Synopsis

New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint, in a career spanning 60 years, has made an indelible mark on R&B, soul, blues and funk music through his work as a producer, songwriter, arranger and solo artist. Toussaint spent the last year recording the politically charged "River in Reverse" with Elvis Costello and now joins Steppenwolf's Traffic series for a very special evening, performing songs acclaimed for their richness, complexity and depth.
