Mr B's Piano Celebration April 10, 2011

Once a year, Mark "Mr. B" Braun, Ann Arbor's own wizard of blues and boogie piano music, comes together with other top piano players from around southeastern Michigan and beyond. Call it a piano summit, or perhaps a meeting of the minds! Audiences in southeastern Michigan tend to think of Mr. B as a local hero, but in fact he's well known among fans and practitioners of blues and jazz piano music all over the country and around the world. In the past, Mr. B's Piano Celebration concerts have brought great sets by otherwise hard-to-find performers from New Orleans, New York, and Europe, and they're by no means confined to boogie and blues.
