SUMMARY:Christopher L. Wilson Trio
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. (Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) ************************************************************************************** \nThe enlightening and freeing sound of swing is what first attracted Christopher to jazz. His interest in this feeling is what led him to begin exploring Detroit’s rich musical history which was and is replete with musical legends. He first studied with the late greats Bess Bonnier and Marcus Belgrave. Later\, he would join the Detroit Symphony Jazz Orchestra’s Civic Jazz Program where he first met esteemed bassist and educator Rodney Whitaker. By the time Christopher graduated from high school\, he was entrenched in swing and bebop  \nand would go on to further his studies within the jazz program at Michigan State University. While at Michigan State\, he had the pleasure of studying and performing with Rodney Whitaker\, Wess “Warmdaddy” Anderson\, Derrick Gardner\, Vincent Chandler\, Randy Gilespie\, Diego Rivera\, and Rick Roe. After graduating Christopher immediately began performing with his trio in Detroit\, including a weekly jam session at the heralded Baker’s Keyboard Lounge. A short year later\, Christopher relocated to sunny swingin’ Los Angeles where he fell in love with Southern California and spent nine years there as a result. During that time he played regularly with his trio and released two albums\, “Feelin’ Better” and most recently “Leaving Los Angeles” in August of 2019. Christopher moved to Chicago shortly after and is honored and excited to be part of another incredible city rich with musical history.  \nChristopher’s music is highly influenced by hard swing\, bebop\, and the rich history of jazz piano trios. His focus is the uplifting nature of swing and the beauty behind the jazz piano trio.  His arrangements are thoughtful and his music contagious.  \nThere are players who skate more\, players with more driving rhythms and more “original” versions. For listeners thirsty for “notes…like hoisted water/raveling off a bucket\,” for the generous lyricism that left the planet with Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan\, Christopher Wilson is a reminder that our musical well is deep and fresh\, that a new generation of players can still lead us to it. —Michael Lauchlan\, author of Trumbull Ave

SUMMARY:The Colton Weatherston Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Seatings begin at 5p & 8:45p respectively) \n************************************************************************************************ \n“Colton is known for his interpretations of standards\, swing\, and bebop\, with unique presentations of rare gems from the early jazz canon to French chanson with hints of blues and R&B. Below the surface of his subtle guitar stylings\, an explosive technical mastery transports his ensembles to heights of flowing groove and harmonic exploration. Here\, his pared down vocal phrasing acts as a foil\, centering the repertoire on his relaxed delivery of well known lyrics. A satisfying recipe for jazz in the 21st Century.” \n– Mortimer Cliftoner\, Philadelphia Exporter

SUMMARY:James Carter Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n************************************************************************************** \n\n\nJames Carter brings his energetic musical experience to Cliff Bell’s to bring the spirit of the holidays and jazz with this special show. Mr. Carter will bring a special guest artist to perform with his esteemed trio to present a show you will want to be here for.   \n“You have to be totally comfortable wherever\,” Carter says. “I feel that music equals life\, that’s the way my teacher always taught me. You just can’t go through life and experience it fully with a set of blinders on. I think there’s tremendous beauty in cross-pollinations of music and influences.”  \nIn many ways\, weaving together divergent impulses is at the heart of Carter’s music. Like the late tenor sax titan Ben Webster\, he’s given to furious\, high-velocity solos\, but is just as likely to wax sentimental\, using his big\, bruising tone to tenderly caress a comely melody. In 2000\, he released two albums simultaneously that amounted to an anti-manifesto\, a proclamation that everything is fair game. \nThe organ combo reigned for several decades as jazz’s meat-and-potatoes mainstay\, a populist vehicle for blues-drenched blowing. In the hands of James Carter\, one of jazz’s most sophisticated improvisers\, the organ trio is no less meaty and satisfying. But his virtuosic saxophone chops elevate the organ combo to a rarefied realm defined by delectable soul\, a gourmet repertoire\, and consistently inspired group interplay. \nFeaturing the lithe and muscular keyboard work of Detroit’s rising B3 star Gerard Gibbs and the propulsive drum support of Motor City trap master Alex White\, the multigenerational James Carter Organ Trio is now in its seventeenth year. \n\n\n \nMore information HERE!

He’s been compared to everyone from Frank and Buble to Dean Martin\, Mel Torme and Harry Connick\, Jr. – yet he’s evolved from being a stellar vocal interpreter to master storyteller and songwriter. \nCollaborating with his pianist Chris Codish\, Ben has written clever\, crafty tunes expressing every aspect of love\, deep heartfelt connections and the sheer joy of living life to the fullest in the sexiest\, naughtiest\, most sensual and playful way possible. Stylistically\, he lets his muse lead the way to booming percussion driven landscapes infused with jazz\, pop\, swing\, R&B\, Latin and crisp\, edgy house-dance beats that make him the ultimate contemporary hipster as well as a masterful throwback artist.
