Time change: Rolling Stones keyboardist, author Chuck Leavell, 2 pm March 29

Rock and roll legend Chuck Leavell, longtime keyboardist and musical director for The Rolling Stones, will discuss his new book about sustainable, smart growth, “Growing a Better America,” at a Newsmaker at 2 p.m. Tuesday, March 29, in the First Amendment Lounge.

Leavell, who has played piano for more than 90 major recording artists, is in the midst of recording a CD in tribute to the pioneering blues piano players from whom he derives his musical inspiration.

Keith Richards and John Mayer joined Leavell this month in Los Angeles to lay tracks for the CD, and Leavell returned the favor, recording with Mayer this month on his new CD in New York.

The Stones are currently in negotiations for a world tour next year, which will mark the band’s 50th anniversary.

Leavell will take questions on his latest musical endeavors, including the possible Stones tour, as part of his Newsmaker appearance, and will play a song or two to conclude the event.
