Charles Neville is best known as one of the legendary Neville Brothers, in whose recordings Charles' signature sax sound helps to insure his legacy as one of New Orleans' most important musical sons. In addition to his decades with the Neville Brothers, Charles has performed with other world-class artists including Johnny Ace, Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Big Maybelle, James Brown, B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnny Taylor, Clarence Carter, O.V. Wright and Ray Charles. Not ignoring his hometown, he has also played saxophone behind Allen Toussaint, James Booker, Ernie K-Doe and Huey "Piano" Smith. Tonight's show will feature some outstanding younger Nevilles and other musicians under the tutelage of -- and jamming with -- one of the most easily recognizable voices to ever come from the Big Easy.
