleans.

Part 1 The preserved: those rags and them blues; sunburst of the soul; that was a wonderful life; those marvellous dance halls. Part 2 The preservers: Mr Larry's art store; Kid Thomas's boogie; the enduring Louis Nelson; smitten with kaleidoscopic variegation; a world you couldn't expect; play with pride; each one is right; happy inside. Part 3 The preserving: hallelujahs and humbugs; before anything else; those great old guys from New Orleans; a night on tour; tales of Emma; the lineage; report from New Orleans. Postscript - on the road with Preservation Hall.
