(Nova Southeastern University campus in Davie)

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33314
South Florida JAZZ, the area’s premier modern jazz organization, is specially excited to present the Joey DeFrancesco Trio on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at 8:00 PM. This concert will take place at the Rose & Alfred
Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100
Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd, Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($10 students with I.D.) and
can be purchased from Ticketmaster either by calling 954.462.0222 or online at
southfloridajazz.org.
In addition to his three Grammy nominations, DeFrancesco is a 10-time winner of the Down Beat Critics Poll and has won the Down Beat Readers Poll every year since 2005, plus a number of JazzTimes and Jazz Journalist Association awards. He was an inaugural member of the Hammond Hall of Fame in 2014.
DeFranceso’s emergence in the 1980s marked the renaissance for the B3 organ, which had been largely replaced by more portable keyboard synthesizers. Joey reignited the flame with the vintage sound of his Hammond, and in so doing, also revived the careers of many other proponents of the “big dawg” of keyboard instruments. Joey, however, is the universally acknowledged “King of the Jazz Organ.”
ARTISTIC PERSONNEL:
Joey DeFrancesco – organ, trumpet and vocals
Dan Wilson – electric guitar
Jason Brown – drums

The 2015-16 Concert Schedule
Performances commence at 8:00 p.m.
April 9, 2016 – Lynne Arriale – Carla Cook – Grace Kelly Quintet
Celebrating Great Women in Music: “You Know How I Feel – The Music of Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell”
Pianist Arriale, saxophone prodigy Kelly, and blues-drenched singer Cook and their quintet are terrific! This band was conceived by Lynne Arriale to celebrate the great women vocalists in music. Carla Cook has the ability to convey the vibe of the named artists. An important element of the instrumental component is rising star Grace Kelly, a young and dynamic alto saxophonist who also is a sensational vocalist, as we have recently learned. This project could be a highlight of the season. TICKETS

May 14, 2016 – Kurt Rosenwinkel Quartet
One of the most influential jazz guitarists of his generation, Rosenwinkel, currently living in Berlin, Germany, brings a unique approach to composition and interplay with magnificent sidemen: pianist Aaron Parks, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Allan Mednard. Rosenwinkel was trained at Berklee College of Music and immediately hired by Gary Burton (who has a penchant for discovering the most important guitarists for decades). He played in several cutting-edge bands before becoming a successful leader. TICKETS

June 11, 2016 – Steve Turre Sextet – “The Bones of Art (Blakey)”
Steve Turre continues to win polls as a trombonist and several times on the seashells, as well, in the Miscellaneous Instrument category. The late Rahsann Roland Kirk, in whose band he played dating back to 1970, influenced him both musically and spiritually. It was Kirk who suggested incorporating shells into Turre’s musical arsenal.
A three-trombone frontline is featured in this thrilling tribute to legendary hard bop drummer and bandleader Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers of which Turre was a member. The band is composed of trombonists Robin Eubanks and Frank Lacy along with a driving rhythm section with pianist Xavier Davis, bassist Peter Washington and drummer Willie Jones III. TICKETS
Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County
