SUMMARY:CHARLIE PARKER JAZZ FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:Featuring: The Cookers | Ndudzo Makhathini Trio | Endea Owens & The Cookout | Akua Allrich & The Tribe | DJ Sets by Uptown Vinyl Supreme \nAs part of the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival\, the Cookers headline a group of innovative artists that embody a sense of community. Most of this super septet—comprising Billy Harper\, Cecil McBee\, George Cables\, Eddie Henderson\, Billy Hart\, David Weiss\, and Donald Harrison—are veterans of the heady mid-’60s when hard bops gave way to the next wave of jazz\, and have been pushing the limits of the sound ever since. Endea Owens and the Cookout is led by the titular house bassist for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Hailing from Detroit\, Juilliard graduate Owens has found a home in Harlem\, where she hosted community cookouts during the COVID-19 pandemic\, playing music with her band of fellow virtuosos and handing out hundreds of free meals. Nduduzo Makhathini has become a rising star of South African jazz in both art and academia; the award-winning pianist\, improviser\, healer\, and scholar brings his latest trio to perform selections from The Spirit Of Ntu\, his 2022 album for Blue Note Africa. Rounding out the bill is Akua Allrich and The Tribe\, led by the jazz and pan-African vocalist with deep musical roots in the blues\, soul\, and R&B. Allrich and her group the Tribe have drawn accolades for their annual events honoring the defining female voices of Black music\, but are also known to craft soul-stirring originals. \nPlus\, see “We’re Outside”\, an exhibition of 10 local artists\, curated by Fable Jones Studio\, August\, 26th\, 3-7pm on the west lawn of Marcus Garvey Park (123rd & Mt Morris Park West side) hosted by Heath Gallery and MMPCIA.

SUMMARY:AKUA ALLRICH
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Parker Jazz Festival 2023 \nJazz vocalist and DC-native Akua Allrich has proven herself to be a musician of extraordinary talent and crowd-moving passion. With finesse and charisma\, this vocalist\, composer and teacher\, has successfully etched out a place for her unique musical expression\, electrifying audiences in and around the nation’s capital with sold-out performances. \nWith the launch of her independently produced albums\, A Peace of Mine in 2010\, Uniquely Standard\, Akua Allrich Live! in 2012\, and her latest release Soul Singer\, the young artist’s music and concerts created a significant buzz with critics and music-lovers alike. Said Franz Matzner of All About Jazz\, “Akua Allrich’s music flows with a free\, natural energy as engaging as her equally ingenuous personality.” Her appeal soon reached across US borders and attained international attention. In early 2011\, Allrich signed a distribution deal with Japanese record label AGATE/Inpartmaint Inc. Her debut CD\, A Peace of Mine\, was released in Japan during their “Golden Week” of May 2011. Music lovers and tastemakers from around the world expressed their appreciation and excitement for this new music. \nAllrich’s style is fluid and ever evolving. Her musical roots run deeply into blues\, soul and rhythm and blues\, with a clear grounding in jazz and pan-African music. She sings in many languages including Portuguese\, French\, Spanish\, English\, Xhosa\, and Twi. Given her ability to capture the essence of a broad range of musical genres\, Allrich is often likened to legendary artists such as Oscar Brown\, Jr.\, Miriam Makeba and Nina Simone. She has developed popular tribute programs involving the latter two women and other great African American women of jazz. \nAkua Allrich was educated at Howard University\, where she obtained her BM in jazz vocals and a master’s degree in social work. She was taught\, coached and mentored by talented musicians such as world-renowned singer Kehembe V. Eichelberger\, singer/drummer Grady Tate\, and pianist Charles Covington. \nJoining her is The Tribe: Kris Funn ~ bass\, Samuel Prather ~ keys\, Tyler Leak ~ drums

He is the founding director of the jazz program at the Lucy Moses School at Kaufman Center in Manhattan where he teaches. \nHis book Talk Jazz: Guitar (Mel Bay\, 2004) includes a CD with a removable guitar track of Ben-Hur performing the exercises in the book with Tardo Hammer on piano\, Earl May on bass\, and Leroy Williams on drums. \nHis album Anna’s Dance was named by The Village Voice one of the best jazz albums of 2001. All About Jazz called him “a virtuoso guitarist with impeccable swing”. In 2000\, he won the Jazziz reader poll for “Best New Talent”.

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.

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:JOE ALTERMAN
DESCRIPTION:Joe Alterman Album Release Show \nAtlanta native Joe Alterman expresses a certain upbeat naivete\, with a broad smile and bright eyes that make you feel welcome. One would not guess that this is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his music as “happy music with tasty meat on the bones\,” Les McCann states “Joe’s on a ‘blow your mind’ level\,” and Ahmad Jamal calls him “a very special artist.” Journalist Nat Hentoff championed three of Alterman’s albums\, as well as his writing (Joe wrote liner notes to three Wynton Marsalis/JLCO albums)\, calling one of Joe’s columns “one of the very best pieces on the essence of jazz\, the spirit of jazz\, that I’ve ever read\, and I’m not exaggerating.” \nJoe Alterman began at NYU with a BA and Masters in Jazz Piano from NYU and has since performed at many world renowned venues including the Kennedy Center\, Lincoln Center\, Birdland and Blue Note  alongside Houston Person\, Les McCann\, Dick Gregory\, Ramsey Lewis\, and his own trio\, among others. Downbeat describes his sound as “rooted in the blues\, and with a touch reminiscent of the great pianists of the 1950s—Red Garland\, Ahmad Jamal\, Bill Evans.” It is clear Joe hits all of the necessary points for Jazz critics and fans alike. \nBut there is more to the story\, of course. The 21st century has brought another transition for this thing called jazz; in one moment we see the push and pull between tradition and progression\, and in another we see Pop and Hip-Hop musicians emulating and sampling. In Joe Alterman we find none of this struggle; the music just sounds good. Our conscious faculties are instantly disabled as we tap our feet\, feeling the intent and joy of his playing. An old classic is new when you feel good in the moment. Or\, as Hentoff wrote about Alterman in the Wall Street Journal\, “Alterman’s continually evolving presence on the jazz scene surely makes people smile and\, if the room is right\, dance. There’ll be no need for any last rites of jazz.”

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.
