Allen Toussaint performs at Joe's Pub in New York City on Sunday at noon; he'll play the room again next Sunday at the same time. After Toussaint's show last weekend at San Francisco's Herbst Theatre for SFJAZZ, Richard Scheinin of the San Jose Mercury News wrote, "At any given moment, Allen Toussaint summons a world of piano: rumba-flavored blues, barroom trills, sonata ripples. He can't help it ... It's at once funky, florid and fastidious, the music played by this legend of New Orleans rhythm and blues."
