SUMMARY:DON ALIQUO
DESCRIPTION:Saxophonist Don Aliquo’s playing has been described as “smooth as silk…with an unfailing feel for breath and phrasing” while extremely supple in the addressing of his axe but always zeroed in on what he’s describing”. \n“Growth” his newest release\, explores new territory with intriguing compositions and ample solo space for Aliquo’s inspired improvisations. The eight originals are both complex and open\, which shows him expanding his boundaries not only as an instrumentalist and improviser\, but also as a composer. The music is an electrifying modern outing with one foot in the future and one in the tradition. \nAliquo has released six solo projects and has worked collaboratively or performed as a sideman on many others. His previous solo cd “Sun and Shield” features veteran jazz masters Rufus Reid\, Jim McNeely\, and the dynamic Obed Calvaire. \nNotable collaborations include a duo recording with eclectic pianist Michael Jefry Stevens and quartet recordings with Roger Humphries and the late Beegie Adair. He also has recorded with his mentor\, notable Pittsburgh tenor stalwart\, Don Aliquo Sr. on the MCG label. \nDon has performed in concerts and recordings with many world-class artists including Gary Burton\, Greg Osby\, Rufus Reid\, Roger Humphries\, Harold Danko\, Adam Nussbaum\, Donald Brown\, Pete Christlieb\, Scott Robinson\, and Bobby Shew. \nCover: $20.00 advance/door

SUMMARY:VANESSA RUBIN
DESCRIPTION:Revered as both a torchbearer and a storyteller\, jazz vocalist Vanessa Rubin possesses a voice hailed for crystalline clarity\, hearth-like warmth and playful lioness sass. The Cleveland native brings a wealth of diverse influences to her vocal performance from both the Trinidadian/Caribbean roots of her mother and traditional jazz by way of her Louisiana-born father. Rubin’s passion for rich musical stories are evidenced throughout her eight albums thus far plus numerous guest appearances. \nHighlight s ongs include the evocative “Voyager II” from the pen of Teri Thornton\, “Inside a Silent Tear” written by Blossom Dearie\, a refashioned waltz version of John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps” lyricized by New York Voices and an arrangement of “Superwoman” by Stevie Wonder insipired by the Ahmad Jamal recording of “Poinciana”.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Bandleader Andy Brown has been one of the busiest guitarists in Chicago over the last two decades\, leading his own bands and backing visiting jazz stars all over the city\, as well traveling nationally and internationally with a variety of groups. He specializes in what he calls “old-school jazz guitar.” \nThe Andy Brown Quartet brings together four of the finest jazz musicians on the Chicago scene. Featuring Andy on guitar\, Jeremy Kahn on piano\, Joe Policastro on bass and Phil Gratteau on drums\, this quartet combines the member’s shared musical inspirations and presents a lyrical and hard-swinging working band that has delighted audiences and critics alike. As a group they have performed weekly at Andy’s Jazz Club since 2012. Their Delmark records release Direct Call received 4 stars in Downbeat Magazine and was selected as one of the magazine’s Albums of the Year. Their latest recording is the 2023 release Good Atmosphere. \nIn a performance review the Chicago Tribune’s jazz critic wrote: “Inspiring music-making isn’t necessarily loud\, aggressive\, self-aggrandizing or heavily promoted. Consider what happens every Sunday night at Andy’s Jazz Club\, where the superb but serenely understated Chicago guitarist Andy Brown leads a quartet. Like him\, his bandmates speak softly but poetically. Brown’s pastel tones\, softly stated melody lines and delicately rolled chords conveyed remarkable intimacy.” \nTickets: $20.00\nShowtimes: 6pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm

SUMMARY:FRANKIE QUINONES
DESCRIPTION:Percussionist and drummer Frankie Quinones for one night only brings his Latin Jazz Collective to the stage! \nQuinones is a percussionist that focuses on using latin percussive instruments to fuse rhythms into any genre of music. He believes what sets him apart is that he works to have an authentic sound and that he’s not tied to any specific form or genre of music. \nFrankie started playing drums and percussion in the church and began taking music seriously in hisjunior year of highschool where he joined a local band back home in Buffalo\, New York. After high school he applied and got accepted to Berklee College of Music. It was not an easy journey\, but he wouldn’t trade it for the world. Each setback and disappointment added to his music and has enhanced the story he tells via the drum. He doesn’t believe in overcoming\, he believes in staying\, fighting and showing up. Every experience adds to who you are and the story that you tell in your music\, and choosing to play it and live in every moment. \nHe loves to play it all\, be it Jazz\, Salsa\, Funk\, Pop etc. Frankie is most proud of his family! His wife and three daughters are what excites him the most as he watches them grow into adulthood and become who they are destined to become. When you hear him play\, he wants everyone to know  that he is performing from an honest place with respect to those who have come before him and for those that are coming afterwards. \nC \nover: $39.00 ~ $49.00 (fee included)
