The AQ brings you a very special event. Southern-born pianist, composer and vocalist Mose Allison is considered "The William Faulkner of Jazz." Melding Delta blues with boogie woogie and bebop on the piano, laid-back vocal stylings and often satirical, always heartfelt, lyrics, Mose is in a category all his own. His devoted musician fans range from Pete Townshend to Van Morrison to Tom Waits. His recording career began in 1956 on the Prestige label, and he has continued to record outstanding work on major labels ever since. Mose is one of the most engaging performers in jazz.
