SUMMARY:KAMASI WASHINGTON & AMI TAF RA
DESCRIPTION:There are few artists in the world who can do what Kamasi Washington does in a room this size. Up close\, with Ami Taf Ra beside him\, his towering saxophone meets her Moroccan gnawa\, Arabic vocals\, and gospel-soaked spiritual jazz\, and you feel every note. \nSome collaborations feel inevitable in hindsight. Ami Taf Ra and Kamasi Washington’s is one of them. This November\, the North African\, Los Angeles based vocalist and composer joins Grammy winning saxophonist and producer Kamasi Washington for a rare live presentation of Ami’s debut album\, The Prophet and the Madman\, a project Washington produced and released through Brainfeeder. \nThe record itself defies easy categorization\, and that’s the point. Moroccan Gnawa rhythms meet Arabic musical tradition\, gospel\, soul\, and spiritual jazz\, all in service of a meditation on duality\, healing\, and ancestral memory. Inspired in part by Kahlil Gibran’s writing\, the album gives Ami’s operatic\, genre defying voice room to move between whispered intimacy and full theatrical release. It’s earned the attention to match: a Libera Award nomination for Best Spiritual Album\, a spot on NPR’s Best Songs of 2025 for the track “Gnawa\,” and a place among Stereogum’s Best New Artists of 2025. \nOnstage\, the Ami and Washington partnership becomes something else entirely. Their work together on “How I Became a Madman” captures the tension between inner chaos and clarity better than most records manage in a full tracklist\, and that same electricity runs through Washington’s expansive musical universe\, an artist whose reach spans jazz\, soul\, hip hop\, and film scoring. Ami brings her own well earned global résumé to the stage\, with performances alongside the Dutch Royal Metropole Orchestra\, at North Sea Jazz\, Blue Note Tokyo\, Ronnie Scott’s\, the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival\, and City Winery Boston. \nTickets: $78.00 ~ $102.00 | Use code KAMASI30 at checkout for 30% off.  Offer available while tickets last.

SUMMARY:CHARLES LLOYD QUARTET
DESCRIPTION:Charles Lloyd\, is an NEA Jazz Master and recipient of the prestigious French honor\, l’Ordre Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres. Voted DownBeat magazine’s Artist of the Year in 1967\, Charles Lloyd was again voted Artist of the Year in 2023. And in 2024 he was honored with a rare DownBeat Critic’s Poll quadruple crown; Hall of Fame\, Artist of the Year\, Album of the Year\, and Tenor Saxophonist of the Year–John Coltrane being the only other artist to receive that honor. Lloyd has a legendary history in the music world\, and could certainly be in a position to slow down and rest on his laurels. The depth of his expression reflects a lifetime of experience. But looking back has never been of great interest to this tender warrior; “Go forward\,” is his motto\, as he keeps shifting to a higher\, well calibrated gear. \nIn 1956 Lloyd moved to Los Angeles and graduated from the University of Southern California. During this period Lloyd played in Gerald Wilson’s big band\, and formed his own group that included Billy Higgins\, Don Cherry\, Bobby Hutcherson\, Scott LaFaro\, and Terry Trotter. Lloyd joined Chico Hamilton in 1960. His influence as a composer quickly pushed the group in a more progressive post-bop direction when Hamilton asked him to be the group’s “music director.” In 1964 Lloyd left Hamilton’s group to join alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley. He recorded two albums as a leader for Columbia Records\, Discovery and Of Course\, Of Course; his sidemen included Gabor Szabo\, Don Friedman\, Herbie Hancock\, Ron Carter\, Tony Williams\, and Pete La Roca. In 1965 Lloyd formed a quartet with pianist\, Keith Jarrett\, bassist\, Cecil McBee\, drummer\, Jack DeJohnette. It was a meeting of straight-ahead post-bop\, Free jazz\, rock\, and world music. Their music quickly caught the attention of jazz fans and critics. They achieved crossover success with young rock fans and became the first jazz group to play in the famed Fillmore. The album Forest Flower\, Live at Monterey\, sold over one million copies. \nThe Quartet\nCharles Lloyd ~ Saxophone\nBill Frisell ~ Guitar\nLarry Grenadier ~ Bass\nKweku Sumbry ~ Drums \nCover: $89.12 – $111.78 | Plus $20.00 per person
