On Stage Henry Butler, Pianist and Composer

On Stage celebrates the music of piano virtuoso Henry Butler by playing
recordings from his many performances in the Phyllis A. Greer
Performance Studio.

Butler, who died on July 2, 2018, was beloved at KUVO. We were
privileged to be a radio refuge of sorts for the New Orleans resident
who relocated to Colorado after Hurricane Katrina. In February 2006, he
performed in trio format with bassist Ken Walker and drummer Rudy
Royston. Later that year, he performed solo on a Bösendorfer piano. In
2007, KUVO hosted another solo piano performance (The man needed to
play! Who are we to say no?!), and later that year, he put together “The
KUVO Big Room All-Stars, a quintet with Walker, Paul Bollenback on
guitar, Ricky Woodard on tenor sax and Paul Romaine on drums.
