SUMMARY:KENNY BANKS JR.
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Kenny Banks Jr.\, a resident of Atlanta\, GA has earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic jazz artists in the Southeast. Kenny was a finalist in the 2019 American Pianists Awards jazz competition and performed to great acclaim in solo and trio formats. \nHe has traveled abroad performing and recording around the world with a wide variety of artists in the jazz\, gospel\, Afro-Cuban and hip-hop scenes. These artists include Kurt Elling\, Keyon Harrold\, Jazzmeia Horn\, Theo Croker\, Jeff Tain Watts\, Stefan Harris\, Russell Malone\, Gerald Albright\, Charlie Hunter\, Jennifer Holliday\, David Sanchez\, Kim Burrell\, Dottie Peoples\, Phiife from “A Tribe Called Quest”\, Eight Ball & MJG and Queen Latifah. \nBanks is noted for his blended technique in mixing jazz and gospel styles. Downbeat Magazine describes his playing as “gospel and blues-infused” and calls his arrangements “thrilling\, modern and surprising.” Jazziz Magazine notes his “deeply embodied gospel and soul roots” with “supple phrasing and effortless command of late 20th century harmony.” \nKenny Banks Jr expresses himself compositionally from a broad range of music. KJO’s Live at Lucille’s states\, “His music is at once sophisticated\, spirited\, spontaneous and brilliantly executed.” “Embrace the sound” says Kenny. “This way of thinking aids me in my approach\, helping me to view situations from a state of optimism\, on and off the bandstand.” \nCover: $32.26

SUMMARY:TESSA SOUTER
DESCRIPTION:The vocalist celebrates the release of her album Release Party of Shadows and Silence: The Eric Satie Project. She brings with her pianist Luis Perdomo\, drummer Billy Drummond\, bassist Boris Kozlov\, plus special guest saxophonist Steve Wilson. \nNew York-based\, London-born of Afro-Trinidadian and English parents\, New York Times critics pick Tessa Souter grew up surrounded by music. Her mother\, a talented amateur singer\, taught her to sing when she was three\, and she took piano lessons from aged eight to 12\, before switching to the guitar\, learning by ear to accompany herself singing songs by\, among others\, Sandy Denny and Jacquie McPhee of the jazz-folk bands Fairport Convention and Pentangle. \n“My piano teacher had advised me to take up singing when she heard my voice so\, when around that age\, my mother told me that my birth father had been a singer\, it felt like a connection to this person I had never known\,” says Tessa. When she finally met him in her late 20s\, the first thing he did was sing to her in the street. “Just the sound of his beautiful tenor\, vibrated every bone in my body.” \nTickets: $30.00

SUMMARY:CHRISTIAN SANDS
DESCRIPTION:The Steinway Artist and Grammy Nominee is an emerging jazz force. His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception\, accomplishing a much deeper musical goal: a fresh look at the entire language of jazz.  Christian says\, “My music is about teaching the way of jazz and keeping it alive.”  Whether it’s stride\, swing\, bebop\, progressive\, fusion\, Brazilian or Afro-Cuban\, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present… and for the future.  He expresses himself through an extensive vocabulary of patterns\, textures and structures\, all the while maintaining a strong sense of understatement\, sensitivity\, taste and swing — hallmarks for as long as he has been playing. \nFrom a very early age\, Christian possessed an insatiable appetite for music.  He was enrolled in music classes at age 4 and wrote his first composition at age 5.  He started playing professionally at the age of 10\, and studied at the Neighborhood Music School and the Educational Center for the Arts in New Haven\, CT.  He received his Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Arts degrees from the Manhattan School of Music.  For his participation on the MSM “Kenya Revisited” album\, Sands received a Grammy Nomination for Best Latin Piano Solo. \nSince arriving on the scene\, Sands has shared the stage with many jazz luminaries as Wynton Marsalis\, Diane Reeves\, Shelia E\, Warren Wolf\, Tia Fuller\, Gary Burton\, Stefan Harris\, Teri Lynne Carrington\, Jason Moran\, Geri Allen\, James Moody\, Bill Evans (sax)\, Russell Malone\, Terrance Blanchard\, Louis Hayes\, Patti Austin\, Kurt Elling and Dee Dee Bridgewater.  He served as the Creative Ambassador for the Erroll Garner foundation\, Artist in Residence for Jazz in July Education program at University of Massachusetts\, Artist in Residence for Monterey Jazz Festival for 2020-2022 – he was the Creative Director for the ‘Monterey Festival Band on Tour’ 2022-2023. \nChristian provides a soulful melodic touch on S. Epatha Merkerson’s documentary\, “Contradictions of Fairhope\,” a soundtrack recorded with McBride and a melodic piano introduction to Netflix’s Biopic documentary “Rustin” of which he recorded with Branford Marsalis.  He was named one of the future rising stars by Wynton Marsalis in Jet Magazine.  Vanity Fair’s “Jazz Youth-Quake” also named him as a future jazz star.  He was finalist for the 2015 Cole Porter Jazz Fellowship Award sponsored by the America Pianist Association. \nJust embarking on his 30s\, Sands has already enjoyed a remarkable career trajectory including a 2013 Grammy nomination with renowned Bassist Christian McBride and 2021 Grammy Nomination for Best Jazz Instrumental Composition and 52nd Annual NAACP Image Award Nominee for Outstanding Jazz Album Instrumental for his third album “Be Water” recording for Mack Avenue Records. \nHis music has taken him to many international stages.  In 2023 he received Chevalier de L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres\, rank of Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters\, from France Minister of Culture. \nThe Band: \nChristian Sands – bandleader\, pianist \nRyan Sands – Drummer \nGilad Hekelsman – Guitar \nScott Colley – Bass \nCover: $40.61 ~ $50.91 | Including Fees
