Celebrate the musical legacies of New Orleans piano legends James Booker and Professor Longhair in a special concert featuring John “Papa” Gros, honoring Professor Longhair’s birthday. Inspired by their innovative blend of classical piano, blues, Caribbean rhythms, and traditional jazz, Gros carries their influence forward with a distinctive sound rooted in rock, funk, R&B, and New Orleans flair. Join us for a one-night-only performance celebrating the city’s rich musical heritage through improvisation, rhythm, and soul.
