Beginning in 2005, Craig has performed each year in New Orleans, presented by the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park.  This year he plays the Steinway grand piano at the Old US Mint during the first weekend of Jazz Fest accompanied by Alfred "Uganda" Roberts on congas and percussion, presenting a program which highlights the contributions of New Orleans' great tradition of piano players to various jazz and blues piano styles.  Alfred Roberts, a native of New Orleans, has performed and recorded with many of the greats in the history of New Orleans music, including Professor Longhair, Dr. John, the Meters, the Wild Magnolias, Willie Tee, John Mooney, and others. In 2005 he received the Sidney Bechet Award for Innovation presented by the New Orleans International Music Colloquium.  http://www.nps.gov/jazz/index.htm  or http://www.wwoz.org/events/217326
