ETIENNE CHARLES
2023-06-09 19:00 - 2023-06-10 23:00 (America/New_York) | The Appel Room | Jazz At Lincoln Center, 10 Columbus Circle, New York City, NY, 10019, United States
A high-energy spectacle blending American jazz with the sights and sounds of Trinidadian Carnival. A multicultural celebration of life, freedom, and history
The 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.
You 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.

Burt Freeman Bacharach | May 12, 1928 – February 8, 2023

Starting in the 1950s, he composed hundreds of pop songs, many in collaboration with lyricist Hal David. Bacharach’s music is characterized by unusual chord progressions, influenced by his background in jazz harmony, and uncommon selections of instruments for small orchestras. He arranged, conducted, and produced much of his recorded output.
Over 1,000 different artists have recorded Bacharach’s songs. From 1961 to 1972, most of Bacharach and David’s hits were written specifically for and performed by Dionne Warwick, but earlier associations from 1957 to 1963 saw the composing duo work with Marty Robbins, Perry Como, Gene McDaniels, and Jerry Butler. Following the initial success of these collaborations, Bacharach wrote hits for singers such as Gene Pitney, Cilla Black, Dusty Springfield, Tom Jones, and B. J. Thomas.

MARIA HOWELL: THE MUSIC OF ELLA FITZGERALD
2023-05-14 16:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | The Strand Theatre, 117 N Park Square, Marietta, GA, 30060, United States
Mother’s Day, May 14th brings together three fabulous ladies ~ Maria Howell and Ella Fitzgerald for an afternoon of stories and music about the iconic vocalist as only Howell can do it. It all takes place at the historic Strand Theatre in Marietta Square . The Music of Ella Fitzgerald will come to life with performances from the Jazz Legacy Project featuring vocalist Maria Howell, a film and television star. This collaboration will include essential songs from Fitzgerald’s career and information about her approach to music and life. This will surely be a treat for mothers and everyone in the family.
Maria’s career started with her singing jazz but her big break in entertainment came from the film adaptation of The Color Purple, where her church solo, though overtaken by Shug avery, definitely stole the show. She muses about the fact that she played a singer.
Created in 2015 after an epiphany Justin Varnes had while teaching Jazz History at Georgia State University, the Jazz Legacy Project has an ongoing residency at the Velvet Note jazz club in Alpharetta, Georgia where they have been selling out their performances for 6 years and counting. Ditching a traditional textbook in favor of playing records and telling stories about the artists to college kids who knew little or nothing about jazz proved to be a big success. It turned out that performing the artist’s music and telling their stories in between proved to be an even bigger success.
Get the velvet rope treatment with a VIP pass! VIP tickets include early access seating, a meet and greet with the band, two drink tickets, and a signed poster from the band.

A new DACAMERA production memorializing the Sugar Land 95, bringing together original music, poetry and visuals
Unearthed pays tribute to the tragic history behind the recent discovery of the remains of 95 Black people (94 men, 1 woman) in unmarked graves in Sugar Land, Texas. They were convict laborers, swept back into “slavery by another name” in the post-Civil War era, arrested for petty crimes like vagrancy and forced into back-breaking and often fatal labor in the sugar fields of Texas.
Now, Houston native jazz artist Kendrick Scott explores this untold story in a new production, teaming up with outstanding Houston-based creative team including the former Houston poet laureate Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton and performed by the acclaimed Harlem String Quartet and a trio of first-call jazz musicians.
