THE SONGBIRD & THE PIGEON
Jay Collins and his band mix up blues, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and funky New Orleans styles into a modern patchwork of root-bound sound. Jay is also known for his recent work with the Gregg Allman Band, the Levon Helm Band, The Allman Brothers Band, James Hunter, and many others. This fall, he'll play saxophone for Donald Fagen's "Dukes of September", featuring Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs.
