About The Event
Booker & Beyond: The Professor Tim Piano Series
Every Thursday night at the historic Maple Leaf Bar in New Orleans, the Booker & Beyond Piano Series celebrates the rich piano traditions of the Crescent City. Made possible through a generous bequest from Tim Allspach, known as "Professor Tim"—an educator, musician, and beloved fixture at the Maple Leaf Bar—the series honors the legendary James Carroll Booker, the piano genius whose virtuosic style blended jazz, classical, blues, and gospel.

David Torkanowsky is one of New Orleans' premier contemporary jazz pianists, composers, and arrangers, born in 1956 to classical conductor Werner Torkanowsky and flamenco artist Theresa Torkanowsky.
