Imagine having pianist-singer Jon Cleary playing his brand of bluesy tunes for you in your living room, explaining what he is performing and putting on an entertaining show.
Originally from England, Cleary has been an important part of the New Orleans jazz scene for 35 years, developing his own style on the piano while inspired by the likes of Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, Fats Domino, Dr. John, and James Booker.
On this informal house concert, Jon Cleary is relaxed and spontaneous while giving listeners a strong dose of his New Orleans music which is equal parts r&b, jazz, blues, boogie-woogie and funk, all of it performed soulfully and with a smile.
