Sunshine Jazz Welcomes the New Year with Jazz Vocalist LeNard Rutledge w/ Orta, Orta, Caze & Cotman

Sunshine Jazz Concert Series Presents
LeNard Rutledge,
Backed By Miami's
World-Class Jazzmen!

 Sunday, January 22, 2017 ~ 6-9pm

SJO kicks off the new year with more South Florida world class Jazz! Our monthly Concert Series, presented at Miami Shores Country Club every fourth Sunday, is always a “musical high” and January’s artists will be no exception. SJO proudly presents Jazz vocalist extraordinaire, LeNard Rutledge, along with his fabulous band:  Michael Orta on Piano, Nicky Orta on Bass, James Cotmon on Drums, and Jean Caze on Trumpet. The world class ensemble will take the stage from 6:00pm-9:00pm.

 LeNard Rutledge, born and raised in Miami, Florida where there are only a handful of truly great jazz vocalists, is usually compared, aptly, to the legendary Lou Rawls. He began his vocal career in 1997 when he was asked to join the famed Melton Mustafa Orchestra, and he became the featured vocalist for seven years. LeNard has also shared the stage with a number of highly respectable jazz artists such as: Wycliffe Gordon, Kenny Drew Jr., Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kirk Whalum, Marion Meadows and the late George Duke.

SMDCAC Presents Jazz Vocalist & Guitarist Allan Harris January 27, 2017 in Cabaret Series

“Outstanding Jazz Vocalist”
New York Nightlife Award 3x Winner!

FRI, JAN 27 / 8:30PM

Allan Harris

CABARET SERIES

South Miami-Dade 
Cultural Arts Center 
10950 SW 211 Street
Cutler Bay, FL 33189

BUY TICKETS NOW

South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center presents Allan Harris as part of the Cabaret Series on Friday, January 27 at 8:30pm. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 on day of show. SMDCAC is located at 10950 SW 211 Street in Cutler Bay. For tickets the public should call 786-573-5300 and for information visit www.smdcac.org.

Ever since he burst on the jazz scene in the latter part of the twentieth century, the Brooklyn-born, Harlem-based vocalist/guitarist/bandleader/composer Allan Harris has reined supreme as the most accomplished and exceptional singer of his generation. Aptly described by The Miami Herald as an artist blessed with, “the warmth of Tony Bennett, the bite and rhythmic sense of Sinatra, and the sly elegance of Nat ‘King' Cole,” the ample and aural evidence of Harris’ moving and magisterial artistry can be heard on his ten recordings as a leader; his far-flung and critically-acclaimed concerts around the world, from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, and Washington DC’s Kennedy Center, to the 2012 London Olympics, and a number of prestigious bookings in Europe, The Middle East and Asia, and his numerous awards, which include the New York Nightlife Award for “Outstanding Jazz Vocalist” – which he won three times – the Backstage Bistro Award for “Ongoing Achievement in Jazz,” and the Harlem Speaks “Jazz Museum of Harlem Award.”

The Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, in partnership with Flying Saucer welcomes Dr. John & The Nite Trippers Wednesday, January 18, 2017. Doors open at 7pm and show starts at 8pm.


The legendary Dr. John is a six-time GRAMMY Award-winning musician and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee.  Known throughout the world as the embodiment of New Orleans’ musical legacy, Dr. John is a true icon in American culture.  His colorful musical career began in the 1950s when he wrote and played guitar on some of the greatest records to come out of the Crescent City, including recordings by Professor Longhair, Art Neville, Joe Tex, Frankie Ford and Allen Toussaint.

In addition to his six GRAMMY wins (1989, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008 and 2013), he has received six other GRAMMY nominations over the years.  In 2006, he was nominated for Sippiana Hericane, his Hurricane Katrina benefit disc.  After Hurricane Katrina, Dr. John immediately stepped up to the plate with generous relief fund-raising concerts and recordings.  In 2007, he was also inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame.  In 2008, he released City That Care Forgot, winning a GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Blues Album.  His 2012 release Locked Down, with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys also won a GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Blues Album.  In 2013 Dr. John was awarded an honorary doctorate from Tulane University alongside His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Dr. John & The Nite Trippers released The Bare Necessities, produced by Morrow, for Disney's blockbuster The Jungle Book soundtrack in spring, 2016. In the Fall of 2016, Dr. John released the double live album and DVD The Musical Mojo of Dr. John: A Celebration of Mac & His Music with performers including Bruce Springsteen, Widespread Panic, Mavis Staples, Morrow, John Fogerty and many more. After more than half a century of creating music for others and himself, Dr. John continues to write, arrange, produce and interpret music with a passion.
