Thomas 'Fats' Waller's contribution to jazz was three-fold: he was the most ingenious of all stride pianists, he was an exceptional composer, responsible for all-time standards like 'Honeysuckle Rose' and he was an astoundingly gifted entertainer, with a fantastic voice and an unrelenting sense of humor. Tonight in The Allen Room, veteran stridemasters Dick Hyman, Judy Carmichael and Marcus Roberts will reinterpret the Fats Waller Songbook.
