KENNY GARRETT

Rudy Bird [percussion]
Ronald Bruner [drums]

Newly named an NEA Jazz Master for 2023, Kenny Garrett and his swinging quintet will go on a musical journey! The NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship is the nation’s highest honor in jazz. Each year since 1982, the program has elevated to its ranks a select number of living legends who have made exceptional contributions to the advancement of jazz.

With his illustrious career that includes hallmark stints with Miles Davis, Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw and the Duke Ellington Orchestra, as well as a heralded career as a solo artist that began more than 30 years ago, Kenny Garrett is easily recognized as one of modern jazz’s brightest and most influential living masters. And with the marvelous Sounds From The Ancestors, the GRAMMY® Award-winning Garrett shows no signs of resting on his laurels.

Kenny Garrett’s latest release, Sounds From The Ancestors, is a multi-faceted album. Similar to how Miles Davis’ seminal LP, On the Corner, subverted its main guiding lights – James Brown, Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone – then crafted its own unique, polyrhythmic, groove-laden, improv-heavy universe, Sounds From The Ancestors occupies its own space with intellectual clarity, sonic ingenuity and emotional heft.

Friday & Saturday: 7:00pm | 9:30pm

Sunday: 5:00pm | 7:30pm

Ticket Fees: $3.46 – $4.16

Streaming: $10.00 + $1.70 fee

SHARÓN CLARK: TRIBUTE TO BALTIMORE’S ETHEL ENNIS

Sharón Clark [Vocals]

Lenny Robinson [Drums]
Michael Bowie [Bass]

Sharón Clark will be doing a tribute to Baltimore’s own, Ethel Ennis, who was an American jazz singer whose career spanned seven decades. Ennis spent the majority of her life in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, where she was affectionately known as the “First Lady of Jazz.”

“You can’t underestimate the transformation of what seems like an ordinary song when an interpreter like Sharón Clark…tears it apart and peers inside” – The New York Times

DC jazz fans beat a path to clubs whenever singer Sharón Clark takes the stage. This prolific artist has assumed the mantle of Washington’s Queen of Jazz. Jazz Times calls her “a revelation… I never thought I’d hear a singer with the range, musicality and command of tone and timbre that was Sarah [Vaughan] at her best, but now I have.” As a youngster, Sharón Clark started her career with her twin sister as the Bottle Caps, making promotional appearances for the Coca-Cola Company, and she got her first solo jazz gig singing at King’s Dominion. Today, she’s a regular at DC’s Blues Alley and is a featured soloist with the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra. No stranger to the road, Sharón Clark has headlined at major festivals across the U.S. and toured internationally—she has a faithful fan base in Europe, Russia and Israel.

Ticket Fees: $3.10 – $3.46
