JAZZ STANDARD YOUTH ORCHESTRA
JAZZ DISCOVERY
Bianca Love is a musical force of nature. A New Orleans born vocalist, trumpeter, guitarist, producer, educator, bandleader; literally anything musical she can truly do it all and do it well. Bianca has the capability to invent lyrics to a blues on the spot, produce songs of diverse genres, and solo on the trumpet. In a live setting, Bianca will captivate audiences and really light up a ‘house’. Don’t take our word for it. Roll thru to Turnmill May 1st to experience her musicality in person!
Bill Stewart is one of the world's most in demand drummers. From his hypnotizing solos to the strength of his accompaniment and sense of swing, Bill is a top call from legends such as John Scofield, Larry Goldings, Gary Peacock and so many more. Don't miss this event in one of our most intimate partner venues alongside his cohort Joe Martin (bass) and led by the double tenor sax phenomenons Jerome Sabbagh and Melissa Aldana.
Perhaps Grant Stewart wouldn’t allow us to say it but he is a true master of the tenor saxophone. The Canadian-born New York stalwart has been heard next to greats like Peter Bernstein, Brad Mehldau, and Clark Terry and performs regularly internationally. When in NY, Grant can be heard at the non-presumptuous 11th Street Bar, one of our favorite Monday night hangouts for bebop and post bop. Roll thru!
Josh Evans is at the forefront of modern trumpet playing. A favorite soloist in bands such as Christian McBride, Charles Tolliver, and “Ku-umba” Frank Lacy, Evans sound is unique and exciting. Don’t miss this show as he performs alongside tenor/soprano wizard Stacy Dillard backed by Rob Duguay’s ‘Low Key Trio’.
