Summer for the City: Booker T. Jones Brings Memphis to Manhattan

Join Stax living legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree Booker T. Jones for a conversation with Memphis-based multimedia journalist, DJ and on-air personality Jared “Jay B.” Boyd as they kick off an evening of Southern soul!

Founded in 2000, Stax Music Academy is an academic arts education not-for-profit that channels the success and tradition of Stax Records, the iconic Tennessean recording label that first presented the songs of Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, and Booker T. and the M.G.’s to the world. This pre-show talk at the Atrium will be followed by a Social Dance night on The Dance Floor: The Stax Academy Rhythm Section with a special appearance by Booker T. himself.
