Celebration of the Blues, Day 2
Two evenings at the comfortable Jackson Theater (Santa Rosa) will display multiple facets of blues legend Charlie Musselwhite, presented by the Healdsburg Jazz Festival on Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, June 1.
The shows will be a watershed in what's been an incredible year for the 70-year-old harp master. Charlie has recently weathered a slew of awards and recognitions, among them the Blues Album Grammy for his collaboration with Ben Harper, "Get Up!" He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2010.
The second night of our two-day Celebration of the Blues is called "Blues Meets Jazz and Jazz Meets Blues," when Joshua Redman enters the picture. The Berkeley-raised tenor saxophone virtuoso invites Charlie to sit in during Set 1, when the harp ace will get to work out his improvising chops alongside pianist Aaron Goldberg, bassist Joe Sanders, drummer Gregory Hutchinson and Joshua. Anyone interested in the debt jazz pays to the blues should not miss this show.
In the second set, Charlie returns the favor, inviting Joshua to take it down to the deep soul level in the Charlie Musselwhite Blues Band, featuring June Core on drums, Steve Froberg on bass and Matt Stubbs on guitar. Joshua Redman undoubtedly knows how to play the blues. Tonight he gets to prove it.
