CC Booker III featuring Will Scruggs Sunday, April 11th, 2010 at Marsh Woodwinds
CC Booker III, a collaborative project between musicians from NYC and Atlanta, is a Hammond B3 driven SoulJazz tribute to Ray Charles, King Curtis, and Booker T and the MG’s. Their new full-length CD, CC Booker III feat. Will Scruggs, is slated to be released in July 2010, but pre-release copies will be available at this special show at Marsh Woodwinds. Fronting the band is Raleigh native Will Scruggs, a product of the Enloe Magnet Arts Program. He is an accomplished saxophonist, vocalist, and band leader who, at the age of 29, has already shared the stage with Dave Brubeck, recorded commercially with Cee-Lo, and toured and recorded with 8-time Grammy winner Natalie Cole. Keepin’ it green, CC Booker III tours in a diesel Ford van that runs on 100% recycled vegetable oil….”swingin’ hard and saving the planet.”
