His work spans a long and distinguished career and, while playful, irreverent and sometimes absurd, addresses many of the social issues of our time in some very compelling ways. A few blocks down the Avenue, noted jazz and blues musician Mose Alison will be performing live at Roller’s Restaurant at the Flying Fish .Accompanied by Jim Dragoni on guitar and Fred Weiss on bass, Allison will play two shows. One at 8: p.m and another at 10 pm. For tickets, visit www.emusicti First Friday events listing http://www.chestnuthillpa.com/events/first-fridays-in-chestnut-hill/
