SUMMARY:ANAT COHEN QUARTETINHO
DESCRIPTION:Following great success at some of the world’s great jazz festivals and venues with her Tentet\, Grammy-nominated clarinetist and composer Anat Cohen shifts her focus to an intimate group sound with her newest band\, the endlessly colorful Quartetinho (pronounced “quar-te-CHIN-yo\,” i.e.\, little quartet). \nThe group of New York-based international multi-instrumentalist-virtuosos are all drawn from the ranks of her aforementioned Tentet. The idea of instrumental doubling to achieve a wide stylistic range comes from the larger group\, and the spirit of this cross-cultural / stylistic ensemble ring true throughout their performances. They share a deep love for music in all its heterogeneity and it’s all amply represented in both recordings and the band’s own live show. The result is boundlessly melodic and lyrical\, with a wide array of timbres and subtle details of orchestration. \nThe Group:\nClarinet: Anat Cohen\nBass: Tal Mashiach\nPiano/Accordion: Vitor Gonçalves\nVibraphone/Percussion: James Shipp \nCover: $40.61 ~ $50.91

SUMMARY:LAVAHI
DESCRIPTION:Lavahi is a scholar-artist on a mission to better society from the inside out. Through her music\, scholarship\, and performance\, she is building a platform to nourish the heart and mind\, empathize our human experiences\, and vibe together. As a daughter of jazz\, the culture heavily informs her ideology and influences her sound. Acrobatic scatting\, compelling chords\, and the art of improvisation evoke that classic traditional aesthetic and set her contemporary sound apart from the norm of mainstream neo-soul\, hip hop\, and R&B. And with her satisfying blend of analog and digital sounds\, Lavahi shows that the lineage of Black sound is not linear but ever folding and stretching. \nShe produces\, plays flute and piccolo\, and arranges. She has added her unique sound to national and international projects in genres varying from rap to film scores to alternative. Lavahi loves the studio and feels most natural when recording independently; but her second home is the collaborative live performance of the stage. She has been featured at venues such as Blues Alley\, Bethesda Blues and Jazz\, Kat’s Cafe\, Porter-Sanford III\, St. James Live!\, City Winery\, and more\, and she has even stepped into the world of acting via musicals and stage plays. \nCover: $25.00

SUMMARY:SABERTOOTH
DESCRIPTION:Founded around 1990\, Sabertooth is led by two saxophonists:  Cameron Pfiffner & Pat Mallinger. The band started out with the unique pairing of its two lead reedmen at an old musicians hang called Jazz Bulls in Lincoln Park West neighborhood of Chicago. From that night’s collaboration the idea of Sabertooth began to take shape with a driving force behind the widely varied stylings best summed up as\, just groove it. \nThe group has often ventured beyond soul-jazz and hard bop and moved into post-bop and modal territory with John Coltrane’s modal recordings of the early to mid-’60s influencing the groups sound. Sabertoothis both a post-bop group and a soul-jazz/hard bop group with a highly diverse repertoire that includes many original compositions and jazz classics by Duke Ellington\, Horace Silver\, Wayne Shorter\, Lester Young\, John Coltrane\, as well as covers by the Beatles\, Grateful Dead\, Bob Dylan\, Allman Brothers\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, and Bob Marley. \nSpecial invited guests who have performed with the group have included Harry Connick Jr.\, Kurt Elling\, Joe Lovano\, Roy Hargrove\, Wynton Marsalis Band\, Jack McDuff\, Joey DeFrancesco\, Umphrey’s Mcgee Band\, and many others. \n\nShowtimes: 6:00pm-7:15pm & 8:15pm-9:30pm \n\nCover: $15.00

SUMMARY:MARCUS MILLER\, TANK & THE BANGAS\, SOUL REBELS\, DJ LOGIC
DESCRIPTION:The opening of our free concert series\, SummerStage and long standing programming partner\, Blue Note Jazz Festival\, has assembled a group of performers that stretch the boundaries of jazz and funk to incorporate the wide variety of African Diaspora sounds. “Laid Black” multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller has collaborated closely with artists who can be called legends without any hyperbole: Miles Davis\, Herbie Hancock\, Luther Vandross\, Wayne Shorter\, and David Sanborn– to name a few. \nThe two-time GRAMMY winning artist’s chops are deadly serious\, but he still knows how to keep it loose\, counting “Da Butt\,” the tongue-in-cheek anthem from Spike Lee’s School Daze\, among his impressive songwriting credits. The evening also features two New Orleans-based SummerStage alumni: Tank and the Bangas\, the NPR Tiny Desk contest-winning ensemble that fuses funk\, soul\, hip-hop\, rock\, and spoken-word poetry into an unforgettable performance\, fresh off a GRAMMY win for leading lady Tank’s spoken word album; and The Soul Rebels\, an eight-piece ensemble revolutionizing the conventional brass band framework to inject new life into sounds from across the pop spectrum. DJ Logic will be on the ones and twos between sets. \nCover: Free
