SUMMARY:MONTY ALEXANDER
DESCRIPTION:Nearly sixty years after he moved to the United States from Kingston\, Jamaica\, his hometown\, GRAMMY® nominated pianist Monty Alexander is an American classic\, touring the world relentlessly with various projects\, delighting a global audience drawn to his vibrant personality and soulful message. A perennial favorite at Jazz festivals and venues worldwide and at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he has appeared 23 times since 1976\, his spirited conception is one informed by the timeless verities: endless melody-making\, effervescent grooves\, sophisticated voicings\, a romantic spirit\, and a consistent predisposition. \nIn the course of any given performance\, Alexander applies those aesthetics to a repertoire spanning a broad range of jazz and Jamaican musical expressions—the American songbook and the blues\, gospel and bebop\, calypso and reggae. Documented on more than 75 recordings and cited as the fifth greatest jazz pianist ever in The Fifty Greatest Jazz Piano Players of All Time (Hal Leonard Publishing)\, the Jamaican government designated Alexander Commander in the Order of Distinction in 2000 and conferred on him the national honor of the Order of Jamaica in 2022 for “Sterling Contributions to the Promotions of Jamaican Music and the Jazz Genre Interpretations Globally”. \nThe Trio:\nMonty Alexander\, piano\nLorin Cohen\, bass\nJason Brown\, drums \nCover: $45.00 ~ $55.00 +fees | Streaming: $15.00 +fee

SUMMARY:VANESSA RUBIN & HER TRIO
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.

Additional homespun influences include the melodic bell tone clarity of a young Capital Records recording artist\, Nancy Wilson\, the fire of Lambert\, Hendricks & Ross\, the sweet sounds of trumpeter Blue Mitchell as well as her love of the Motown Sound…especially girl groups like the Supremes. \nRubin takes the stage of the Jellife Theatre for a Benefit Concert with  proceeds from the evening will support Karamu’s artistic productions\, arts education programs\, workforce development initiatives\, community engagement efforts\, and the preservation of Black theatre and storytelling.
