Don't miss jazz talent Ptah Williams
St. Louis has always been a jazz hotspot, and lately the M.A.C. has been a hub in the city's jazz scene. This Friday, Oct. 13, one of the city's most prominent jazz musicians, Ptah J. Williams, is heading to the M.A.C. Ptah has been voted the best jazz musician by the the Riverfront Times five times and is one of the most talented jazz and classical pianists in the area. When Ptah plays, he owns the keyboard. Classically trained, Ptah has been fine tuning his ear for jazz since he was 16.
