Josh Paxton studied piano with Ellis Marsalis, and the keyboard master’s style is a combination of New Orleans' deep piano traditions inflected with modern jazz twists, classical technique, and a funky rhythmic drive. He’s toured with a wide range of artists ranging from Bruce Hornsby to the Wild Magnolias, and currently can be found with a number of top bands, including chanteuse Debbie Davis, with Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes, and bouzouki maven Beth Patterson in the ZouKeys. He is an expert on James Booker, and a staple at WWOZ Piano Night.

This program is free and open to the public.
