(Father A I) Lewis, Jeannette Kim ball and a walking historical reference,
Preston Jackson, 80. None o f the other members o f the swinging New O r
leans jazz band is under 60. Preston Jackson talks about how he got started.
“ I was born in New Orleans and at an early age we moved to Chicago. 1
first took up the piano and never paid that much attention to it. One day I
came home and found a green bag on my bed. It was a little trombone and
my mother had arranged for me to take lessons under Roy Palmer, a great
trombonist. I jus, stuck with it and later played with Louis Armstrong for
two years.'*

Wha, was the genius o f Louis Armstrong? " H e was an original. He was
the first one who recorded scatting. That happened because he forgo, the
words to a song he was singing. That started that kind o f singing. I was
lucky enough to play at Armstrong’s wedding reception.”
The music that M r. Jackson makes is among the most popular in Amer
ica. " T h e music became something new. The Black boys would take the
banjo and drums and made it our instruments. For many years they tried
to overlook Louis Armstrong but the people caught on to it. We had a lot o f
good dancers and singers and the music became ours.”

M r. Jackson is 80 years old but has the stamina o f a 30-year-old. What
keeps him smoking? “ I don’t drink because my stomach can’, take it. One
night I went out and tried to outdrink a friend o f mine. I woke up on the
floor the next day. 1 decided to stop after that.”
The Preservation H all Jazz Band does a smooth concert. They never pre
pare a performance. They just play it by ear. The promoter, Vicky at Celeb
rity Attractions, told me, "These gentlemen are great. They just ge, o ff the
bus and onto the stage.”
