Our Take

"Ah, mon dieu! The French Preservation New Orleans Jazz Band have truly brought the spirit of the Big Easy across the pond with their latest album 'Alive And Kicking In Europe'. This lively record is a veritable gumbo of traditional New Orleans jazz with a French twist - think beignets dipped in escargot butter.

From the moment the first trumpet blares, you'll find yourself transported to the bustling streets of New Orleans, where the music flows as freely as the bourbon. The band's energy is infectious, with each member clearly having a blast as they jam together in perfect harmony.

Tracks like 'French Quarter Funk' and 'Euro Swingin' make you want to grab a cocktail and hit the dance floor, while 'Creole Serenade' slows things down to let the beauty of the music really sink in. The band's tight musicianship and infectious energy make every track a joy to listen to.

Overall, the French Preservation New Orleans Jazz Band's 'Alive And Kicking In Europe' is a rollicking good time that will have you tapping your toes and longing for a Mardi Gras parade. So grab your beret and laissez les bon temps rouler with this fantastic album!"
