SUMMARY:STEVE TURRE SEXTET | SANYA RECORD RELEASE
DESCRIPTION:Steve Turre – trombone & shells | Nicholas Payton – trumpet | Ron Blake – saxophones | Christian Sands – piano | Buster Williams – drums | Lenny White – drums\n\nSteve Turre\, trombone master and innovating performer on seashells\, celebrates the release of his exciting new album\, Saynas\, which is surprisingly his first live recording in 50 years as a leader. Its title was inspired by the brightly colored robes of the Sanyasi\, Hindu monks who have renounced worldly goods and pursuits. It also happens to be Turre’s first recorded composition and first solo on Woody Shaw’s 1975 release The Moontrane. Downbeat says\, “Few artists ‘own’ their instrument to the degree that trombonist Steve Turre does. Whether playing the music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk\, performing as a member of the Saturday Night Live house band\, or with one of his own units\, his voice is distinctive and memorable.” He convenes an impressive and historic sextet for the occasion with music legends bassist Buster Williams and drummer Lenny White\, joined by trumpeter Nicholas Payton\, saxophonist and SNL band colleague Ron Blake\, and pianist Christian Sands.\n\n“The jazz world needs more Steve Turres. A powerful technician with a quick wit\, Turre is perhaps the leading trombonist of this generation.”
– Rolling Stone\n\n*PLEASE NOTE: All 7PM and 9PM shows at Smoke are Dinner Shows

SUMMARY:THE HEAVY HITTERS
DESCRIPTION:Mike LeDonne piano | Eric Alexander tenor saxophone | Vincent Herring alto saxophone | Sean Jones trumpet | Alexander Claffy bass | Kenny Washington drums \nThe Heavy Hitters is the eponymous album from a brand-new sextet featuring some of the most established players in the jazz game. The group is led by Mike LeDonne\, New York-based bop pianist best known for his sideman work with Milt Jackson and Benny Golson. His partner in crime\, Eric Alexander (himself a first-rate soloist working with Harold Mabern amongst others) was his quartet-mate on a well-received series of releases on the Venus label in the mid-2000’s. The two friends came together for this\, their first sextet release as leaders\, featuring a set composed entirely of originals. \nThe music is built to tickle your mind\, hit you in the heart and get your head swaying back and forth. The Heavy Hitters have been swinging hard their whole lives! It’s a true “Jazz” sound\, recorded by some of the greatest jazz musicians of their generation. \n“Together\, these two ‘Heavy Hitters’ offer us a smokin’ hot production featuring five other heavy-hitters and a product plush with crème de la crème of both musicianship and original compositions.” – Dee Dee McNeil\, Musical Memoirs

SUMMARY:JASON MARSALIS
DESCRIPTION:Jason Marsalis – Vibraphone | Adam Shulman – Piano | David Ewell – Bass | Jaz Sawyer – Drums \nFrom a tender young age it was clear that Jason Marsalis had what it took to be great. Jason is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis and his wife Dolores\, and the youngest sibling of Wynton\, Branford and Delfeayo. Together\, the four brothers and their patriarch Ellis\, comprise New Orleans venerable first family of jazz. \nEllis and Dolores began to cultivate Jason’s interest in music at age three\, with the purchase of a toy set of drums. Jason is fond of telling the story of a game he and his parents would play with the drums. “When I was three\, my parents bought me a toy drum set and the used to introduce me to an\nimaginary audience. They would say\, ‘Ladies and gentleman introducing the fabulous Jason!’ and I would come out and start banging away much to my parents delight. I too enjoyed it to the point that I started to go up to my parents unsolicited and say\, ‘Dad\, introduce me again!’” \nBy age six\, not only had Jason gotten his first real drum set\, but he was also taking lessons from the legendary New Orleans drummer James Black. At age seven he was sitting in with his father’s jazz group\, as well as playingwith his trombonist brother Delfeayo. Jason was progressing so rapidly as a drummer that in 1984 his father started using him consistently on engagements. Jason was starting to become a seasoned road veteran before the age of nine\, even traveling to the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston for older brother Delfeayo’s recital. \nThough Jason had also taken up violin at age five\, drums remained his primary focus throughout his grade school years. However\, in his last year living in Richmond\, VA\,it was as a member of a junior youth orchestra that he first discovered the percussion section. The following year\, Jason gave up the violin and focused exclusively on percussion. In 1991\, he auditioned and was accepted to the acclaimed New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts High School (NOCCA). Throughout his high school years he continued to hone his skills by playing gigs with his father and brothers\, as well as studying orchestral percussion techniques at the venerable Eastern Music Festival. Shortly after graduation from NOCCA in 1995\, Marsalis ascended to the drum throne of a new group lead by virtuoso pianist and former sideman for Wynton Marsalis\, Marcus Roberts. Despite a demanding touring schedule with Roberts\, Marsalis furthered his educational goals by attending Loyola University in New Orleans\, as well as studying composition with notable classical composer\, Roger Dickerson. While Marsalis made appearances with such international jazz luminaries as Joe Henderson and Lionel Hampton\, he was visible on the New Orleans scene working with a diverse cross section of bands from Casa Samba (Brazilian)\, Neslort (jazz fusion) Summer Stages (children’s theater)\, Dr. Michael White (traditional jazz) and many others. It was in 1998 that he co-founded the Latin-jazz group Los Hombres Calientes. While recording two albums with the group\, Marsalis also produced two albums under his own name\, Year of the Drummer (1998) and Music in Motion (2000)\, as well as producing reissues and current recordings of his father on their self-owned label\, ELM Records.
