You are invited to Paisley Park’s next edition of NPG Jazz, L.P. Music with Eric Leeds and Paul Peterson – featuring Stokley Williams ("Mint Condition") and Billy Carrothers. The live music series kicked off in December and features local jazz artists in the NPG Music Club. The February edition featured Midnight Love to a sold out crowd.
Out of the depths of the Minneapolis funk/jazz scene raises a new sound, a new idea. L.P. Music, aka Leeds-Peterson Music features Grammy Award Winning saxophonist Eric Leeds, and multi-instrumentalist St. Paul Peterson. L.P. Music blends the funk and jazz roots of Leeds and Peterson and allows these true musicians a platform to express themselves. Playing with L.P. Music for NPG Jazz will be Billy Carrothers on the keyboard, who played with the original back-up band for The Family behind Eric and Paul in 1985. Stokley Williams, who you may know from “Mint Condition”, will be playing the drums—a special treat for those who might be used to him playing other instruments.
About "NPG Jazz"
Jazz as an original American artform, has undeniably influenced popular music. Prince, like jazz, is known for masterful instrumentation, experimental style, and ability to encompass multiple genres. Jazz is as uniquely authentic as Prince and we are proud to bring them together here at Paisley Park for NPG Jazz.
A Note About NPG Jazz Seating
NPG Jazz is elevating the lounge atmosphere in the NPG Music Club. To foster an intimate environment, guests have the option to select from four different ticketing options. Keep in mind, that even though a lounge or bistro table can seat up to a certain number of guests, you may choose how many people occupy that space. Use the floor plan and the named sections to identify which area you would like to reserve.
Lounge Seating: Reserve an entire couch that can seat up to six people.
Bistro Tables: Our bistro tables are available in two sizes, seating up to four or six.
Premium General Admission: Our Premium General Admission seating is located near the stage in padded chairs with bar access. These seats are available on a first come first served basis and will not be reserved throughout the evening.
Standard General Admission: Standard General Admission features café style seating, located in the rear of the venue. These seats are available on a first come first served basis and will not be reserved throughout the evening.
For this event, we will require proof of a full series of Covid-19 vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken in the prior 72 hours. Masks also must be worn by all staff and attendees, at all times.
Proof of vaccination may include a physical card or a photo of a complete vaccination card that matches the patron ID. Proof of a negative test may be a printed or digital test result that matches the patron ID. Children under 12, who cannot be vaccinated, can show a negative test to attend. People with a medical condition or closely held religious belief that prevents vaccination can attend with proof of a recent negative Covid-19 test.
