THIS EVENT WILL BE RESCHEDULED.  CHECK BACK FOR NEW DATE.

JazzArts Charlotte’s virtual live music series is excited to welcome back Charlotte-native multi-instrumentalist Luther S. Allison.

Currently an instructor at the Calhoun School in Manhattan’s Upper West Side, you might find Luther Allison at your favorite NY jazz venue, in a front porch gig, or as sideman on two of Michael Dease’s most recent CDs.  Luther not only hails from Charlotte, he started his jazz training right here at JazzArts Charlotte.

This evenings music will be studded with some originals, plus jazz standards arranged by Memphis pianists such as Donald Brown, Mulgrew Miller and Phineas Newborn.  Enjoy the jazz keys rooted in tradition with a flare of the new.

The band includes:

Luther Allison, piano
Malcolm Charles, drums
Markus Howell, alto saxophone
Butler Knowles, bass
