NJW Presents Sory Diabate
Please join us Friday, March 17 for a very special performance by African balafon master Sory Diabate. He'll be joined by an all-star band consisting of Jeff Coffin, Roy "Futureman" Wooten, Jordan Perlson, David Rodgers, David Williford, and Matt Wigton.
Sory Diabate has travelled and performed internationally with musical legends, Grammy winners, and musicians from many cultures of music from around the globe. His music is virtuosic, rooted, soulful, and most decidedly African.

Sory is one of the most amazing musicians I have had the opportunity, and honor, to play with. Hes what we call a special cat! His spirit, passion, and love of making music positively affects everyone in the room and I hope the whole world can experience his brilliance!
