SUMMARY:ETIENNE CHARLES
DESCRIPTION:A high-energy spectacle blending American jazz with the sights and sounds of Trinidadian Carnival. A multicultural celebration of life\, freedom\, and history \nThe Anglophone Caribbean is the subject of Etienne Charles’s Carnival: The Sound of a People\, by Trinidad-born\, Juilliard-trained trumpet player and composer Etienne Charles. Charles was fascinated by Jab Molassie (Molasses Devil)\, the blue-colored\, horned\, winged\, pitchfork-carrying\, fire-breathing carnival characters in Trinidad and Tobago – and the people who become them for Carnival. He went to the village of Paramin on Carnival Monday\, to watch them compete – only to dive in and start playing the biscuit tin along with them\, getting himself splattered with blue paint. A scholar of Caribbean music and conservator of traditions who also extends the traditions in everything he does\, Charles explains Carnival: “It’s music. It’s dance. It’s costume. It’s improvisation. It’s history. It’s social commentary\, political commentary. It’s all of that in one word. And the only way to do it in a show is to have as much of it as possible.” This show makes its Jazz at Lincoln Center debut\, rescheduled from June of 2020. \nYou can purchase the 9:30 performances on June 9 and 10 as part of the 9:30 in The Appel Room series – three 9:30 Appel Room shows for $99 (including fees) for any seat in the house while seats are available. Your Appel Room ticket stub can be used for a free cover to that evening’s Dizzy’s Late Night Session \nFriday & Saturday: 7:00pm~& 9:30pm

SUMMARY:PAULA WEST
DESCRIPTION:Vocal Legend Paula West is celebrating the 25th Anniversary of  her 1998 Temptation album at the Herbst Theatre. For this quarter-century celebration of Temptation\, she revisits the album’s eclectic song list\, from Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed’s 1933 title tune to Billie Holiday’s “Don’t Explain\,” delivered in her singular style.  \nThe San Francisco jazz treasure is not the kind of singer who uses her voice like an instrument\, improvising long scat solos. She prefers to work around the edges of a melody\, stretching a word here or clipping a phrase there so that each piece sounds as if it was written with her voice in mind. When not enthralling Bay Area audiences\, Paula has become a Manhattan fixture\, earning New York Nightlife Awards for Outstanding Female Jazz Vocalist. In 2013\, trumpet luminary Wynton Marsalis recruited her to sing the lead role in the reprise of his Pulitzer Prize-winning opus Blood On the Fields.  \nThis performance is part of the 40th San Francisco Jazz Festival running June 7~18\, 2023

SUMMARY:MICHAEL FRANKS
DESCRIPTION:Michael Franks is an American singer and songwriter\, considered a leader of the quiet storm movement. He has recorded with a variety of well-known artists\, such as Patti Austin\, Art Garfunkel\, Brenda Russell\, Claus Ogerman\, Joe Sample\, and David Sanborn. His songs have been recorded by Gordon Haskell\, Shirley Bassey\, The Carpenters\, Kurt Elling\, Diana Krall\, Patti LaBelle\, Lyle Lovett\, The Manhattan Transfer\, Leo Sidran\, Veronica Nunn\, Carmen McRae\, Ringo Starr and Natalie Cole. \nFranks grew up in southern California with his father Thurman\, his mother Vera\, and two younger sisters. Although no one in his family was a musician\, his parents loved swing music\, and his early influences included Peggy Lee\, Nat King Cole\, Ira Gershwin\, Irving Berlin\, and Johnny Mercer. At age 14 Franks bought his first guitar\, a Japanese Marco Polo for $29.95 with six private lessons included; those lessons were the only music education that he received. \nAt University High in San Diego\, Franks discovered the poetry of Theodore Roethke with his off-rhymes and hidden meter. In high school\, he began singing folk-rock\, accompanying himself on guitar. Studying English at UCLA\, Michael discovered Dave Brubeck\, Patti Page\, Stan Getz\, João Gilberto\, Antonio Carlos Jobim\, and Miles Davis. He never studied music in college or later\, but earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA in comparative literature in 1966 and a Master of Arts degree from the University of Oregon in 1968. He had a teaching assistantship in a Ph.D. program in American literature at the University of Montreal before returning to teach part-time at UCLA. \nDuring this time Franks started writing songs\, starting with the antiwar musical Anthems in E-flat (1968) starring Mark Hamill. He also composed music for the films Cockfighter (1974)\, starring Warren Oates\, and Zandy’s Bride (1974)\, starring Liv Ullmann and Gene Hackman. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee recorded three of his songs\, including “White Boy Lost in the Blues” on their album Sonny & Brownie. Franks played guitar\, banjo and mandolin on the album and joined them in touring. In 1973\, he recorded an eponymous album\, later reissued as Previously Unavailable\, which included the minor hit “Can’t Seem to Shake This Rock ‘n Roll.” \nIn 1976 Franks released his second album The Art of Tea\, which saw Franks begin a long relationship with Warner Bros. Records. The Art of Tea featured Joe Sample\, Larry Carlton\, and Wilton Felder of the Crusaders and included the hit song “Popsicle Toes”. His third album\, Sleeping Gypsy (1977)\, which includes the song “The Lady Wants to Know”\, was partially recorded in Brazil. Around this time\, percussionist Ray Armando gave Franks a cabasa\, which became a signature instrument for him to play on stage when he was not playing guitar. Burchfield Nines (1978)\, which includes the song “When the Cookie Jar Is Empty\,” reflects his move to New York City and features more of an East Coast sound. Since then\, Franks recorded more than 15 albums. \nHis best known works include “When I Give My Love to You\,” “Popsicle Toes\,” “Monkey See\, Monkey Do\,” “Lotus Blossom\,” “Tiger in the Rain\,” “Rainy Night in Tokyo\,” and “Tell Me All About It.” His biggest hit came in 1983 with “When Sly Calls (Don’t Touch That Phone)” from the album Passionfruit. Radio hits include “Your Secret’s Safe With Me” from 1985’s Skin Dive\, and “Island Life” from 1987’s The Camera Never Lies. \nMichael Franks also recorded his cover version of “Christmas Time Is Here” (the Christmas classic) with jazz pianist David Benoit released in 1996 on Benoit’s Christmas album\, Remembering Christmas. \nOpening Act: Andrea Miller \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)

SUMMARY:DAMIEN ESCOBAR
DESCRIPTION:Damien Escobar is a world-renowned violinist\, author\, entrepreneur\, and philanthropist\, hailing from Jamaica\, Queens\, and New York. His musical career spans over a decade\, and his inspiring journey of making it big\, losing it all\, fighting to rebuild\, and getting a second chance at success is as much a part of his brand identity as being among the top violinist in the world. \nThe now NAACP Image Award nominee and Billboards chart-topping artist was once humbled by homelessness after calling it quits from his famed group\, “Nuttin but Stringz.” The group\, comprised of Damien and his brother\, Tourie– known in NYC for playing their violins on the subway; gained global recognition when they appeared as contestants on “America’s Got Talent.” The competition helped to catapult the duo into stardom and they quickly experienced all the highs of being the most sought-after musicians of their time. However\, that glory was short-lived and the fall from grace was a hard hit\, to say the very least; as the group disbanded and a bruised Damien made the decision to retire his violin. What came next was a struggle– not only with his identity\, and depression but with finding success in other non-creative endeavors. \nLooking back at his journey\, Damien realizes it all needed to fall apart so he could be forced to grow while putting it back together the right way. Prevailing was a process and it started with unburying his talent– his love of playing the violin. And in 2013 Damien released his first album as a solo artist\, “Sensual Melodies.” Once thought of as a passion project\, the album garnished over 200K downloads; landed on the iTunes Top 100 chart; and served as a springboard for a successful national tour where he headlined\, for the first time\, as the one and only\, Damien Escobar. \nFrom there\, doors that were once closed\, became a little easier to push open; affording Damien opportunities to tell his inspiring story to publications like People Magazine and Huffington Post; make appearances on local and national news including “The Today Show”; serve as a guest on radio broadcasts;  and even accept invitations to perform at notable events such as Oprah Winfrey’s “The Life You Want” tour. Back in the spotlight\, Damien decided this time around he would do more with his visibility and began his entrepreneurial walk by penning and self-publishing his very first children’s book\, “The Sound of Strings”; building his very own line of custom designed violins; and establishing partnerships to develop a wine line\, perfume and fragrances\, and a non-profit organization that would include a music program for children. \nMotivated by his past and grateful for his fans and future\, Damien went on to release his second album\, “Boundless.” Growing into a self-conscious artist with more than a mission to make good music\, Damien sought to inspire change and spread positivity by sharing uplifting messages and telling unfiltered personal stories to sold-out arenas across the world during his second tour. Though he’s achieved more than he could have imagined after pulling himself up by his bootstraps and kick starting his solo career– Damien Escobar’s story isn’t over yet. The breakout artist has partnered with Mitsubishi and is now the face and sound of their latest campaign; he’s releasing new music and videos set to air on major broadcast channels; and\, the world famous violinist\, continues to build his brand centered around making an impact and inspiring social change. Stay tuned\, there’s more to come. \nWith Special Guest Anthony Franks \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)

SUMMARY:MATTEO BOCELLI
DESCRIPTION:Much of the world first heard acclaimed singer-songwriter Matteo Bocelli on “Fall on Me\,” theEnglish/Italian song that he co-wrote for the elder Bocelli’s acclaimed 2018 album\,Sì\, which topped the Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums chart. The song\, which has amassed over 300 million combined global streams\, went on to soundtrack Disney’sThe Nutcracker and the Four Realms. The pair performed “Fall on Me” at Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl as well as on numerous television programs\, including “Dancing with the Stars\,” Colbert\, “Good MorningAmerica\,” “TheRoyal Variety Performance” and “Strictly Come Dancing.” It was a powerful introduction\, but Matteo’s musical journey began when he was a child.By age six\, he was learning piano\, and as a teenager his passion for music rivaled his love of sport. At18 he made his stage debut\, singing Verdi at the Colosseum in Rome. He’s worked his whole life to master his craft. But the melodies that emerge whenever the young man opens his mouth feel real in a way that can’t be explained by a classical education. He sings with a purity of expression that seems innate\, with charisma and clarity of purpose. Matteo\, who is graduating at the Conservatory of Lucca in Tuscany\, has just released the new single\,Tempo\, which has been tapped for the European/UK advertising campaign for the new Fiat 500 LaPrima. The stylish new vehicle sets the pace for a madcap adventure throughout Tuscany in the official video. Tempo is the follow-up to his duet with Latin superstar\, Sebastian Yatra\, Until She’s Gone\, his first duet since 2018’sFall On Me with his father. Matteo\, who is fluent in Spanish released the track in various languages–Tu Luz Quedó(Spanish) and Un Attimo Di Te(Italian).“You need this artist on your radar\,” saidEuphoria Magazine after Matteo released his fittingly titled debut single“Solo”on Capitol Records in 2021. Combined global streams of the song have surpassed seven million and views of the official video now exceed five million.In recent months he also appeared on the star-studded PBS special “In Performance at the WhiteHouse: Spirit of the Season\,” “TODAY”\,CNN’s New Year’s Eve special\, Good Morning America and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Considered to be one of the most promising emerging vocalists on the international pop scene\,Matteo is currently working on his first record. \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)

SUMMARY:SAMARA JOY
DESCRIPTION:Concert On The Lawn presented in collaboration with Jazz At Lincoln Center. \n22-year-old Samara Joy makes her case to join the likes of Sarah\, Ella\, and Billie as the next mononymous jazz singing sensation recorded by the venerable label. Her voice\, rich and velvety yet precociously refined\, has already earned her fans like Anita Baker and Regina King\, appearances on the TODAY Show and millions of likes on TikTok — cementing her status as perhaps the first Gen Z jazz singing star. On Linger Awhile\, Samara will introduce that massive audience to a slew of classic standards several times older than she is through her timeless\, irresistible sound. \nSamara is still relatively new to jazz. Growing up in the Bronx\, it was music of the past — the music of her parent’s childhoods\, as she put it — that she listened to most. She treasures her musical lineage\, which stretches back to her grandparents Elder Goldwire and Ruth McLendon\, both of whom performed with Philadelphia gospel group the Savettes\, and runs through her father\, who is a singer\, songwriter and producer who toured with gospel artist Andraé Crouch. “Sometimes I catch myself when I’m singing — I’m like\, ‘Whoa\, that was a dad moment’\,” Samara quips. Eventually\, she did follow in the family tradition\, singing in church and then with the jazz band at Fordham High School for the Arts\, with whom she won Best Vocalist at JALC’s Essentially Ellington competition. That led to her enrolling in SUNY Purchase’s jazz studies program\, where she fell deeply in love with the music.

SUMMARY:HOT PANTS DE FRANCE
DESCRIPTION:Assembling some of the hottest talent from around the world\, touring/session guitarist (Maynard Ferguson\, NKOTB\, Kenny Loggins) and Emmy nominated film/tv composer Sam Kaufmann formed the Gypsy Jazz and Swing Group – Hot Pants de France. Sam has liberated himself from the Hot Jazz canon and presents his own uninhibited\, modern style with Hot Pants de France and highlights what is still to come. Well received by both listeners and the press\, the vision was to bring a fresh\, contemporary feel to hits from the ’70s\, ’80s and ’90s by arranging them in the style of jazz great Django Reinhardt. The intention was not to simply recapitulate the music\, but to interpret it with a uniqueness\, incorporating modern influences\, while remaining true to the innovative style created by Django and Stéphane Grappelli in Quintette du Hot Club de France\, one of the first all-string jazz bands. \nThe dichotomy between musical styles of the ’40s and the ’90s is bridged by our various vocalists including Lisa Rittner\, and Valeria Koka. Each elegantly bringing the music into the sound of “today”. Lisa honed her chops for a decade on the Queen Mary and the band Sound F/X. In addition to her voice\, Lisa gracefully adds her Saxophone prowess to Hot Pants’ samba-esque version of “Black Hole Sun”. While Valeria is best known for her vocal work with Ukranian Superstar Artem Pivovarov and her own Valeria Koka Sextet. \nHarkening back to the establishing sound of OG – Stéphane Grappelli\, Jane Young (2nd Place International Grand Prix of St. Petersburg\, Swiss Dream Circus\, NBC\, Nova/PBS) constructed excellent counterpoint to Sam’s guitar lines. The two play off each other like a conversation between old friends. \nFinally\, touring/session bassist Jack O’Roonie (Andre Williams\, Danny B Harvey\, Wanda Jackson and Labella Strings endorsee) outlines the harmony while controlling the dynamics and pace of the band with his fantastical yet proficient bass lines. \nYears of experience and effortless interaction are clear – noteworthy on the recordings as well as on stage. Standing on the works by Django Reinhardt\, it is this unique mix of pop\, jazz\, americana and inventive compositions that makes the unmistakable sound of the group. \nBAND MEMBERSSam Kaufmann – Reharmonizer and GuitarLisa Rittner – Vocals and SaxValeria Koka – VocalsJack O’Roonie – BassAndrea Reynolds and Jane Young – Violin

SUMMARY:HOWARD HEWETT & MICHAEL LINGTON
DESCRIPTION:Howard Hewett is one of the most gifted vocalists in the Post-Marvin Gaye era of pop R&B. \nHe started singing as a child\, fronting his older sisters in The Hewett Singers. The group toured the gospel circuit. As a teen\, Hewett sharpened his crooner skills in a funk band called Lyfe. In 1976\, Hewett moved to Los Angeles and formed a group put together by the owners of the historic Maverick’s Flat\, called Beverly Hills. \n​Hewett got his mainstream break as the male vocal lead in Shalamar\, a centerpiece of Dick Griffey’s SOLAR (Sound of Los Angeles Records) label. His tenor voice mixed beautifully with the bright vocals of Jody Watley\, the dancing skills of Jeffery Daniels and the writing and production of Leon Sylvers III. The group gave the world feel-good dance favorites The Second Time Around and A Night to Remember\, the baby-making classic For the Lover in You\, as well as a number of beautiful B-side ballads like You Can Count On Me and Somewhere There’s a Love. When Watley and Daniels left the group in 1983\, Hewett continued to lead Mickey Free and Delisa Davis in the reconstituted Shalamar. This version of the group was best known for soundtrack contributions on Footloose and Beverly Hills Cop with Dancing in the Sheets and the Grammy-winning Don’t Get Stopped in Beverly Hills\, respectively. \n​In the mid-eighties\, Howard sets out on his solo career\, releasing I Commit to Love in 1986 on Elektra and from the first single Hewett made magic\, giving his amorous voice and whimsical lyrics to Stay\, I’m For Real and the title track. Most beloved track on this freshman release would be his spiritually grounded Say Amen. This single soared on the Inspirational charts and has enjoyed the status of a modern gospel classic. \n​Subsequent projects have solidified Hewett’s place in the high ranks of R&B balladeers by writing and collaborating and lending his voice within an intimate group of crooners\, including George Duke\, Quincy Jones\, James Ingram\, Anita Baker\, Prince and Stanley Clarke. With Elektra\, he released Forever and Ever (1988- Once\, Twice\, Three Times)\, Howard Hewett (1990- Show Me) and Allegiance (1992- Can We Try Again). \n​Later work shows increasing authenticity as Hewett rips song lyrics straight from his soul. It’s Time (1994- This Love is Forever)\, written and produced almost exclusively with long time friend and collaborator Monte Seward\, displays all the vulnerability involved in falling and staying in love. In 2001\, Hewett released the all inspirational album The Journey\, where he shows us that his faith can’t be separated from his heart and soul. \n​Hewett continues to seduce audiences and eardrums as he is constantly touring and intermittently releasing new music. \n​“Of all the fine vocalists working today\, Howard Hewett is one of the finest.” – Babyface \nMichael Lington is an award winning saxophonist\, songwriter\, producer\, recording artist and a purveyor of soul and contemporary jazz. \nPowering full steam ahead into the next phase of his dynamic 25 year solo career\, saxophonist Michael Lington captures all the freewheeling magic\, energy and optimism we’re feeling post-pandemic with his latest perfectly titled Billboard single “Play” – a funked out\, fun-spirited\, perfect for summertime jam that marks his first time co-writing and co-producing with longtime friend and fellow horn master and hit maker Darren Rahn. The groove-intensive track also features Paul Jackson Jr.’s blistering guitar fire and the non-stop grooves of bassist Mel Brown and drummer Tarell Martin. While creating a forward minded way to keep joy and hope flowing in turbulent times\, “Play” – from Lington’s upcoming EP and first set of original tunes since 2018’s Silver Lining – also reflects the multi-talented artist’s ever-bustling role as a first time dad to his son Landon and the passion he’s bringing to his latest endeavor\, hosting his own Friday radio show on Smooth Jazz 247. \nHe has released 12 solo albums and has 27 singles that have charted on the Billboard and Radio & Records (R&R) contemporary jazz radio charts. \nOver the course of his career\, Lington has collaborated with Michael Bolton\, Barry Manilow\, Randy Crawford\, Bobby Caldwell\, Kenny Lattimore\, Booker T. Jones\, Ray Parker\, Jr.\, Taylor Dayne\, Brian Culbertson\, William Bell\, Dave Stewart\, Vince Gill and many others. \nHe has toured regularly his entire career\, averaging 60-80 shows per year. In recent years\, Lington joined Michael Bolton on tour as his opening act & special guest. Lington and Bolton performed over 350 shows together in more than 40 countries. \nBarry Manilow invited Lington to join his “One Last Time” arena tour. Michael opened the show and joined Manilow on the song “Brooklyn Blues” during the headliner’s main set. \nIn Nov. 2016\, Lington performed for the Memphis Music Hall Of Fame ceremony\, honoring 2016 inductee Charles Lloyd. Stax Records soul singer William Bell and Snoop Dogg also performed at the induction ceremony. \nIn September 2019 it was announced that Michael would join the Dave Koz and Friends; Gifts Of The Season Christmas tour alongside Koz\, Jonathan Butler\, Melissa Manchester and Chris Walker. The 22-date concert tour traveled across the U.S. between November 29 and December 23\, 2019. \nIn 2020 during the pandemic\, Michael become one of the leading music artists producing hi-quality virtual shows\, which earned him a most innovative artist award by Stageit! \nLington is signed to the The Reliant Talent agency for worldwide representation and has a publishing administration deal with Kobalt Music Publishing. He is an ASCAP songwriter/publisher and a 25-year voting member of the Recording Academy. \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)
