Nina
Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell have established themselves as
iconic performers and composers. The depth and authenticity of their
music has profoundly influenced generations of musicians and touched audiences
worldwide.
Lynne Arriale, Carla Cook and Grace Kelly have been moved and influenced by the
strength and power of these legends. They will celebrate these great women of
jazz by sharing their unique reinterpretations of popular classics with
passion, soul and sensitivity in a magical evening of empathetic collaboration.
All three artists are all
highly innovative and original leaders who have recorded extensively and toured
internationally. Lynne Arriale's recordings and performances have
garnered international acclaim over her 20-year career. Grace Kelly is truly a
prodigious talent, who is currently featured in Jean Batiste's Band "Stay
Human" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Carla Cook brings the
powerhouse trio full circle with earthy sophistication and elements of R&B,
European classical, Motown, Blues and Gospel.
Lynne, Carla and Grace have
delighted audiences with this special presentation. Recent performances have
included The Kennedy Center and concerts throughout the US and Canada. We
invite you to join this dynamic group, including Evan Gregor on bass and Jordan
Perlson on drums for an evening of joyful interaction and musical spontaneity
featuring modern jazz classics, reinvented popular favorites and memorable
original compositions.

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
