WWOZ Piano Night Recap (PHOTOS) Inside the House of Blues on Monday night, the blue spotlight auras encircled a myriad of pianists who took the stage front and center while their accompaniment grooved behind them. Piano Night is an annual event that highlights talented keyboardists of all varieties and gives enthusiasts a chance to witness a living room playalong built to a larger scale. Elite 88: WWOZ Piano Night Returns with Liz McComb, Ike Stubblefield The purists who annually get their hackles up about how the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival headliners seem to have fewer and fewer ties to the musical tradition the festival was originally designed to showcase might be sated if only the branding were updated. But based on its persistent popularity, it seems unlikely that the organizers will stop drawing more from the “Heritage” side as opposed to the “Jazz.” WWOZ’s annual Piano Night, however, faces no such controversy either in name or scope. Today: Louisiana Turns 200, and Music for Good Causes On this day in Louisiana history, the Pelican State became the 18th addition to the fledgling United States (1812).

Elsewhere, a pair of giant musical fundraisers ensure the JazzFest party keeps going.
