Trey McIntyre and PHJB first collaborated in 2008. After exploring the music scene and clubs of New Orleans, McIntyre selected Preservation Hall Jazz Band (PHJB) to provide the soundtrack for his new work (Ma Maison) and collaborated with PHJB to hand-pick the six song score.

In July 2005, Trey McIntyre Project burst onto the national dance scene as a summer touring company with its debut performance at The Vail International Dance Festival. Trey McIntyre Project’s “fresh and forward-thinking choreography” (Washington Post) was an immediate sensation with both critics and audiences alike.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe.

Many of the band’s charter members performed with the pioneers who invented jazz in the early twentieth century including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, and Bunk Johnson.
