Saxophonist Sanborn was accompanied by drummer Gene Lake (standing - who hands down gave the best drum solo seen in years). TOP is still held down by founding members Stephen "The Funky Doctor" Kupka on baritone sax and Emilio Castillo on alto sax. They're coming to Charlotte's Neighborhood Theatre on Sat., April 18.

Mardi Gras Mambo @ The Belk Theatre

A well oiled crowd attended the Mardi Gras Mambo concert at Charlotte's Belk Theatre. The legendary Mac Rebenack a.k.a. Dr. John showed he still had the goods with an opening set that had him at the keys and guitar. Aaron Neville came out to join him on a number before he and the rest of The Neville Brothers came out to tear the house down.
