SUMMARY:Danilo Perez's Global Messengers
DESCRIPTION:Danilo Pérez’s Global Messengers project advances a mission which is wholly relevant today. When discussing the healing properties of music\, the Panamanian jazz pianist\, humanitarian\, and educator speaks of “recovering the function of the artist as a tool to redirect humanity in a positive direction.” The Global Messengers came to fruition through the culture and experiences of its members\, hailing from North and Central America\, Europe\, and Western Asia.

SUMMARY:Steve Smith and Vital Information at MCG Jazz
DESCRIPTION:Drummer Steve Smith has been touring and recording with his all-star group Vital Information since 1983\, making 2023 the 40th Anniversary of the group. Steve Smith and Vital Information celebrate the occasion with a newly recorded double CD release entitled “TIME FLIES.”   \nThe newest line-up of Vital Information features virtuoso musicians with vast experience. Keyboardist Manuel Valera\, a Guggenheim Fellow and Grammy nominated artist\, was born\, and raised in Havana\, Cuba and is now living in NYC. Manuel plays and records with many of the New York jazz elite like Antonio Sanchez\, Dafnis Prieto and John Patitucci. Electric Bassist Janek Gwizdala\, originally from London\, currently living in Los Angeles\, records and tours with Peter Erskine\, Mike Stern and Randy Brecker and is one of the most in-demand bass players in the world. Both new members of Vital Information are bandleaders and recording artists with multiple recordings to their names. The new trio version of Steve Smith and Vital Information collectively creates a powerhouse sound. Although the band is rooted in the straight-ahead swing of bebop\, at times the group explores exotic time-signatures from the world of South Indian Carnatic music and have arranged adventurous funk-driven renditions of jazz standards. Seeing Steve Smith and Vital Information live-in concert is a perfect opportunity to experience their high-level musicianship\, sense of joy onstage and collective virtuosic improvisation.

SUMMARY:Brandee Younger Trio at MCG Jazz
DESCRIPTION:A leading voice of the harp\, Brandee Younger recently made history at the 2022 GRAMMY Awards as the first Black female solo artist nominated in the Best Instrumental Composition category for her song “Beautiful Is Black.” The mesmerizing track is from her 2021 critically well-received major label debut album\, Somewhere Different\, that also received a 2022 NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Jazz Album – Instrumental. Over her career Ms. Younger has performed and recorded across countless genres with artists including John Legend\, The Roots\, Lauryn Hill\, Common\, Pharoah Sanders\, Ravi Coltrane\, Ron Carter\, and Charlie Haden.

In addition to performing\, she is on the teaching artist faculty at New York University and The New School College of Performing Arts in New York City.  \nBrandee Younger- Harp \nRashann Carter – Bass \nAllan Mednard – Drums

SUMMARY:Aurora Jazz Fusion at Steel Mill Saloon 4/28
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, Marty Ashby started a band called AURORA JAZZ FUSION to perform the contemporary jazz cross-over music of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

AURORA focuses on playing instrumental jazz by such artists as Jeff Lorber\, Chick Corea\, The Brecker Brothers\, The Crusaders\, Weather Report as well as renditions of Freddie Hubbard’s “Super Blue” and Grover Washington Jr.’s “Winelight.” \n  \nAURORA is Marty Ashby on guitar\, Mike Tomaro on saxophones\, Jeff Bush on trombone\, Craig Davis on keyboards\, Brian Stahurski on bass and Hugo Cruz on drums.

SUMMARY:Monty Alexander
DESCRIPTION:MONTY\nALEXANDER\nSaturday\, September 24\, 2022\n6:00 pm & 8:30 pm \n \nMonty Alexander is a perennial favorite at jazz festivals and venues worldwide\, and at the Montreux Jazz Festival where he has performed and headlined concerts 23 times since 1976. His spirited conception is one informed by the timeless verities:  endless melody-making\, effervescent grooves\, sophisticated voicings\, a romantic spirit\, and a consistent predisposition\, as Alexander accurately states\, “to build up the heat and kick up a storm.” In the course of any given performance\, Alexander applies those aesthetics to a repertoire spanning a broad range of jazz and Jamaican musical expressions—the American songbook and the blues\, gospel and bebop\, calypso and reggae—and gives the hardcore-jazz-obsessed much to dig into while also communicating the message to the more casual listener.
