Booker T. Jones

Description

One of the godfathers and architects of soul music, organist Booker T. Jones stands as a true American musical icon. As keyboardist for the Stax Records house band, Jones played on and helped arrange countless seminal recordings of legends like Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Albert King and others. He also had enormous success with his own band, Booker T. and the MG's, scoring 60's soul-funk hits like the classics ''Green Onions'' and ''Time Is Tight.'' Jones has enjoyed a career resurgence in the last few years, with a new generation of stars like Gary Clark Jr., My Morning Jacket's Jim James and others lining up to collaborate with the soul music hero. "Booker T. Jones is one of the legends of soul music." The New Yorker Tickets: $59, $55, $45
