PAQUITO D’RIVERA

Paquito D’Rivera has won a combined 16 Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards (5 Grammy and 11 Latin Grammys). He is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer.

Born in Havana, Cuba, he performed at age 10 with the National Theater Orchestra, studied at the Havana Conservatory of Music, and at 17, became a featured soloist with the Cuban National Symphony. As a founding member of the Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna, he directed that group for two years, while at the same time playing both the clarinet and saxophone with the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra.

He eventually went on to premiere several works by notable Cuban composers with the same orchestra. Additionally, he was a founding member and co-director of the innovative musical ensemble Irakere. With its explosive mixture of jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban music never before heard, Irakere toured extensively throughout America and Europe.

The Band:

Paquito D’Rivera – Clarinet, Alto Saxophone
Alex Brown – Piano
Oscar Stagnaro – Electric Bass
Mark Walker – Drums

EUGENIE JONES

Through inspiration and​ an inexhaustible work ethic Eugenie Jones
has transformed herself into a jazz vocalist of impeccable quality, with a respect  for the jazz tradition  and the courage to try something she had never imagined – a singing career​​​​​​​​​​​​. ​​
Eugenie Jones was not supposed to be a jazz singer. She graduated with an MBA in marketing, and her post-graduate career took her deep within the nonprofit sector as a marketing  communications executive. Her mother, a soprano gospel singer, was the singer of the family, and w hen cancer claimed her life, Jones managed her grief by setting out to see if she could carry forward that part of her Mom’s life.
 
Ten years later, the now acclaimed jazz vocalist and songwriter with a heartwarming backstory celebrates her first decade in the jazz spotlight with The Originals, a greatest hits collection of songs from her prior albums, all from her own pen and all released on her own music label, Open Mic Records.
