South Hudson Music Project and KNKX Present: Piano Starts HereFeaturing the music of Spencer Williams/Clarence Williams
Spencer Williams was an American jazz and popular music composer, pianist, and singer from Louisiana. He is best known for his hit songs “Basin Street Blues”, “I Ain’t Got Nobody”, “Royal Garden Blues”, “I’ve Found a New Baby”, “Everybody Loves My Baby”, “Tishomingo Blues”, and many others. Clarence Williams was a piano player, composer, bandleader, singer and producer who was very influential in the world of popular music, especially jazz and blues, starting in the 1920’s and continuing through the mid-20th century. They are not related, however, they did both grow up in Louisiana and their paths did cross on several occasions.
The Piano Starts Here series highlights the work of some of the most prolific and talented composers and pianists to have ever tackled the instrument. Each of the performances brings together Seattle’s finest pianists to perform the works of the artist selected for that evening on the Royal Room’s Steinway B grand piano. This series is sponsored by KNKX and the South Hudson Music Project.
