The trendy, hip crowd at Coachella will get a taste of real jazz served up New Orleans-style when Preservation Hall Jazz Band hits the stage this Sunday, April 20.

The New Orleans-based band will be appearing among punk rock, hip hop & indie rock bands at California's Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band has been operating for generations as the house band at The Preservation Hall in New Orleans.

Bandleader Ben Jaffe says he is thrilled to be playing at such a unique event.

"I think it's not only amazing, but incredibly brave and a huge statement for an event like Coachella to have us appear," Jaffe told The Press-Enterprise.
