The guitarist from the British soul-jazz band will be playing with a variety of local musicians. This week he has Jermal Watson on drums, Nigel Hall on keys, and Eric Vogel on bass.
Roberts is part of a new generation of musicians who treat the music of the Meters as a stepping stone to other funky and soulful styles. His group has been developing a following in New Orleans after some wonderful performances over the past few years.
The music on Wednesday nights at the Leaf will take a decidedly jazzier approach on December 4th when Roberts is joined by Khris Royal on sax and James Singleton on bass. Jermal Watson will return on drums.
December 11th is currently listed as Eddie Roberts of the New Master Sounds and Friends. On December 18th, special guest Ike Stubblefield will join him.
New Year’s Eve heads up: the New Mastersounds are headlining a big show at the Joy Theater.
