There's a powerfully resonant, special quality to the lifelong oeuvre of a jazz master, such as in the inimitable example of bassist Ron Carter. In the 1960s, integral to the rhythm sections of Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, his artistry may have seemed shadowed by the towering giants of the music that was to give voice to the Great Migration, the most significant movement of peoples in U.S. history.

Z2 Entertainment is proud to present The Wailers with Special Guests at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, January 7th, 2016. Tickets are on sale now for $25 advanced or $27.50 day of show.

Fats Domino's studio recordings inspired everyone from reggae legend Bob Marley to The Beatles, whose 'Lady Madonna' was as a direct homage to the early rock pioneer. But while his songs were often imitated, Fats's live performances were absolutely untouchable, a rollicking ride through boogie jump classics like 'Let The Four Winds Blow' and 'My Girl Josephine' on to his all-time classic hits such as the libidinous 'Blueberry Hill,' 'Ain't That A Shame,' 'Walking To New Orleans' and many more. On stage, Fats attacked his piano from every which way as sweat poured from his brow, all the while keeping that magnificent, signature smile front and center, making everything he did look as effortless as a pleasant Sunday stroll.
