Friday, April 24: Dirty Dozen Brass Band feat. Booker T. with Hill Country Revue
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band represents an innovative blend of traditional New Orleans sounds and modern jazz sensibilities. The ensemble has recorded with artists from Dizzy Gillespie to Elvis Costello and reinterpreted the hymns and parade songs of the Crescent City’s second-line bands. Hammond B3 organ alchemist Booker T Jones is one America's most prolific, distinguished and instantly recognizable musical forces, recently collaborating on his new album with The Drive By Truckers and Neil Young.
This is the 4th Annual Backbeat Jazzfest Series presented by The Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living, WWOZ 90.7FM and Whole Foods Market. This is a smoke-free event. |
