When the flood waters receded following Hurricane Katrina’s direct hit on New Orleans, jazz fans around the world breathed a sigh of relief to hear that Preservation Hall, home of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, remained intact. Within a year, the Hall was up and running, and once again, jazz filled the air from its permanent site on Saint Peter Street in the historic French Quarter.
In an effort to keep the music going, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band recently invited an eclectic (兼收并蓄的) group of folk, country, pop, rock and blues artists to collaborate on "Preservation—An Album to Benefit Preservation Hall and the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program."
The traditional jazz sound that made New Orleans famous dates back more than a century. It’s a sound that combined ragtime (雷格泰姆音乐), blues and brass band marches, and as it spread north to Chicago and New York, became the foundation for swing, rhythm-and-blues, and early rock and roll.
Enter the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, performing with various lineups since the opening of Preservation Hall in 1961. While certainly not known for its luxurious accommodations—there’s no running water, no air conditioning, and seating for less than ten—the Hall is still one of the city’s top tourist destinations.
The eight-piece band, comprised of members young and old, spends much of the year away from its landmark place. On May 2, they will appear in the Preservation Hall—Star Revue (时事讽刺剧) at the 41st Annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. [br] The members of the eight-piece band are______.
选项
A、all old people
B、all young people
C、varied in age
D、varied in gender
答案
C
解析
根据文章最后一段第一句前半句可知,乐团里的人年龄不同,老少皆有。故C)“年龄不同”为正确答案。
