Jazz Foundation of America presents live weekly concerts from the New Orleans Jazz Museum. You can see them every Wednesday on our Facebook and Youtube pages. You are now able to attend these performances at the Jazz Museum in New Orleans. These series are also carried on Off Beat Magazine and Louisiana Music Factory Facebook pages. For this week's performance the Jazz Foundation of America is proud to present:
November 23rd:
Pat "Mother Blues" Cohen (vocals),
Charles Elam (sax),
Shannon Hamilton (drums),
Anthony Hamilton (bass),
Keith Vinet (keyboards),
Since the age of six, Pat was surrounded by music. Her blues classroom was on the porch of her uncle’s house where one played the guitar and the other played the harmonica. Her first professional engagement came in the early 1980s when she was asked to perform at a local club where she was attending college. “I had three days to find three musicians and put together 30 songs,” she said. “They loved me- the rest is history because I’ve been singing the Blues ever since.” For years, Pat sang in New Orleans six nights a week, performing at a wide array of venues including the House of Blues, until Katrina destroyed her home. She relocated to North Carolina and has recently started touring with the Music Maker Blues Revue. During her performances, “Mother Blues” unfurls the tapestry of her life experiences to her audience in soulful words and music. She shares the mettle, pathos and ocean-deep compassion of the famous female blues singers she idolizes- women like Billie Holiday, Koko Taylor and Etta James. more info: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/blues-singer-seniors-socially-distanced-performances-987393/
