Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis: Two Men With the Blues February 9, 2009

Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, stand on common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance will stir the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that is sure to be equal parts down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy. Featured with them are Walter Blanding, Dan Nimmer, Carlos Henriquez, Ali Jackson and Mickey Rapheal, with a special guest appearance by Norah Jones.
