JAZZ/TAKE ON PRINCE

Featuring Prince's drummer David "Fingers" Haynes and bassist François Moutin. They'll do a JAZZ/TAKE on iconic Prince songs, curated by Mayte Garcia, his former spouse, who’ll do an opening speech. Garcia, a dancer, singer, and author, toured with Prince's New Power Generation and was the inspiration behind "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World."
