I have been a long time Del Mccoury band fan, and when I first herd of this collaboration I was leary. Bluegrass and jazz are not two genres that normally go together; and that is what makes this so special. Not only does this work, but it flows naturally and never seems forced. All the musicians on this project are ultra talented and feed off each other very well. The music vascilates between the bluegrass and jazz so well you almost never notice it happens.
All the songs are very upbeat and pleasant. Del's voice with a full jazz and bluegrass band is great. The highlight of the album for me is the gospel song "I'll fly away". It is the bet rendition of this song I've herd in some time. Also of intrest is the remake of Del's song "50/50 chance", which is "jazzified". A very nice touch, on a very nice album.
I love the fact that the Del Mccoury band has only improved over the years (no small feat considering how long Del has been doing this), and are always willing to try new things and create one-of-a-kind music. A+ effort and outcome all the way, and if your a fan of either group you want to give this a spin.

The Del McCoury Bluegrass Band + The Preservation Hall Jazz Band = 100% Great American Hybrid Music!!!!!

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
First, I'd like to mention that I enjoyed reading the prior reviews, and I really liked what most the earlier reviewers stated. Being from Louisiana, I have been a long time fan of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, from New Orleans, Louisiana. Also, I have been a long time fan of the Del McCoury Bluegrass Band. I love Jazz & I love Bluegrass. This combination of one of the best Jazz bands in the world, along with one of the best bluegrass bands in the world, creates some Pure, Original, "Hybrid", Outstanding American Music at it's very best. "American Legacies" is a very fitting name for this combo of genres.
The songs are all outstanding, this is definitely Album oriented music. The songs include great Amercian Classics, including Jazz Standards, Country/Bluegrass Standards, and even a Gospel Song (I'll Fly Away). I really enjoyed their take on the Hank Williams Classic "Jambalya", it has always been a Louisiana Favorite.
If you liked the Deluxe Edition of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's Benefit Music Outreach Album CD, with various guest artists from various genres, including The Del McCoury Band, then you will most likely enjoy this great album CD & vice versa. Also, if you like the Del McCoury Band you will probably like the Charlie Daniels Bluegrass DVD: "Preachin', Prayin', Singin", which includes members of the Del McCoury Band.
This is a Great American Music Album CD, and I highly recommend it. Thanks very much!!!!

This will be short and sweet.....if you love music, listen to this CD. Read the other reviews for the details.
I saw the group on Letterman last night (7-19-11) play "I'll Fly Away" and knew I had to see them live.

Louisiana Jazz
This was a gift to my spouse and he really likes it.. It's the bouncy jazz of New Orleans and I found it hard to just sit still and listen. I wanted to jump up and dance to it.

Fun lovers of the Bluegrass sound
It's Del McCoury. I shouldn't need to say more. Del always delivers. If you are a looking for BlueGrass, Del McCoury should be one of the first names which comes to mind.
