Join us tonight as we pay tribute to one of New Orleans' most influential and beloved founding fathers of American Music on his Birthday:
Battiste's notable achievements as a producer and arranger for studio, film and television include Sam Cooke's "You Send Me" and "A Change Is Gonna Come," Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe," Lee Dorsey's "Ya Ya," and introducing audiences to Mac "Dr. John" Rebbenack, earning 6 Gold Records throughout his career. Among other firsts as a recording industry pioneer, Battiste notably launched the first African-American musician-owned record label, All For One (AFO Records), in 1961, which released music by his contemporary luminaries such as Ellis Marsalis and more.
One of Battiste's distinct mentees is pianist and educator Jesse McBride, a senior professor at Tulane University's Jazz Studies department and current bandleader for Next Generation, a band started by Harold Battiste as an ongoing practice of bringing rising young musicians into the fold and often compared to Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
Next Generation tonight features:
Jesse McBride - piano
John Michael Bradford - trumpet
Rex Gregory - saxophones
Jason Stewart - bass
Alexey Marti - percussion
Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm
Doors at 7:00pm & 9:30pm
