SUMMARY:MONTY ALEXANDER
DESCRIPTION:Grammy nominated pianist Monty Alexander was born on June 6\, 1944 (D-Day!) in Kingston\, Jamaica and is one of today’s most sought-after pianists\, touring the world relentlessly with various projects\, delighting a global audience drawn to his vibrant personality and soulful message. He began playing the piano at the age of four. Monty is such a virtuoso on his instrument that he can express each of his improvisational ideas at any time. Swinging style\, combined with his vitality and subtlety\, is defined by his creativity\, rhythmic strength and clearly accentuated sounds. Even Frank Sinatra commented “this guy is like dynamite”. In a career spanning seven decades\, he has built a reputation exploring the worlds of American jazz\, popular song\, and the music of his native Jamaica\, finding in each a sincere spirit of musical expression. \nHis musical collaborations span multiple genres and styles. His projects have been as varied as assisting Natalie Cole in her tribute album to her father\, Nat “King” Cole in 1991 (that album\, “Unforgettable”\, won seven Grammy awards)\, performing George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” under the direction of Bobby McFerrin at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland\, and recording the piano track for the film score of Clint Eastwood’s “Bird”\, a movie about the life of jazz titan Charlie Parker. Monty has performed and recorded with artists from every corner of the musical universe: Frank Sinatra\, Ray Brown\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Sonny Rollins\, Clark Terry\, Victor Gaskin\, Milt Jackson\, Ernie Wilkins\, Herb Ellis\, Jeff Hamilton\, Quincy Jones\, Ernest Ranglin\, Barbara Hendricks\, Sly Dunbar\, and Robbie Shakespeare\, among many others. In 2000 and 2018 Monty Alexander was awarded the title of Commander in the Order of Distinction by the Jamaican government for outstanding services to Jamaica in his capacity as worldwide music ambassador. Alexander maintains a rigorous touring schedule worldwide\, from jazz clubs to concert halls and playing at Jazz Festivals from Switzerland to South Africa\, Japan and Australia. \nTo date Monty Alexander has recorded over 75 albums as a leader. Shortly before his 80th birthday this upcoming June\, Monty and his trio bring the 49th International Jazzfestival Bern to a close – on a high note!

SUMMARY:GREGORY PORTER & THE BAYLOR PROJECT
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed singer-songwriter Gregory Porter was raised in Bakersfield\, California\, and he cites the Bakersfield Southern Gospel sound as well as his mother’s Nat King Cole record collection as fundamental influences on his own sound. In 2013 he released his breakout Blue Note debut Liquid Spirit\, which sold more than a million albums and earned Porter his first Grammy Award\, with NPR declaring him “America’s next great jazz singer.” \nHis 2016 follow-up Take Me to the Alley won Porter his second Grammy for Best Vocal Jazz Album and firmly established him as his generation’s most soulful jazz singer-songwriter. His 2021 release Still Rising collects new songs\, covers\, duets\, and a selection of his much-loved favorite songs. \nFeaturing Jean Baylor and Marcus Baylor\, The Baylor Project is a duo built on love\, family\, faith\, culture\, and community. Their debut\, The Journey\, garnered two Grammy nominations. Their second album\, Generations (2021)\, earned the duo its first NAACP Image Award win for Outstanding Jazz Album-Vocal and its fourth Grammy nomination. \nMarcus and Jean’s combined musicianship is unmatched. Their dynamic performances are soulful to the bone. The Baylors will raise you up and inspire you to clap along with them to a swinging mid-tempo tune. Yet\, at a moments’ notice\, you may be moved to tears when they change the atmosphere with a spiritual song that will stir the emotions.
