About the Program
If you're a fan of NPR's A Jazz Piano Christmas, don't miss this spectacular tribute to the music of New Orleans featuring separate performances by three "Crescent City" legends. Allen Toussaint--a pianist, singer, composer, producer, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee--has collaborated with everyone from The Rolling Stones to Bonnie Raitt, and his recent collaboration with Elvis Costello, The River in Reverse, garnered numerous accolades. Pianist, singer, and composer Jon Cleary's music blends old-school soul with New Orleans's rich heritage, and he has lent his talents to recordings by B.B. King, Ryan Adams, and others. Meanwhile, New Orleans–born Henry Butler, an eight-time Blues Award nominee, infuses his classically trained piano wizardry with a rich amalgam of jazz, Caribbean, classical, pop, R&B, and blues--a mix as eclectic as his birthplace.All events and artists subject to change without prior notice.
