The Jazz Voyager

The Jazz Voyager is taking his next flight out to the great northwest to Idaho to pay a visit to a performing arts center called The Argyros. That is where the jazz vocalist Curtis Stigers will be performing for one night only. Besides his vocal talents he is also a songwriter, and plays the saxophone and guitar.

An intimate evening of songs and stories by this Emmy-nominated musician is something to anticipate. He has redefined the constitution of contemporary jazz singing, bringing new tunes to the Great American Songbook.

This is another first time discovery of the city and venue but I am excited to see what part of the country has to offer. Will definitely be dressed properly for the cold weather and hope any storms hold off. As always each flight I take has me masked as a preventative measure as these strains are continuing to mutate.

The center is located at 120 Main Street South, Ketchum 83340. The center’s number is 208-726-7872. For more information visit https://notoriousjazz.com/event/curtis-stigers.

MARC CARY

In a jazz world brimming with brilliant and adventurous pianists, Marc Cary stands apart by way of pedigree and design as one of New York’s best jazz pianists. None of his prestigious peer group ever set the groove behind the drums in Washington DC go-go bands, nor are they graduates of both Betty Carter and Abbey Lincoln’s daunting bandstand academies.

“There isn’t much in the modern-jazz-musician tool kit that Marc Cary hasn’t mastered, but he has a particular subspecialty in the area of groove…with a range of rhythmic strategies, from a deep-house pulse to a swinging churn.” — New York Times

MONTY ALEXANDER

GRAMMY nominated Monty Alexander returns to Birdland from December 20-24 with two sets each night!

from Kingston, Jamaica, his hometown, Grammy nominated pianist Monty Alexander is an American classic, touring the world relentlessly with various projects, delighting a global audience drawn to his vibrant personality and soulful message. A perennial favorite at Jazz festivals and venues worldwide and at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he has appeared 23 times since 1976, his spirited conception is one informed by the timeless verities: endless melody-making, effervescent grooves, sophisticated voicings, a romantic spirit, and a consistent predisposition, as Alexander accurately states, “to build up the heat and kick up a storm.” In the course of any given performance, Alexander applies those aesthetics to a repertoire spanning a broad range of jazz and Jamaican musical expressions—the American songbook and the blues, gospel and bebop, calypso and reggae. Documented on more than 75 recordings and cited as the fifth greatest jazz pianist ever in The Fifty Greatest Jazz Piano Players of All Time (Hal Leonard Publishing), the Jamaican government designated Alexander Commander in the Order of Distinction in 2000 and in 2018 The University of The West Indies bestowed him with an honorary doctorate degree (DLitt) in recognition of his accomplishments.
