SUMMARY:Eliane Elias at Catalina Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:Hot off her 2022 GRAMMY win for Best Latin Jazz Album for “Mirror Mirror\,” and Latin GRAMMY Nomination for Best Jazz Album\, internationally acclaimed recording artist\, pianist/singer/composer/arranger Eliane Elias’ distinctive musical style and artistry is one of the most celebrated and recognizable sounds in jazz and Brazilian music. She blends her Brazilian roots and alluring voice with her virtuoso instrumental jazz\, her classical and compositional skills\, while she consistently displays her piano mastery and ability to integrate the many artistic roles she takes on. With 31 albums and over 2.4 million albums sold to date\, Eliane Elias has a strong presence on Spotify with over 600\,000 monthly listeners and over 26 million Spotify listens of her song “Little Paradise.” She has toured 74 countries\, is a four-time Gold Disc Award recipient\, a three-time Best Vocal Album winner in Japan and winner of the 2018 Edison Lifetime Achievement Award in Holland\, to name a few accolades. Her 2019 and 2021 albums (Love Stories and Mirror Mirror) were both voted “Downbeat’s Best Album of the Year – Masterpiece” and as most of her previous releases\, her recordings hit #1 on the jazz charts worldwide. To date Eliane has won two GRAMMY Awards\, one Latin GRAMMY and has been nominated 10 times in 5 different categories. On her new album\, Quietude released Oct. 14\, 2022 she transports us into another world with a lusciously relaxing journey into the Brazilian bossa nova. Eliane’s live performances showcase her piano\, vocals\, arranging and compositional skills\, together with her charismatic personality\, bringing a wide spectrum of musical experiences and unique presentations to the audience. Melding her immense talents in jazz\, Brazilian\, classical\, and pop music\, Eliane Elias is as Jazziz magazine has called her\, “A citizen of the world” and “an artist beyond category.” \n“Elias’ intoxicating vocals emote the ambient calm of a forest after a soft rain; her vibrancy is a force unto itself. With powerful artistry\, her naturally prodigious talent is even stronger as the years pass—a feat capable only by the true elites of the musical world.” ***** – DownBeat \nThe Brazilian pianist and singer Eliane Elias commands the keyboard with a forceful two-handed muscularity that belies her image as a blond older sister of the mythical “Girl from Ipanema.” The more percussive her piano becomes\, the more she opens up a song and reimagines it in what might be called a romantic carnival groove…a celebration of the vitality of a culture overflowing with life and natural beauty.”\n– The New York Times

SUMMARY:Aurora Jazz Fusion at Steel Mill Saloon
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. Jazz was mixing with rock\, funk\, Latin and R&B which gave musicians the opportunity to explore unique connections and seek out new possibilities. This new iteration of AURORA\, with veteran and younger musicians\, allows the band to take a fresh look at the music from this important time in the evolution of jazz. 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.” \nAURORA is Marty Ashby on guitar\, Mike Tomaro on saxophones\, Jeff Bush on trombone\, Max Leake 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.

He made his recording debut as a leader in 1982  and has since recorded more than 60 jazz and classical recordings\, which have won him nine GRAMMY® Awards.
