Jazz Arts Group's Inside Track series - Chris Thomas King and The Floorwalkers March 5, 2011

Initially known for his audacious fusion of blues and hip-hop, Chris Thomas King reached a whole new audience starring in and scoring music for the Coen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, not only appearing on the award-winning soundtrack, but establishing himself as a serious dramatic actor as well. King has continued to act in and score motion pictures including the Oscar winning Ray. King has also written and recorded more than 150 songs that are in demand for license to motion pictures, documentaries and television programs. The new album, Sketches of Treme, is Chris Thomas King's first full-length studio album since the release of the Handy-nominated Rise, in 2006. The concert will feature these new songs as well as fan favorites including songs from the movies Ray and O Brother.

Columbus' own ambassadors of rock & soul The Floorwalkers open the show at 8 PM.
