Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen

THE ANVIL

After thirty-five years of being at the forefront of the ever-evolving musical landscape of New Orleans, Grammy Award-winner Jon Cleary decided to bring that sound back home. He assembled his Absolute Monster Gentlemen in his home studio, drew up a setlist of some of his most beloved songs and rolled tape.

Long time Monster Gentlemen Cornell Williams and A.J. Hall anchor the band on bass and drums, respectively. They are joined by Nigel Hall (Lettuce) on Hammond organ, Pedro Segundo (Ronnie Scott’s All Stars) on percussion, Xavier Lynn (MonoNeon, Ledisi) on guitar, and an all-star horn section of Aaron Narcisse (Delfeayo Marsalis & the Uptown Jazz Orchestra), Charlie Halloran (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Preservation Hall All Stars), and Jason Mingledorff (Galactic).

To this day, he and his band continue to play to crowds that gather from around the world, playing their take on The Big Easy's funk and R&B.
