Ivan Neville will bring his Piano Sessions project back to New York City’s Blue Note Jazz Club on February 21 and 22. These shows are part of the club’s Mardi Gras celebration (with the full calendar and tickets available here). In anticipation, today we premiere a video from the debut of his Piano Sessions at Blue Note last March.

Neville tells Relix,  “The song in the video is a my version of a classic New Orleans song originally done by the legendary Professor Longhair titled “Mardi Gras in New Orleans” or “Go to The Mardi Gras”. My take on it is actually based on Gerald Tillman’s (an unsung New Orleans musical legend & teacher of mine) rearrangement of this beloved MardiGras anthem! This song, some of my original works, along with other New Orleans classics & various covers will be the songbook for my upcoming Piano Sessions shows at Blue Note Jazz Club in New York on February 21 & 22!!!! Can’t wait to see yall there!!!”
