> For jazz enthusiasts, December often brings opportunities to hear

> the holiday season. This was certainly the case for the 950 devoted  
> listeners who had the pleasure of experiencing the Preservation Hall  
> Jazz Band at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on the  
> campus of the University of Pennsylvania, where the famed exponent  
> of classic New Orleans jazz performed its Creole Christmas concert.  
> This band of eight represents the best of New Orleans traditional  
> jazz players. And they did not disappoint this passionate, sold-out  
> audience that was treated to a range of emotions, from pure joy to  
> awe, as these gifted musicians ranging in age from 38 to 78 took  
> command of the stage to demonstrate how Christmas jazz is done in  
> New Orleans.
