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

TIERNEY SUTTON

“Ms. Sutton is a pure jazz spirit who respects a song. Even when going out on an improvisatory limb, she never lets its essence slip away.” — The New York Times

An 9-time Grammy nominee, Tierney Sutton has received 8 Nominations for “Best Jazz Vocal Album” as well as a 9th for arranging. Known for her impeccable voice and superbly imaginative arrangements, Sutton is heralded for her ability to transform even the most familiar song into a revelation. She is a story-teller.

Her 15 recordings as leader have addressed themes such as materialism and the pursuit of happiness as well as paying tribute to the music of Bill Evans, Frank Sinatra and Sting. Her 2013 Joni Mitchell tribute, “After Blue” featured NEA Jazz Master Hubert Laws as well as jazz vocal legend Al Jarreau. Her latest album, “Paris Sessions 2” features Serge Merlaud, Kevin Axt and Hubert Laws. The pandemic found Tierney deepening her collaboration with piano powerhouse Tamir Hendelman. This exciting duo has an album in the works. Director Clint Eastwood has called Sutton “my favorite singer”and hired her, along with TSB pianist Christian Jacob and The Tierney Sutton Band to score his 2016 film, “Sully.”

Since 1993 Sutton has fronted The Tierney Sutton Band which has featured instrumental virtuosos Christian Jacob, Trey Henry, Kevin Axt and Ray Brinker. After 29 years together with the same personnel, Tierney has recently opened the band to exciting new members, yet retaining the same creative, united energy that has fueled the last 3 decades.
