In this sentimental season-opening concert, A.J. Croce, son of late singer-songwriter Jim Croce, performs his father’s beloved tunes — from “Operator” to “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim” to “Time in a Bottle,” written for A.J. — mixing in his own arrangements and songs that influenced both musicians. After decades making his own musical mark, the renowned pianist and vocalist created this heartwarming ode to his father’s musical mind.
