Joining them for this special evening is acclaimed pianist Andrew Oliver, celebrated for his energetic and authentic interpretations of early jazz piano. Influenced by legendary musicians including Jelly Roll Morton, James P. Johnson, and Earl Hines, Oliver's dynamic playing captures the infectious rhythms and spirit that helped bring jazz to the forefront of American popular music.
