AARON DIEHL // November 2018 + January 2019

Pianist AARON DIEHL is one of the most sought after jazz virtuosos, consistently

playing with what The New York Times describes as “melodic precision,

harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint.” Diehl’s meticulously thought-

out performances, collaborations, and compositions are a leading

force in today’s generation of jazz contemporaries, spearheading a distinct

union of traditional and fresh artistry. Diehl’s latest project, Space, Time,

Continuum, emphasizes the artistic collaborations between generations and

re-establishes the jazz language as a continuum uniting artists.

“…a jubilant new trio…Diehl has pro-duced an album of high-level, detailed musicianship, a collection of style and

substance.” //THE AUSTRALIAN

AMBROSE AKINMUSIRE // October 2018 January 2019Origami Harvest // February 2019

AMBROSE AKINMUSIRE, hailed by Pop-Matters as “one of the very best musi-cians in jazz--or any other style of mu-sic,” cojoins rapping and a string quartet, in a new chamber work, Origami Har-vest, that pushes the boundaries of jazz, hip hop and new classical. Set deep by Akinmusire’s “strong aesthetic compass” (The New York Times), this uniquely explorative and expressive piece was composed for a jazz trio, string quartet, and rappers.

“an incredible night of forward-thinking music.” //SECRETS OF THE CITY





BRANFORD MARSALIS QUARTET // New CD 2018 // March + July 2019

Leader of one of the fin-est jazz quartets and a frequent soloist with classical ensembles, he continues to exercise and expand his skills as an in-strumentalist and a composer.

“Marsalis leads one of the most cohe-sive, intense small jazz ensembles on the scene today.” //ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOKANTÉ //January 2019

BOKANTÉ means “exchange” in Creole, the language of vocalist MALIKA TIROLIEN’s youth growing up on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Joining forces with two-time Grammy award-winning guitarists MICHAEL LEAGUE, CHRIS MCQUEEN, and BOB LANZETTI (all from Snarky Puppy), percussion legend JAMEY HADDAD (Paul Simon, Sting), pedal and lap steel virtuoso ROOSEVELT COLLIER (Lee Boys, Karl Denson), and unplaceable percussionists ANDRÉ FERRARI (Väsen) and KEITA OGAWA (Banda Magda, Yo-Yo Ma), BOKANTÉ comes together to create a diverse ensemble rich in groove, melody, and soul.

“Bokanté is nothing short of a world music supergroup.” //SCENSTR





CHRISTIAN McBRIDE // The Philadelphia Experiment (TBC) //

July 2019

CHRISTIAN McBRIDE consistently com-bines a deft musicianship with his innate

ability to communicate his enthusiasm. It is a warm showmanship that trans-

form his own passion into infectious joy, whether he’s leading his own bands,

sharing the stage with jazz legends like Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Herbie

Hancock or Pat Metheny, accompanying pop giants like James Brown, Sting or

The Roots, or collaborating with classi-cal masters like Kathleen Battle, Edgar

Meyer or the Shanghai Quartet.

“the audience followed every nuance, twist and turn before applauding each

number as though it was the last.“ //FINANCIAL TIMES

CYRILLE AIMEE //New CD // November 2018 February + July/August 2019

When her major label debut hit, The New York Times called it “a bravura turn, presented with a smile.” “Let’s Get Lost”, CYRILLE AIMÉE’s second album for Mack Avenue Records, brings to light a different side of the radiant singer with a story of nascent love coming to full bloom. Accompanied by two guitar wunderkinds, Adrien Moignard and Michael Valeanu, so tight-knit that they are almost the same person, she adds pensive touches to her usual zest and reveals a bittersweet depth that has her listeners daydreaming for a while.

“Astonishingly creative....with a brilliant sound, fresh ideas, impeccable rhythm ...honor[ing] tradition without being shackled to the past.” //THE WALL STREET JOURNAL





DAVE HOLLAND //October/ November2019

Aziza // October/November 2018

DAVE HOLLAND is a bassist, composer, bandleader whose passion for musical expression of all styles, and dedication

to creating consistently innovative music ensembles have propelled a profes-sional career of more than 50 years,

and earned him top honors in his field including multiple Grammy awards and the title of NEA Jazz Master in 2017. He

was a leading member of a generation that helped usher jazz bass playing from

its swing and post-bop legacy to the vibrancy and multidiscipline excitement

of the modern era, extending the instru-ment’s melodic, expressive capabilities.

“...a band whose constituent parts roar to a peak, unfold magically into space,

and, when combined, speak so elo-quently as one.” //THE GUARDIAN

DIANNE REEVES //April/May + October/November 2019 Sing The Truth! // July 2019 Five-time Grammy Winner including the 2015 Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Al-bum, “Beautiful Life” showcases DIANNE REEVES’ sublime gifts in a melding of R&B, Latin and pop elements within the framework of 21st Century jazz.

“[Her performances] revealed new depths to this passionate, fearless and technically astonishing artist..” //THE GUARDIAN





JASON MORAN //Solo // May/June 2019

Since his formidable emergence on the music scene in the late 90s, jazz pianist

JASON MORAN has proven more than his brilliance as a performer. The

Blue Note Records recording artist has established himself as a risk-taker and innovator of new directions for jazz as a whole. In almost every category that matters – improvisation, composition,

group concept, repertoire, technique and experimentation – Moran in all

his settings, group, solo, and special projects, has continuously challenged

the status quo, and earned the reputation as “the future of jazz”.

“Mr. Moran had crafted something concise and moving that combined the spark of collective improvisation at its

best with the arc of a fine dramatic scene...some decidedly forward-leaning

music.” // THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

JON CLEARY //New CD 2018 // November 2018 February/March + June + August/September 2019Solo Christmas // December 2019

While steeped in the classic New Orleans’ keyboard canon – from Jelly Roll Morton to Fats Domino to Art Nev-ille, James Booker, and beyond – JON CLEARY uses that century’s worth of pianistic brilliance as a point of depar-ture to forge his own unique and eclectic style wrapped in such far-flung influ-ences as ‘70s soul, gospel music, funk, Afro-Caribbean (and especially Afro-Cuban) rhythms and more. Obviously he does it well as it garnered him a Grammy for his latest release, Go-Go Juice.

“Loaded to the bones with all kindsa grooves...New Orleans is in good hands with this expat.” //RELIX





JONAH NILSSON //November 2018

July + October 2019

JONAH NILSSON was the vocalist/key-boardist for the international Pop-Jazz

band, Dirty Loops. The band made a name for themselves very quickly with

their twisted pop covers beginning with their take on Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” and gathered a following through their

worldwide tour with Maroon 5. Follow-ing numerous viral hits, with over 32

million YouTube views collectively, Jonah has gone solo with a new EP due to hit

it big with the funk-jazz track “Coffee Break” with Richard Bona on bass and a

killer horn section as the first single.

“... just incredible.” //QUINCY JONES

JOSHUA REDMAN // James Farm // October 2018Still Dreaming // February + July 2019Guest Artist // June 2019

JOSHUA REDMAN is one of the most acclaimed and charismatic jazz artists to have emerged in the 1990s. Son of legendary Dewey Redman and dancer Renee Shedroff, he was exposed at an early age to a variety of musics (jazz, classical, rock, soul, Indian, Indonesian, Middle-Eastern, African) and instru-ments (recorder, piano, guitar, gatham, gamelan). The early influences of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cannonball Adderley and his father, as well as The Beatles, Aretha Franklin, the Tempta-tions, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, The Police and Led Zeppelin are threads within Joshua’s music.

“Redman is among the most accom-plished living practitioners of the jazz tenor saxophone, and can be counted on to shred on demand.” //NPR





JUSTIN KAUFLIN //March + July 2019

Pianist JUSTIN KAUFLIN began with classical studies on violin and piano.

From age six, he performed concerts, eventually becoming concertmaster for several orchestras. Along the way, Jus-tin also started to lose his vision, until he

was totally sightless. Not to be deterred, he developed a love for jazz. Mentored

by Harold Mabern and Clark Terry, Kauflin’s style embodies the ‘’quiet fire’’ lyricism of Bill Evans (Kauflin’s ‘’biggest

influence at age 14’’), the nimble and mercurial qualities of Bud Powell, the

genial melodiousness of Herbie Hancock and a bit of Dave Brubeck’s gregarious

percussiveness.

“He’s a monster on the piano! And, one of the greatest people I know.”

// CLARK TERRY

KURT ELLING // October/November 2019“A Beautiful Day” Christmas Program //December 2019

Every one of KURT ELLING’s ten albums has been GRAMMY nominated. Every one. Elling’s rich baritone spans four oc-taves, featuring both astonishing tech-nical mastery and emotional depth. His deep repertoire includes original com-positions and modern interpretations of standards, all of which are springboards for Elling’s inspired improvisation. A unique Holiday program is available, created around “The Beautiful Day”, his Christmas CD release on Sony/Okeh.

“The vocalist juxtaposes protest songs with poetry and follows showtune clas-sics with literate vocalese... Elling wrings the last drop of emotion out of lyric and line.” //THE FINANCIAL TIMES





KURT ROSENWINKEL // New CD Late 2018 //

Open Avails 2018 - 2020

KURT ROSENWINKEL’s trio with Tim Motzer, and Gintas Janusonis explore the intersection of electronics, sound-scapes, experimentalism, psych-rock,

free improvisation, and telepathic inter-play. It is the laboratory which helps you

understand how Eric Clapton came to claim “Kurt Rosenwinkel is a genius,” and

then added; “he really is”, in case there was any doubt. Kurt will also be touring

his Standards Trio throughout 2019 .

“...possibly the creamiest spacy-rock meets spiritual jazz grooves set down in a recording session ever.” //

LINDA MAY HAN OH // July 2019

LINDA MAY HAN OH has been the indis-pensable bassist for Joe Lovano, Steve Wilson, Vijay Iyer, Dave Douglas, Kenny Barron, Geri Allen, Fabian Almazan, and Terri Lyne Carrington, and currently Pat Metheny. With her latest project, Walk Against Wind, Oh explores both the challenges and the rich rewards of an artist’s journey. “Walk Against Wind is about the paths that we choose,” Oh explains. “Sometimes they end up being the harder paths, but in the long run they prove more fruitful.”

“ Oh centre-stage is a commanding performer absorbed in her music and at one with her bass. Her frequent solos were evening highlights performed with relish...But she never forsook the under-stated excellence that has made her an in-demand side-musician for nearly a decade.” //FINANCIAL TIMES





LIONEL LOUEKE GROUP //September/October 2018 February 2019

Lionel Loueke + Richard Bona // Summer 2019

LIONEL LOUEKE’S upcoming group project started with Lionel alone, play-

ing and singing, pulling from his extensive roots, his past collaborations and inspi-rations, creating new music for a hope-

ful future. In addition to Lionel’s guitar virtuosity, this new group will also focus on the vocal stylings fans have grown to love from his tours with Herbie Hancock

and Chick Corea. His new songs combine classic African elements, the flavors

of jazz harmony, and the originality of Lionel which navigates beyond any of

these labels.

“Highly entertaining, thoroughly invigor-ating stuff.” //JAZZTIMES

LIZZ WRIGHT // March + September 2019 Sing The Truth! // July 2019

LIZZ WRIGHT was a preacher’s kid and it is there, deep in the joy of ministry, the roots of the voice and spirit that so cap-tivates listeners. She seamlessly flows through the genres of gospel, jazz, folk, pop, and blues, but ultimately, it is the voice, the stories told and the call to con-nect that transcends categorization and stirs her audiences. Available as a guest with Big Band, Symphonies, or with her small band. Her new album, Grace, shall be released in the Fall of 2017.

“Ms. Wright has found a new sensual register as an artist.” //THE NEW YORK TIMES





MARTIN HAYES DUO QUARTET //

Duo // February 2019 Quartet // July 2019

MARTIN HAYES and DENNIS CAHILL distill the melodies and rhythms of traditional

Irish music into passionate interpretations of tunes resonating as both venerable and

startlingly new, making them the undisputed masters of Irish music around the world.

THE MARTIN HAYES QUARTET expands on the musical ideas of the duo by explor-ing sonic possibilities with the inclusion of

the deep mellow bass clarinet played by the virtuosic DOUG WIESELMAN, and the rich

warm tones of the viola from the brilliant LIZ KNOWLES.

“The great fiddler Martin Hayes speaks with the soul of a poet...a remarkable artiste, the

only one of his type.” //THE SUNDAYINDEPENDENT

MONTY ALEXANDER 75TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION //April/May + July + October 2019

Over five decades after he moved to the United States from Jamaica, pianist Monty Alexander is a certified American classic. He delights a global audience drawn to his vibrant person-ality and soulful message. His spirited performances are informed by endless melody-making, effervescent grooves, sophisticated voicings, a romantic spirit, all in service “to build up the heat and kick up a storm.” For the 2019, concerts commemorating Monty’s 75th Birthday expect a jubilant celebratory program highlighting the many eras of his career.

“Always one of the hardest-swinging mainstream pianists in the business, Jamaican-born Monty Alexander lately has become one of the most enterprising of that breed.” //VARIETY





OMER AVITAL QANTAR //October/November 2018 January/February 2019

QANTAR is OMER AVITAL’s dream quintet. The improvisations they cre-

ated around Avital’s compositions jelled in an immediate and uncanny way, as if the musicians were traveling along the same tightrope, aloft and daring, with

an incredible solidarity. The band mem-bers share a bond far beyond perform-ing the notes and letting go in the solos.

Their shared history as Israeli expats, neighbors, friends, imbue Qantar with

the key to Avital’s success: his ability to bring the various rhythmic and harmonic

vocabularies underpinning 20th and 21st century hardcore jazz expression to flow

with a polyphonic attitude and musical multilingualism.

“Mr. Avital and his group are producing some of the most original music being

heard in New York.” //THE NEW YORK TIMES

PETER CINCOTTI //March + July 2019

Like a pilot in a cockpit, when PETER CINCOTTI sits down at a piano it’s as if the world is at his fingertips. Legendary music producer Phil Ramone discovered Cincottiti and produced Peter’s debut album which reached #1 on the Bill-board jazz charts, making 18-year old Cincotti the youngest artist ever to do so. Since then, Peter has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues from Carnegie Hall to L’Olympia in Paris, collaborated with artists rang-ing from Andrea Bocelli to David Guetta, has been featured in blockbuster films such as Spiderman 2, and represented the global fashion brands Ermenegildo Zegna and Tod’s. ”

“...a new sound, bringing active, rhythmic piano playing back into the landscape of modern music.” //BROADWAY WORLD





RICHARD BONA //February/March 2019

Richard Bona + Lionel Loueke //Summer 2019

Fans call him “The African Sting,” crit-ics call him a pro, but it’s his unique and electrifying style of connecting with his audience that titles him what he really

is—a true musician. RICHARD BONA’s seemingly effortless voice, fierce

skills on the bass, unique songwriting/arranging expertise and ability to learn

just about any instrument simply from watching, position him as a rare African artist to have established an unscalable reputation on an international platform.

“Mesmerising.” //FINANCIAL TIMES

ROOSEVELT COLLIER //November 2018 March/April 2019

ROOSEVELT COLLIER was born into the Sacred Steel tradition. Today he is wide-ly acknowledgea as a Sacred Steel Mas-ter taking his sound into new directions with his position as an integral member of Bokanté (led by Snarky Puppy’s Mi-chael League) and as the leader of his own “Jimi Hendrix Experiment”-style all-star trio while creating those world famous “get-downs” featuring a mixture of “superstars and church folk.” Exit 16, his long-awaited debut album, features an incredible mixture of blues, gospel, rock, and funk all rolled up by producer and bandmate Michael League. “Lap steel maestro Roosevelt Collier shreds away, always with a robust groove for any improvisation to latch on to.” //LONDON JAZZ NEWS





RUTHIE FOSTER //November 2018 April 2019

RUTHIE FOSTER, born in the small rural town of Gause, TX. With a chapel-bred

bravado trained on the works of power-ful women such as Mavis Staples and

Aretha Franklin, her sound grew into an inspired blend of blues, folk and gospel.

(2007, 2008 and 2013 Best Female Vo-calist), Blues Music Awards (2010, 2011,

2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016), Living Blues Awards (2010 Critics’ Poll Winner, 2011 nominee for Blues Female Artist of

the Year and 2013 Critics’ Poll Winner for Blues Artist of the Year).

“Ruthie Foster was pure magic to watch and hear.” //ROLLING STONE

TERENCE BLANCHARD //October/November 2018 Open Avails 2019

From his expansive work composing the scores for Spike Lee films as well as his own discography of recordings, 2018 USA Fellow and five-time Grammy-winning trumpeter/composer TERENCE BLANCHARD has been a consistent artistic force for making powerful musi-cal statements. With his current quin-tet E-Collective Blanchard addresses the staggering cyclical epidemic of gun violence on his new album Live, Seven powerful songs recorded live in concert that both reflect the bitter frustration of the conscious masses while also pro-viding a balm of emotional healing; an impassioned continuation of the band’s GRAMMY-nominated Breathless.

“This a group with quick-flash combus-tion in its DNA, but also an unforced ca-pacity for the long, low simmer.” //NPR





THE GLOAMING // February/March 2019

THE GLOAMING dwells at a musical crossroads, enhancing traditional Irish music’s rich, melancholic tones with modern hues of jazz, contemporary clas-sical, and experimental music. Steeped in traditional Irish music since birth, fiddlers Martin Hayes and Caoimhin Ó Raghallaigh and sean-nós singer Iarla Ó Lionáird are joined by New York pianist Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), and Chica-go-born guitarist Dennis Cahill. It’s a bold and brave combination that creates the distinctive, bracing sound of music then and now, perfectly in tune.

“Brilliant.” //MOJO

THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA // October 2018 April/July 2019

The BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA have the rare distinction of being recognized around the world as both living legends and modern-day innovators. They are not just gospel singers borrowing

from old traditions; the group helped to define those traditions in 20th century and almost single-handedly created a new gospel sound for the 21st. They have persevered through seven decades to become one of the most recognized and decorated roots music groups in the world.

“When the quartet hit its first harmony part, you could sense the crowd being startled into wonder. The Blind Boys’ blended voices are a sublime meeting of the earthy and the divine.”

//CREATIVE LOAFING





VIJAY IYER // Sextet // June + September/

October 2019Duo w/Craig Taborn // March 2019

With his sextet, VIJAY IYER reached a new peak, furthering an artistry that

led him to be voted DownBeat Artist of the Year in 2012, 2015 and 2016 and for The Guardian to dub his work the

“dizzying pinnacle of contemporary jazz multitasking.” His sextet contains nothing

but virtuoso improvisers, leveraging a wealth of jazz history even as the group

pushes boldly forward.

“Rambunctious, furiously funky…. [This sextet offers] the sort of head-bobbing drive and invention that has landed Iyer on multiple best-of lists over the years.”

//LOS ANGELES TIMES

JAZZ ACROSS CONTINENTS //

October 2019

Barriers fall within the world of jazz as numerous guest artists collaborate with

musical director of seven International Jazz Day Global Concerts, JOHN

BEASLEY, trumpet player PETER ASPLUND and saxophonist MAGNUS

LINDGREN at the fore. Featured on this tour are renowned musicians from all

over the globe, including bassist JOHN PATITUCCI, Tunisian DHAFER YOUSSEF

on oud and vocals, vocalist CHINA MOSES and Brazilian KIKO FREITAS on

drums.

“Having served as music director for artists ranging from Queen Latifah to

Freddie Hubbard ...Beasley seems well-prepared for the job...His jazz chops

earned him a Grammy nomination. His commercial instincts have landed him

work as a soundtrack writer for movies and TV reality shows. An extra dollop of credibility comes from Miles Davis, who hired Beasley for his last touring band.”

//NPR

JOHN BEASLEY presents MONK’estra // Open Avails 2018-2019

Grammy® Award-nominated recording artist John Beasley presents MONK’estra, a smash-ing 15-piece big band that captures the spirit of Thelonious Monk’s singular music – the off-beat melodies and humor, strange beauty and unbounded swing in fresh arrangements flavored with New Orleans spirit, hip-hop, Afro-Cuban rhythms and atmospheric colors. Following the four-time Grammy-nominated albums, MONK’estra,Vol 1 and Vol 2, Beasley created the cinematic concert MONK + MONK’estra which features Thelonious Monk performing on stage via film foot-age with the MONK’estra (simulated in the photo above).

LIONEL LOUEKE + RICHARD BONA //

July 2019

A rare pairing of these two enormously gifted musicians from West Africa —

guitarist-vocalist LIONEL LOUEKE from Benin and bassist-vocalist RICHARD

BONA from Cameroon. Each is a classic triple threat: virtuoso instrumentalist,

soul-stirring singer and prolific composer. And each conveys a charming,

charismatic stage presence to boot.

“Lionel Loueke is every bit as amazing as everyone says.” //NY SUN

“Each tune breeds a carnival of musi-cal quotations. Gluing it all together is

Bona’s silky, deeply intense voice ... and his talent as bassist and multi instru-

mentalist.” //BBC

“[a] special hookup between two such potent performers.” JAZZTIMES
