Average White Band at Tucson Jazz Festival at Fox Theater

About

Regarded as one of the top Soul, R & B, and Jazz-Funk groups, with multiple gold & platinum albums and three Grammy nominations, AVERAGE WHITE BAND comes to headline the Tucson Jazz Festival. Known for its diverse songwriting and unique approach to rhythm & blues, the six-piece band took the instrumental cues of US Jazz giants Adderley, Hancock, and Shorter and the soulful influences of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Al Green, and Stevie Wonder to create their own authentic R & B blend. With their the tongue-in-cheek name, this uncanny paradox performs their “essential grooves” from their newest release, Inside Out, as well as such AWB favorites as Walk On By, Pick Up The Pieces, and I’m The One.
