The Preservation Hall Jazz Band made landmark strides earlier this year with the release of their new album That’s It!, the band’s first album of original compositions in its entire fifty-year history. For this video PHJB teamed up with Genero.tv, giving filmmakers the opportunity to create a music video for “That’s It!” The winner was young up-and-coming filmmaker Jo Roy, who brought extra energy and levity to the horn-filled track complete with black ties and break dancing.
That’s It! was produced by My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s Creative Director Ben Jaffe and recorded at The Preservation Hall. As these are all brand-new compositions, band members Ben Jaffe, Charlie Gabriel, Rickie Monieand Clint Maedgen wrote for the album and collaborated with Paul Williams, Dan Wilson and Chris Stapleton on several songs. The band will be playing across the US throughout the rest of 2013, catch them in a town near you soon.
