Performing alongside famed vocalists like Keb’ Mo, Carmen Bradford, Bobby Rush, and Bettye LaVette, the album went on to win the Grammy Award for “Best Large Jazz Ensemble.”

The shows will take place on Thursday, March 20, and Friday, March 21, both shows starting at 7 p.m. with full dinner service available.
