WWOZ to Broadcast Allen Toussaint Tribute

Tomorrow’s tribute to the late Allen Toussaint at the Orpheum Theatre will be broadcast live on WWOZ. The program will begin at 11am CT on Friday, November 20. Fans that are unable to listen via 90.7FM in the New Orleans area will be able to tune in at wwoz.org.

As previously reported, a musical tribute to the legendary songwriter, producer and performer–organized by Jazz Fest producer Quint Davis and others–will take place from 11am to 1pm tomorrow. The tribute will follow a public visitation, which is slated for 8am to 10:45am at the same venue.

In lieu of flowers, the Toussaint Family would like donations to be sent to New Orleans Artists Against Hunger & Homelessness, a nonprofit that Toussaint founded with Aaron Neville in 1985.
