We've been digging in the archives for a series of live concerts between 1993-2001 in front of a million people annually on the National Mall from the Washington Monument to the White House fence and millions more on public radio nationwide.

First, from New Orleans, it’s the Original Tuxedo Brass Band, with pianist Henry Butler.
