Jazz Master Ahmad Jamal at Manship

Thursday, the Arts Council of Baton Rouge and River City Jazz Coalition’s River City Jazz Masters series continues with virtuoso jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal. Noted for his thundering crescendos and fluid arpeggios, his playing is so percussive that his instrument sometimes requires tuning between sets. Don’t miss the man who Miles Davis cites among his chief influences when he hits the Manship stage. 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Tickets are available at manshiptheatre.org.
