Ain’t Misbehavin: The Wit & Swing of Fats Waller

Part piano genius, part stand-up comedian, part irresistible entertainer – Fats Waller was unlike anyone who came before him or after, and his music remains some of the most purely fun ever committed to recording.
Featuring a fabulous guest vocalist, the Gulf Coast Jazz Collective celebrates Thomas “Fats” Waller’s enduring catalog with a smile-inducing evening of rollicking piano, big personality, and the kind of pure joy that reminds you why you fell in love with live music in the first place.
Come ready to laugh, tap your feet, and leave grinning!
