Don't miss jazz talent Ptah Williams in the Jack Buck Grille
 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. He is now a master at improvisation and timing. His style is unpredictable, and he takes twists and turns that leave spectators on the edge of their seats.
Ptah's jazz style is reminiscent of Charlie Bird and Thelonius Monk. He has been called the Winton Marcellous of the keyboards.
Ptah earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Webster University. He has performed solo and with internationally renowned artists throughout Europe and the United States, such as famed sax player Lou Donaldson. Over the past couple of decades, Williams has worked in a variety of different settings on the local jazz scene, from the jazz/fusion experience to his current focus on solo piano performances.
Throughout October the M.A.C. will combine food and drink specials with a live performance to create an ideal evening. M.A.C. Jazz Nights are offered from 7 to 10 p.m. Call 314-539-4417 for reservations. Look to future Buffets for more information about future performers.
