Fats Waller, Christian McBride, Bill Holman

Print More

Fats Waller is my favorite funny guy in jazz, he’s also one of the best
pianists ever and we celebrate his birthday tonight along with that of
the young bass virtuoso Christian McBride, who will bring his band
Inside Straight to the Discover Jazz Festival on June 8th. We also
celebrate the birthday of Big Band leader Bill Holman.
