SUMMARY:The Orrin Evans Trio
DESCRIPTION:There will be two shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm for this performance. \n(Seatings to begin at 5pm & 8:45pm respectively) \n************************************************************************************************** \nFor more than two decades\, Yamaha pianist Orrin Evans has made an art form of the unexpected. With more than 25 albums to his credit without ever relying on the support of a major label\, Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist who’s made a habit of rattling the jazz world’s confining cages. That determination has paid off in accolades like topping the “Rising Star Pianist” category in the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll and two Grammy nominations. As a daring pianist\, Evans combines raw-edged vigor and left-field nuance into a sound wholly his own. As an adventurous composer he traverses stylistic boundaries with abandon\, drawing on full-throttle swing\, deep rooted blues\, expressive soul or bracing excursions into the avant-garde. As an audacious bandleader\, he delights in daring fellow musicians to take bold risks\, whether in mutable small group settings or his raucous Captain Black Big Band. As an inventive collaborator\, his projects range from the nerve-rattling collective trio Tarbaby\, to the guitar/piano duo project Eubanks-Evans-Experience\, and Brazilian project Terreno Comum.

SUMMARY:The Johnny O'Neal Trio
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Seatings begin at 5p & 8:45p respectively) \n**************************************************************************************** \nAfter forty-plus years as a professional pianist\, vocalist and entertainer\, Johnny  O’Neal has earned the title of “master” with fellow musicians and audiences  around the world. Highlights of his awe-inspiring career include stints with Ray Brown\, Milt Jackson and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers\, as well as a Carnegie  Hall debut in 1985 on solo piano opening for Oscar Peterson and induction into  the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame in 1998. There is little wonder he was tapped to  play virtuoso pianist Art Tatum in the Academy Award-winning Ray Charles  biopic Ray.  \nWhile playing with Blakey\, he accompanied some of the great jazz divas\,  including Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae. Johnny has also been tapped for  appearances by Dizzy Gillespie\, Joe Pass\, Nancy Wilson\, Anita O’Day\, Lionel  Hampton\, Kenny Burrell\, Sonny Stitt\, Benny Golson\, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis and  Clark Terry\, among others. Performances on the festival circuits in Canada\,  Europe\, Australia\, Japan\, Israel and South Africa have gained him an  international following.  \nThe Detroit native considers himself a piano player first\, but was encouraged to  sing in his sets more by Joe Williams. Johnny recalls Williams advising him\, “If  you’ve got it\, flaunt it!” Astonishingly\, he is largely self-taught. His playing evokes  the influences imbued in him by his idols Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum\, and he  has reshaped these elements into his own very swinging and melodic  approach. In live performances\, he is apt to catch his audience off-guard with his  blues shouting or soulfully rendered yet unpretentious vocalizations.

SUMMARY:ELEW
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance \n(Seatings begin at 5p & 8:45p respectively) \n**************************************************************************************** \nEvery once in a while\, an artist comes along who changes everything. Producing something completely new and meaningful\, this person fills a void within the fabric of our culture—a hole we didn’t even know was there. Past generations have laid claim to this type of iconoclast—Liszt\, Warhol\, and Coltrane are among the artistic beacons of years gone by. Today\, another joins their number—an innovator\, musical revolutionary and unmatched performer: ELEW\, aka Eric Robert Lewis. Fusing traditional jazz with elements of modern rock and pop\, ELEW’s masterful originals and blistering re-interpretations have ignited the interest of the country’s tastemakers and those in the cultural know. But more than this\, he possesses that ineffable spark that we only associate with true genius. Everything that he creates bears his singular mark—the stamp of something that we have never seen or heard\, but have always wanted to feel. \nA native of Camden\, New Jersey\, ELEW began his musical studies at a young age. After being granted a full scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music\, he set his sights toward making noise on a grand scale. Upon graduation\, he toured the world\, recorded\, and performed continuously with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, Elvin Jones\, Cassandra Wilson\, Roy Hargrove\, and Joe Henderson among others. \n1999 offered a formal confirmation of what was rapidly becoming clear when ELEW won the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition. It’s a contest that goes beyond simply rewarding musical proficiency\, instead recognizing the elusive combination of knowledge\, command\, passion and expression that define a true piano master. \nToday\, bolstered by his virtuosic quartet\, ELEW has created a riveting new sound that is at once fresh and classic. In the jazz tradition of interpreting popular tunes of the day\, much like Art Tatum and John Coltrane\, ELEW manipulates and performs renditions of rock and pop songs by today’s top artists. A musical contortionist\, his compositions twist\, turn\, and careen between styles\, sounds\, and emotions\, resulting in a stunning aural experience. His new style is becoming so popular that his gigs are beginning to extend into the realm of film industry\, opening new doors for his talent to be recognized.

SUMMARY:Richie Goods Project
DESCRIPTION:There will be two seatings at 7:30pm & 9:30pm for this performance. \n* \n* \nNY bassist Richie Goods\, one of the most versatile and accomplished bass players on the scene today and the youngest person ever inducted into the Pittsburgh Jazz Hall of Fame\, came to prominence while touring and recording with the late Mulgrew Miller and credits him for much of his success. Richie went on to make a name for himself through recording and touring with a variety of jazz and popular artists including Sting\, The Headhunters\, Louis Hayes and the Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band\, Lenny White\, Milt Jackson\, Whitney Houston\, and Christina Aguilera. His lengthy discography also includes Grammy award-winning and platinum albums of Alicia Keys and Common. Richie most recently toured with popular jazz trumpeter\, Chris Botti for over 5 years. \nKnown for his ability to “lay down the groove”\, Richie infuses funk and gospel influences in his music. He tours the US and internationally extensively\, including notable performances at the Monterrey\, Montreal\, Mendocino\, Atlanta\, Detroit\, San Jose and Jakarta Java Jazz Festivals as well as the Punta del Este International Jazz Festival. Richie\, a native Pittsburgher\, graduated from the Pittsburgh High School for Creative and Performing Arts and the prestigious jazz program at Berklee College in Boston and studied with such luminaries as Ron Carter and\nRay Brown. Richie received critical acclaim for his first recording with Nuclear Fusion –“Richie Goods & Nuclear Fusion Live at the Zinc Bar” (2009)\, which was followed by “THREE RIVERS” in 2015. \nRichie’s latest release\, recorded with his current band\, THE GOODS PROJECT\, is a tribute to his mentor. “My Left Hand Man – A Tribute to Mulgrew Miller” spent 16 weeks on the JazzWeek charts\, 8 in the top 20. As one critic observed\, Richie Goods truly has music in his\nDNA –“a master musician whose tenure with many of music’s greatest names clearly has worn off on him…”

SUMMARY:Michael Olatuja & Lagos Pepper Soup
DESCRIPTION:There will be two separate seatings at 7:30pm & 9:30pm for this performance. \n* \n* \nMichael Olatuja’s musical development has taken place across three continents\, in the heart of three of the world’s greatest cities. After a childhood in Lagos absorbing the Yoruba culture of his Nigerian family\, followed by teenage years performing and studying on the booming London jazz scene\, Michael’s talent bloomed when he arrived in New York to study at the Manhattan School of Music. His unique breadth of talent\, grounded in the strong musical traditions of his homeland\, has earned him first-call status across a range of genres from pop to gospel to Broadway to top-flight jazz\, and along the way he’s filled his contacts book with a impressive and eclectic range of talent. For Lagos Pepper Soup\, his second solo release\, Michael picked a core band of Terreon Gully\, Aaron Parks and Etienne Stadwijk\, and then enlisted the talents of Angelique Kidjo\,  Dianne Reeves\, Regina Carter\, Joe Lovano\, Laura Mvula\, Lionel Loueke\, Grégoire Maret\, Becca Stevens\,  Brandee Younger\, Robert Mitchell\, Onaje Jefferson\, and top studio arrangers David Metzger\, Joseph Joubert and Jason Michael Webb to realise his vision of what he calls Cinematic Afrobeat – “What you hear is a blend of three major cities: it’s a celebration of life\, and I wanted to make it sound like a soundtrack for a movie that hasn’t been made yet – maybe the next Black Panther movie!”Michael has integrated all of his diverse musical influences\, incorporating his guests’ talents while allowing his own personality to clearly shape the overall direction. His own virtuoso melodic bass playing shines throughout – “I wanted Lagos Pepper Soup to feature my own playing\, as well as songwriting and production – all my influences are here\, all my favourite musicians\, and I feel there’s an element of divine favour in how amazingly it’s turned out!’

SUMMARY:Curtis Taylor Quartet
DESCRIPTION:There will be two seatings at 7:30pm & 9:30pm for this performance. \nAward winning trumpeter Curtis Taylor’s lyrical and melodic improvisational style displays a level of maturity far beyond his counterparts. His unique blend of soulfulness\, harmonic sensibilities and rhythm melt together for an unforgettable sound that directly connects with the soul of the listener. According to Taylor\, “ When played honestly\, music is the ultimate conveyer of truth and beauty.” \nTaylor has performed and recorded with Patrice Rushen\, Billy Childs\, Gary Novak\, Bob Sheppard\, Ed Motta\, Marvin “Smitty’ Smith\, Rodney Whitaker\, Antonio Hart and great gospel luminaries Karen Clark-Sheard\, Kierra Sheard and the Singletons. More extensively Taylor’s stint with jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut included a notable concert performance at Kennedy Center recorded for NPR’s Jazzset\, an appearance at the Spoleto Jazz Festival\, and a week-long engagement at Dizzy’s Club in NYC. In addition\, Taylor had the great opportunity to tour internationally with virtuosic saxophonist James Carter’s Quintet\, performing in: Germany\, France\, Italy\, Spain\, Sweden\, Canada\, and Austria. Rounding out the experience\, was a week-long stint at Yoshi’s in California again with the James Carter Quintet. \nIn 2014\, Taylor relocated to southern California where he fostered a musical relationship with friend and mentor Kamau Kenyatta. Kenyatta\, is a Grammy-Award winning producer for Jazz vocal-star Gregory Porter. While building the musical team for Porter’s “Liquid Spirit” album\, he chose Taylor for the trumpet chair. Kenyatta stated that Taylor “graced the session with his elegant solos and precise ensemble playing” and noted his musicianship as “impeccable.” Gregory Porter’s “Liquid Spirit” would go on to receive the Grammy-Award for Best-Jazz vocal album of 2014.
