The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is back once more on a flight to the nation’s capital to the Big Apple. I’ll be giving my regards to Broadway before heading up a few blocks to 10 Columbus Circle 10019 where the Appel Room is located within Jazz At Lincoln Center. It will be a night of Brazilian music and romance with vocalist Rosa Passos.

Based on the design of a Greek amphitheater, The Appel Room merges luxuriant splendor with functional accessibility. One glance at the dramatic 50′ × 83′ wall of glass confirms that The Appel Room possesses one of New York City’s greatest backdrops—Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Several mechanical tiers make up the fluid inner structure of the amphitheater, offering a strikingly adaptable layout. This ingenious design allows for a smooth transformation from supper-club or event mode to theater mode. For additional capability, The Appel Room features a removable stage on its bottom level.

Vocalist Rosa Passos reunites with NEA Jazz Masters Kenny Barron and Ron Carter in the Appel Room for the first time together. While Passos has been called the female João Gilberto, she is a prolific and distinct vocalist and guitarist with a playful yet sophisticated style, marked by perfect pitch and spacious elegance. Enhancing this meeting of these three masters is first-call Brazilian drummer, Rafael Barata.

The Appel Room is located at 10 Columbus Circle, New York City 10019. For more info 212~258-9800 or visit https://2023.jazz.org/rosa-passos-with-kenny-barron-and-ron-carter
