Jimmy Buffett performed last night at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s 6th Annual Spring Gala. The show also included peformances by the Wynton Marsalis Septet, Lenny Kravitz and Derek Trucks.
A report from LIPH: It was just Jimmy, Mac McAnally, Ralph MacDonald and Robert Greenidge. Mac, Ralph and Robert were all dressed very conservatively in dark suits and ties. Jimmy wore a tropical shirt, jeans and loafers. He spoke for a couple of minutes before the first song, then kicked his loafers off and performed barefoot.
Jimmy played two songs:
1. Fool’s Paradise (a Mose Allison song)
2. Creola (America needs New Orleans, it has to be there. So this is for Ed.)
The whole show with 5 performers lasted around 90 minutes.
