SUMMARY:RUSSELL MALONE
DESCRIPTION:Russell Malone is one of the signature guitar players of his generation. The several recordings since 1992\, Malone is as well-known on the international circuit for helming a world-class quartet and trio as he is for his long-standing participation in Ron Carter’s Golden Striker Trio\, and his recent consequential contribution to the musical production of the likes of Sonny Rollins and Dianne Reeves\, who recruited Malone for his singular tone\, refined listening skills\, limitless chops\, and efflorescent imagination. \nIn all these circumstances\, Malone addresses the tradition on its own terms\, refracting the vocabularies and syntax of such heroes as Charlie Christian\, Chet Atkins\, George Van Eps\, Johnny Smith\, Wes Montgomery\, Grant Green\, Kenny Burrell\, Pat Martino\, and George Benson into an argot entirely his own. A master of all tempos\, a relentless swinger\, he spins his stories —in idioms ranging from the urban and down-home blues\, country\, gospel\, various corners of the American Songbook\, and hardcore jazz—with a soulful\, instantly recognizable instrumental voice\, and seasons them with sophisticated harmonies that are never “too hip for the room.”

SUMMARY:RENÉ MARIE
DESCRIPTION:In a span of two decades\, 11 recordings\, and countless stage performances\, vocalist René Marie has cemented her reputation as not only a singer but also a composer\, arranger\, theatrical performer and teacher. Guided and tempered by powerful life lessons and rooted in jazz traditions laid down by Ella Fitzgerald\, Dinah Washington and other leading ladies of past generations\, she borrows various elements of folk\, R&B\, classical\, and country to create a captivating hybrid style. Her body of work is musical\, but it’s more than just music. It’s an exploration of all corners of the human experience\, an affirmation of the power of the human spirit. \nWhile neither of her parents were formally trained musicians\, radio and records of all kinds – blues\, folk\, bluegrass and classical – made up the soundtrack to her childhood. René had just one year of formal piano training at age nine\, then another year of lessons at age 13. During her teenage years\, she sang in a few R&B bands at musical functions in her community. She composed and sang her first piece with a band when she was 15. \nBut René put her musical aspirations aside to make room for the obligations and responsibilities of adulthood. She married a former bandmate when she was 18\, and by the mid-1990s\, she was the mother of two and working in a bank. When she was 41\, her older son convinced her to start singing again\, and she took a few tenuous steps into her local music scene\, singing for tips one night a week in a hotel bar. It would be several months before she actually earned any real living as a singer. \nRené made a series of profound course corrections that steered her back toward a full-time career in music. René’s self-produced CD\, Renaissance\, was released in 1999 and soon after in 2000\, she signed onto the MaxJazz label and recorded four more over the next four years. \nPerhaps more than most artists\, René understands music’s capacity to heal and inspire. Not only has she herself been the beneficiary of it\, but she has made every effort along the way to extend those same benefits to others. \nPrepaid Parking: $15.00

SUMMARY:PETER WHITE\, MINDI ABAIR\, VINCENT INGALA
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, Peter White has maintained a reputation as one of the most versatile and prolific acoustic guitarists on the contemporary jazz landscape. Armed with an unparalleled combination of lyricism and energy\, he combines elements of jazz\, pop and classical guitar to create a sound that is singular and at the same time accessible to a broad audience. \nBorn in 1954 in Luton\, a small town north of London\, White and his family moved to nearby Letchworth shortly after he was born. As a child\, he learned to play several musical instruments\, including the clarinet\, trombone\, violin and piano. And of course\, like so many youngsters growing up during the heyday of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones\, he gravitated to the guitar. \nHe learned his first chords on an acoustic guitar\, then bought his first electric guitar in his early teens and studied the recordings of the reigning guitar gods of the day – Jimi Hendrix\, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. But his musical aspirations ultimately veered back in an acoustic direction following an accident that doomed his beloved electric guitar. The axe was destroyed in a fire\, one that White’s younger brother Danny – an aspiring pianist – accidentally started. \n“The funny thing is that Danny didn’t actually admit to setting that fire for at least twenty-five years\,” says White. “I had been kind of obsessed with the electric guitar at that point in my life\, so that episode kind of forced me to go back to playing the acoustic. In retrospect\, that’s a good thing.” \nIndeed\, White’s interests after the accident shifted more toward the music of acoustic artists like Crosby\, Stills and Nash\, James Taylor\, and Joni Mitchell. Plugged or unplugged\, he had decided by his late teens that music was his calling\, and his first professional gig was at a holiday resort in England when he was 19 years old. \nBarely a year later\, he was invited to join Al Stewart’s band as a keyboardist for a tour of England\, Scotland\, and the U.S. in 1975. In addition to opening for artists like Linda Ronstadt\, Billy Joel and Queen\, White worked with Stewart in the studio in the making of Year of the Cat\, which became a huge hit for Stewart in 1976. The tour and the album marked the beginning of a twenty-year association with Stewart. In that time\, the two musicians co-wrote numerous songs\, including Stewart’s 1978 hit\, “Time Passages.” \nBy the beginning of the ‘80s\, White and Stewart had relocated to Los Angeles\, formed a band called Shot in the Dark\, and established a music publishing company called Lobster Music. Around the same time\, Danny White – he of the burning guitar incident several years earlier – formed a group called Matt Bianco\, which included a talented Polish singer named Basia Trzetrzelewska. Danny White and Basia splintered off to launch the singer’s solo career with the 1987 debut album\, Time and Tide\, which featured Peter White on guitar. \nAfter fifteen years as a backup musician and a session player\, White launched his solo recording career with the 1990 release of Reveillez-Vous (French for “Wake up\,” a title chosen by White in honor of his French mother). The album included several unused songs that White had written for Stewart\, and it became a favorite among contemporary jazz radio stations. \nHe followed with three records on the Sindrome label – Excusez-Moi (1991)\, Promenade (1993) and Reflections (1994) – before signing with Columbia for the 1996 release of Caravan of Dreams. He maintained an ambitious release schedule through the ‘90s and beyond\, but also found time to appear on recordings by many of his friends\, including Dave Koz\, Rick Braun\, Richard Elliot\, Jeff Golub\, Lee Ritenour\, Kirk Whalum\, Boney James and many others. \nOn the road\, he has participated in numerous “Guitars and Saxes” tours with the aforementioned players\, and has established an annual “Peter White Christmas Tour” – the latter enterprise fueled by the success of his two highly regarded holiday albums\, Songs of the Season (1997) and A Peter White Christmas (2007). \nGood Day\, released in 2009 on Peak Records\, a division of Concord Music Group\, was White’s first collection of original songs in several years. “I just started going through my backlog of material – songs that I’d never finished\, some going as far back as ten or fifteen years – and I discovered that I had a lot of gems that I really wanted to show to the world\,” he says. “I wanted to record them in my own time and in my own way\, without any outside influence or interference.” \nWhite released Here We Go in 2012 on Heads Up International\, a division of Concord Music Group. The 11-song set\, produced by White and DC (George Benson\, Larry Carlton\, Bob James\, Patty Austin)\, featured several high-profile guest musicians\, including saxophonists David Sanborn and Kirk Whalum\, and pianist Philippe Saisse\, and included a range of original material written in the recent and distant past. “I wanted variety\,” says White. “I wanted songs that moved me\, in the hopes that they’ll move the listener as well. I’m on a journey\, and I want to bring with me anyone who’s willing to follow.” \nSmile\, released on October 7\, 2014\, is the final CD in White’s trilogy of albums consisting entirely of his own material. Co-produced with DC\, the recording features ten tracks – some were written recently\, some White wrote along the way with close friends and some were from the vault. Special guests include Mindi Abair (vocals)\, Rick Braun (horns)\, Euge Groove (soprano sax) and Philippe Saisse (keyboards\, piano and orchestra programming). White’s daughter\, Charlotte\, plays violin on one song. \nIn a career that spans nearly four decades\, over a dozen solo recordings and countless performances\, White insists that it’s the faces in the crowd and the fans that keep the experience fresh. “I’ll play a live show\, and someone will come to me afterward and say\, ‘Oh\, I loved this CD\,’ or ‘This song helped me through a bad time\,’” he explains. “Or I get emails from people saying\, ‘Oh\, I love the way you covered one of my favorite songs on your record back in 1994.’ The idea that someone can write me an email and tell me about something I did on a record that was released fifteen years ago – you can’t buy that. That’s priceless. That’s what keeps me going – the idea that people out there really care about what I do\, the idea that I’ve made a difference for someone.” \nParking: $30.00 advanced purchase | $35.00 day of \nValet: $40.00 advanced purchase | $45.00 day of (if not sold out)

SUMMARY:TONY HIGHTOWER
DESCRIPTION:Singer/Songwriter Tony Hightower is taking up the mantle to be a bridge that ushers R&B audiences into Jazz…Real Jazz. With years of experience as a musical performer and actor with familiar roots that place him firmly within the music’s firmament\, Atlanta-native Hightower is still just getting started on this benevolent turn in his journey. And he is bringing a lot of young people with him. \n​His sophomore project\, LEGACY\, finds Hightower exploring Jazz vocal stylings from a dazzling prism of angles. The 10-song album moves confidently and assuredly from original compositions such as the soulful scat-laced “All to the Good\,” the seductive Brazilian bossa nova of “Rendezvous” and the tender carnal Jarreau-esque love beg “I Need You” to swingin’ covers of Earth\, Wind & Fire’s classic Skip Scarborough-penned “Can’t Hide Love\,” a mean shuffle boogie groove through Al Green’s “Love and Happiness” and a smoldering upright bass accompanied tiptoe through the 1929 Andy Razaf standard “Gee\, Baby\, Ain’t I Good To You” made further famous in 1944 by one of Hightower’s greatest and earliest Jazz vocal heroes\, Nat “King” Cole. That one’ll make the women wiggle.

SUMMARY:RUSSELL MALONE
DESCRIPTION:“Obviously\, we are in the capable hands of a master. Absolutely fluid touch and beautiful integration between moving lines and harmonic cadences. The sound of the instrument is well-balanced throughout the entire register. The relaxed quality of everything that’s being played gives it such a warm feeling. To play that stuff is extremely hard. This is an absolute master\, the best of the best.”— Kurt Rosenwinkel\, responding to Russell Malone’s solo performance of “Remind Me” on Playground [MaxJazz\, 2004]\, in a DownBeat Blindfold Test. \nRussell Malone is one of the signature guitar players of his generation. The several recordings since 1992\, Malone is as well-known on the international circuit for helming a world-class quartet and trio as he is for his long-standing participation in Ron Carter’s Golden Striker Trio\, and his recent consequential contribution to the musical production of the likes of Sonny Rollins and Dianne Reeves\, who recruited Malone for his singular tone\, refined listening skills\, limitless chops\, and efflorescent imagination. \nIn all these circumstances\, Malone addresses the tradition on its own terms\, refracting the vocabularies and syntax of such heroes as Charlie Christian\, Chet Atkins\, George Van Eps\, Johnny Smith\, Wes Montgomery\, Grant Green\, Kenny Burrell\, Pat Martino\, and George Benson into an argot entirely his own. A master of all tempos\, a relentless swinger\, he spins his stories —in idioms ranging from the urban and downhome blues\, country\, gospel\, various corners of the American Songbook\, and hardcore jazz—with a soulful\, instantly recognizable instrumental voice\, and seasons them with sophisticated harmonies that are never “too hip for the room.” \n“I take pride on being open enough to play with anybody\,” says Malone\, citing encounters with such diverse artists as B.B. King\, Andy Williams\, James “Blood” Ulmer\, and Ornette Coleman. “I love to swing\, but I won’t turn up my nose at any style of music—or any other musician—because it’s different. I’ll play with anybody\, if the music is good.” \nTicket Fee: $7.00 | $15 food/beverage minimum per person not included in ticket price.

SUMMARY:BENNY BENACK III
DESCRIPTION:The Band: Benny Benack III – trumpet & vocals | TBA – piano | Russell Hall – bass | Joe Peri – drums \nBy age 32\, Emmy-nominated trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be that rarest of talents: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard\, but also a singer with a sly\, mature\, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold\, performing standards and his own astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. This duel-threat ability was recognized by the 2022 Downbeat Critics Poll where he appeared as not only the #2 Rising Star Male Vocalist\, but a top Rising Star Trumpeter as well. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all\, he’s a highly capable pianist as well. \nBenny has performed internationally as an Emcee/Host for the Youtube sensation Postmodern Jukebox\, and achieved his own viral success amassing millions of views for his crooning alongside the Grammy-award winning “8-Bit Big Band”. In early 2020 he released A Lot of Livin’ to Do\, the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut One of a Kind. This sophomore effort\, richly varied in mood and brimming with bop inflection\, features bassist extraordinaire and Jazz ambassador Christian McBride (whose Grammy-award winning Big Band frequently calls upon Benny in the trumpet section) and drummer/producer Ulysses Owens\, Jr.\, as well as the radiant Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes. His vocalese duet on “Social Call” from this album alongside fellow young star vocalist Veronica Swift became an instant smash hit single\, being transcribed and learned by Jazz vocalists around the world. \nAlongside his global touring as a straight-ahead/contemporary bandleader\, Benny has appeared as a trumpet soloist in more commercial circles alongside Josh Groban\, Ben Folds\, fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi\, Ann Hampton Callaway and more. He’s been featured at Birdland\, Jazz @ Lincoln Center\, Mezzrow\, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle and other leading New York venues\, and has also been a special guest with the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops Orchestra\, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and the Minsk Philharmonic Orchestra. He made his television debut in NBC’s short-lived\, SNL-inspired variety show “Maya & Marty” playing in the in-studio band led by acclaimed bassist & Broadway arranger Charlie Rosen. More recent TV credits include “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” where he frequently performs in the House Band. His global recognition has been bolstered by recent live-streaming concerts at Smalls Jazz Club\, where he maintains a weekly residency\, as well as frequent appearances on fellow young lion Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” weekly show.

SUMMARY:VERONICA SWIFT
DESCRIPTION:Veronica Swift’s new eponymously titled album\, her third for Mack Avenue Records\, is a masterful coming-out story. On her previous albums\, Confessions (2019) and This Bitter Earth (2021)\, she ascended to the upper echelon of early 21st century jazz singers because of her virtuosic brilliance\, interpretive ingenuity\, bracing songwriting\, and keen arrangements. Simply put\, Swift is not only one of the most dazzling singers to emerge in her generation\, she’s one of the most versatile. \nWhile her first two albums solidified her position in modern jazz\, Veronica Swift shows that she’s more than a jazz singer\, exploring French and Italian opera\, European classical music\, bossa nova\, blues\, industrial rock\, funk\, and vaudeville. She pulls the feat off without the results sounding callow or pastiche. Swift’s expansive artistic voice remains firmly intact regardless of genre. \nSwift describes this personal artistic statement on her new album as “transgenre.” “I grew up immersed in the culture of jazz music\, blessed to have had some of the greats as mentors\, and I felt a deep familial duty to uphold that tradition\,” she says\, reflecting on her parents – jazz singer and educator\, Stephanie Nakasian\, and bebop pianist\, Hod O’Brien. \n“But as rooted in jazz as I’ve been\, there’s a uniquely visceral power in rock and soul music that’s always fueled my creative passion\, and rather than mask or confine that part of my identity\, the people I admire most show themselves unabashedly and that’s the kind of tradition I want to be a part of.”

SUMMARY:THE BAD PLUS
DESCRIPTION:The Bad Plus \nReid Anderson bass\nDavid King drums\nChris Speed tenor saxophone\nBen Monder guitar \nAfter working as a trio for nearly 20 years\, the Bad Plus now is a quartet with saxophonist Chris Speed and guitarist Ben Monder joining the group in 2021. Compared with the group’s original piano trio instrumentation\, the addition of saxophone and electric guitar allows TBP to explore new degrees of melodic lyricism\, and a broader sonic palette. These new members have a long history with the original members and are prolific performers in their own right. Monder played with Paul Motion and is a current member of the Maria Schneider Orchestra\, and even contributed guitar charts to David Bowie’s final album. Speed is a longtime NYC resident with a massive list of eclectic ensembles with which he performs from folk to avant garde to jazz. \nIn contrast to the large venues where the Bad Plus will be performing in the region (Portland and Seattle over 800 seats\, Bend 450 seats)\, The Jazz Station\, with 70 seats\, offers an intimate experience unlike any other on their current tour.
