ROSA PASSOS

It’s the return of Brazilian vocalist and guitarist in The Appel Room since her sold-out performance in 2016.

Rosa Passos with Kenny Barron and Ron Carter brings the iconic Brazilian vocalist and guitarist to the Appel Room for the first time since her sold-out 2016 appearance with NEA Jazz Master pianist Kenny Barron. Their spellbinding simpatico will be enhanced by Passos’ reunion with Ron Carter—also an NEA Jazz Master who bass virtuoso Stanley Clarke once described “as the most important bass player of the last fifty years.”—after their lauded 2003 “Entre Amigos” album. While Passos has been called the “female João Gilberto” she is a prolific and distinct vocalist and guitarist with a playful yet sophisticated style, marked by perfect pitch and spacious elegance. Enhancing this first-ever meeting of these three masters is first-call Brazilian drummer, Rafael Barata.

You can purchase the 9:30 performances on March 24 and 25 as part of the 9:30 in The Appel Room series – three 9:30 Appel Room shows for $99 (including fees) for any seat in the house while seats are available. Your Appel Room ticket stub can be used for a free cover to that evening’s Dizzy’s Late Night Session

Friday 3/24 @ 7:00pm | $115.50~$135.50 / @ 9:30pm – $70.50~90.50

Saturday @ 7:00pm | $115.50~$135.50 / @ 9:30pm – $75.50~95.50

DIANNE REEVES: LOVE IS IN THE AIR

One of the world’s top jazz vocalists returns to mesmerize audiences with her beloved Valentine’s Day shows in Rose Theater. An intimate, powerful performance by a master vocalist and hypnotizing storyteller.

Another JALC perennial is a Valentine’s Day tradition, on which Dianne Reeves sings on the subject of love, fulfilled and unrequited, carnal and spiritual, illuminating the complexities attendant to matters of the heart with a warm, dazzling contralto, spanning registers with no apparent strain, conveying emotional nuance through exquisitely calibrated tonal color and phrasing. “I just want to tell the story,” Reeves says. “My instrument is an extension of my soul.”
