John & Gerald Clayton return to the stage for Holiday Classics, and plenty of smiles!
The Clayton’s are back! John and Gerald Clayton return to Bacchus for their annual holiday tradition: two nights of live jazz on the piano and bass in the most intimate setting — complete with Dinner and Wine Pairings (if that’s your fancy — if not, there’s beer, soda or water). | $175+ tax
John Clayton is one of the great bassists. He’s a Grammy-winning composer and arranger, a Count Basie Orchestra alum, co-leader of the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, and the man behind Whitney Houston’s legendary Super Bowl national anthem arrangement. His son, Gerald is a multiple Grammy-nominated pianist who has toured and recorded with Charles Lloyd, Diana Krall, Roy Hargrove, and John Scofield. He has become one of the most distinctive voices in jazz piano today. Two generations of jazz royalty, one bass, one piano, and a whole lot of holiday spirit.
