Professor Cunningham & His Old School

Professor Cunningham & His Old School -- New York Jazz Meets New Orleans

Take a growling horn section, a grooving and soulful rhythm section and a woodwind virtuoso-vocalist frontman, then add the soul of a New Orleans party, and you've got Professor Cunningham and His Old School. This New York-based 8-piece piece band specializes in a swinging repertoire that's deeply steeped in the New Orleans tradition. Watch them channel such early jazz and R&B icons as Sidney Bechet, Fats Waller and Fats Domino when they swing onto the stage at B.B. King Blues Club.
