Description
Multi-Grammy nominated pianist/composer Allen Toussaint has written and arranged music for a dizzying array of artists, including fellow New Orleans mainstays like Dr. John, the Meters and Lee Dorsey, as well as Etta James, Little Feat, The Band, and most recently Elvis Costello. His earliest solo recordings helped to launch instrumental music into the popular limelight. Toussaint has more recently earned induction into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, a remarkable achievement for a musician who’s always stayed true to his roots in R&B and jazz. This solo appearance will undoubtedly highlight a few gems from his newest release The Bright Mississippi (Nonesuch, 2009), which has been recognized as one of DownBeat’s “Best CDs of the 2000s.”
