Steve Miller: T-Bone Walker
A Bridge From Blues to Jazz
Description
Renowned blues-rock guitarist, singer/songwriter, and lifelong jazz fan, Steve Miller returns to Jazz at Lincoln Center for a no-holds-barred look at T-Bone Walker and the solo electric guitar of Texas blues. Having learned his first chords at age five from his godfather Les Paul, how to play lead guitar from T-Bone Walker at age nine, and then working with the best bluesmen in Chicago – Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, and Paul Butterfield – Miller has incorporated his affinity for the blues into all of his major recordings. Backed by an all-star jazz quintet, his own iconic guitar playing and vocals, and a few unannounced surprises, Miller has chosen music that takes audiences across the bridge from blues to jazz.
Free pre-concert discussion nightly, 7pm.
