About this product
A national symbol of the New Orleans jazz tradition, clarinetist George Lewis started his professional career in 1917, playing in trombonist Kid Ory's legendary band. He remained a local fixture in the New Orleans French Quarter, leading his band in the famed Bourbon Street jazz clubs. Lewis finally toured the states in the early 1950's, achieving national recognition, and repeatedly toured Europe and Japan in the 1960's. Recorded in October of 1953, Ragtime Band Vol. 1 ranks as one of the greatest sessions of straight up New Orleans style jazz ever recorded.

Everything Will Change is the new live album by indie-pop legends The Postal Service. The album documents The Postal Service's performance at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA during their 2013 reunion tour. (The same show was featured in the 2014 feature-length documentary concert film of the same title.) This is the first time the show has been released on CD and vinyl, and the album features InchNever Enough Time,Inch which did not appear in the original video . A collaboration between Benjamin Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie) and Jimmy Tamborello (from Dntel), with Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, The Postal Service released Give Up, their one and only album, in 2003. That record went on to sell over a million copies and most of the band's fans never had the chance to see them perform live. In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of Give Up, the band reunited to tour the world. Everything Will Change captures one of the nights when everything did change.
