SUMMARY:ORRIN EVANS
DESCRIPTION:During his kaleidoscopic quarter-century as a professional jazz musician\, pianist Orrin Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist  who pushes the envelope in all directions. Never supported by a major label\, Evans has ascended to top-of-the-pyramid stature on his instrument\, as affirmed by his #1-ranking as “Rising Star Pianist” in the 2018  DownBeat Critics Poll. Grammy nominations for the Smoke Sessions albums The Intangible Between and Presence\, by Evans’ raucous\, risk-friendly Captain Black Big Band\, stamp his bona fides as a bandleader and composer. \nIn addition to CBBB\, Evans’ multifarious leader and collaborative projects include the Eubanks Evans Experience (a duo with eminent guitarist Kevin Eubanks); the Brazilian unit Terreno Comum; Evans’ working trio with bassist Luques Curtis and drummer Mark Whitfield\, Jr.; and Tar Baby (a collective trio of 20 years standing with bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits). One of Tar Baby’s two 2022 releases will be released on Evans’ imprint\, Imani Records\, which he founded in 2001 and relaunched in 2018. \n

SUMMARY:CYRILLE AIMÉE
DESCRIPTION:Cyrille Aimée grew up in a multilingual household full of music where dancing was an everyday activity\, soundtracked by the Afro-Caribbean sounds of her mother’s native Dominican Republic. The family home was in Samois-sur-Seine\, the location of the Django Reinhardt Festival\, and the teenage Cyrille would climb out of her bedroom window at night to mingle with the players\, igniting a passion for jazz. \nMoving to New York City\, her talents quickly gained her a reputation among her peers as a matchless interpreter of song. She performed and recorded with Roy Hargrove and stole the show in front of the notoriously hard-to-please crowd at the Harlem Apollo. Steven Sondheim invited her to star in a tribute at New York’s City Centre\, backed by Wynton Marsalis. Her 2019 album Move On featured versions of Sondheim’s songs which received praise from Sondheim himself\, and her version of “Marry Me a Little“\, was nominated for a 2019 Grammy Award. \nAt the height of her New York success\, new horizons beckoned. Visiting New Orleans\, she fell in love with the energy and diversity of the city and made it her home. Linking back to New York to connect up all the dots\, she teamed up with producer/multi-instrumentalist Jake Sherman\, and together they have created her latest album\, A Fleur de Peau. to be released on a new label\, the London-based imprint Whirlwind Recordings \nCombining the depth and sophistication of jazz\, the immediacy of pop\, the irrepressible dance rhythms of the Caribbean\, it’s more intimate and more accessible than anything Cyrille has done before.

SUMMARY:MADELEINE PEYROUX
DESCRIPTION:ALL PERFORMANCES SOLD OUT \n\nMuch like songbird Edith Piaf\, Madeleine Peyroux spent her teenage years busking the busy streets of Paris. Just like the ‘little sparrow’\, Madeleine befriended the city’s street musicians and made its Latin quarter her first performing stage. Years later\, Peyroux would cite iconic Piaf as an influence on her music and record a rendition of the classic “La Vie En Rose\,” soulfully capturing the tune’s romanticism and melancholy. Her breakthrough album Dreamland (1996) sold a striking 200\,000 copies and Madeleine’s dusky voice was likened to that of jazz greats Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. \nThe album cemented Madeleine Peyroux as a ‘classic’ musical talent that was here to stay\, and the soulful singer found herself touring the world\, singing with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and opening for Cesaria Evora. Extensive touring took its toll on Madeleine’s voice and Jazz’s new star failed to complete recording sessions for her second Atlantic record. Unable to “make money without singing”\, Madeleine made several futile attempts at odd jobs\, and soon “went into hibernation”. \nIn 2003 she signed to Rounder Records and embarked on a game-changing\, lifelong collaboration with multi-Grammy winning producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell\, Walter Becker\, Herbie Hancock). The prolific partnership has now spanned many years and created universally acclaimed albums\, hailed by many as timeless classics including: Careless Love (2004)\, Half the Perfect World (2006)\, Bare Bones (2009)\, her first try at an album of entirely new compositions\, Standing On the Rooftop (2011)\, and The Blue Room\,(2013). \nShe self-produced her next album\, Secular Hymns\, (2016)\, recorded live at a church in Oxfordshire\, England. A collaboration with her touring trio\, guitarist Jon Herington (Steely Dan) and bassist Barak Mori (Avishai Cohen) the album features an eclectic mix of Jazz\, soul\, dub and blues\, with covers of Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, Townes Van Zandt and Willie Dixon. \nIn 2019\, Madeleine released Anthem\, – reflecting on the contemporary political conversation\, Anthem featured all new songs (excepting the title track by Leonard Cohen)\, co-written with Larry Klein\, guitarist and lyricist David Baerwald\, organist Patrick Warren and drummer Brian MacLeod. \nThirty years after her formative busking days Peyroux is the proud curator of nine beguiling albums and an accomplished performer with sell out worldwide tours under her belt. Her atmospheric version of Serge Gainsborough’s La Javanaise was used in the soundtrack of Oscar Winner The Shape of Water and her countless accolades include the coveted BBC “International Artist of The Year” honor. \n

SUMMARY:CAETANO VELOSO
DESCRIPTION:Blessed with an otherworldly voice and an Ellingtonian understanding of harmonic color\, Veloso co-led the bossa nova and Tropicália movements of the late 1960s and has since taken on everything from funky samba workouts to ethereal balladry and orchestral pieces. His self-titled 1968 LP was a revolutionary statement\, single-handedly launching Tropicália and helping to contemporize Brazilian popular culture in its embrace of international musical influences. Over 40 albums followed that have continued to expand the scope of Brazilian music\, including his celebrated Carnegie Hall collaboration with David Byrne in 2004 and the 2007 rock-informed Nonesuch release Cê that earned two Latin GRAMMY Awards. For this night\, Veloso brings music from 2021’s Meu Coco\, his first album of new music in nearly a decade and his most direct and personal recording to date. \nNow 81\, Caetano Veloso has attained a global stature as a songwriter on par with the likes of John Lennon and Bob Dylan. His influence across musical genres and geographic borders has been vast\, yet his riveting concert appearances remain the most important aspect of a legacy still in progress.
