Since the charismatic\nvocalist posted his first raw home videos of himself singing Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra\nclassics to YouTube in 2007\, he has amassed over 5 million views worldwide for over 70 clips. \nBy increasingly popular demand\, the Michigan native has amassed hundreds of performances at jazz hotspots like Cliff Bell’s and a five year and counting residency at the Axis Lounge at the MGM Grand Detroit. 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.

SUMMARY:Esthesis Quartet
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) ******************************************************************************************* \nEsthesis Quartet was formed in the Spring of 2021 with pianist Dawn Clement\, flutist\nElsa Nilsson\, drummer Tina Raymond\, and bassist Emma Dayhuff. What started as a\ncomposition support group to keep the creative juices flowing on zoom\, became a\ndedicated writing and recording project. They played their first show together in LA at\nSam First in August of 2021 and plan to release their first album on May 27th 2022.\nEsthesis Quartet plays original jazz with a reckless abandon that shakes the\npreconceptions of traditional instrumentation roles. They treat each other’s\ncompositions with understanding\, respect and a treacherous amount of freedom\,\nleading to musical explorations that resolve in unexpected directions. Esthesis Quartet\nwas formed during a time when we couldn’t touch each other\, and the name of the\nband reflects this. Esthesis means elementary sensations of touch\, a reference to the\nmissed human contact and how much music represented and strengthened these\nconnections in lockdown. \nEach member of the Esthesis Quartet are dedicated performers\, composers and\neducators\, and they each live in one of the four time zones of the US. Pianist Dawn\nClement has established herself as one of the most sought-after musicians working\ntoday. With her joyful presence\, consummate technique and distinctive sound\,\nClement has gained the attention and respect of musicians\, critics\, and fans through\nthe US and abroad. Dawn is based in Denver\, Colorado where she holds the role of\nAssistant Professor and Area Coordinator of the Jazz and American Music\nDepartment at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Flutist Elsa Nilsson is\noriginally from Gothenburg\, Sweden but now based in New York City where she\nplays regularly at the many jazz clubs and is an adjunct professor at The New School.\nPaul Rauch of All About Jazz has said about her: “She is the logical choice to provide\na next step for her instrument in the world of jazz and improvised music”. Bassist\nEmma Dayhuff is the most recent bassist to graduate from the Herbie Hancock\nInstitute of Jazz Performance and is the fifth woman to ever participate in the\nprestigious program. She is currently based in Chicago where she is pursuing a DMA\nat the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Drummer Tina Raymond is based in Los\nAngeles\, CA\, where she is the director of Jazz Studies at California State University\,\nNorthridge. A unique voice in the Los Angeles contemporary improvised music\nscene\, Raymond blends traditional jazz vocabulary with African polyrhythm and\nclassical percussion technique. She performs\, adjudicates\, and presents workshops\nworldwide.

SUMMARY:Zen Zadravec Quartet
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************************************************************************************************** \nZen Zadravec\, jazz pianist\, saxophonist\, and composer views all music as a form of creative communication. The goal is to create music based on human experience. It is also to absorb as much music as possible to develop through the lens of Humanism based on the philosophies of Nichiren Buddhism. Ultimately\, Zadravec strives to create music that inspires\, encourages\, and touches people’s hearts. \nZadravec is a musical chameleon. Whether it is jazz\, R&B\, funk\, rock\, or pop\, he plays each with a freshness and confidence rarely found in someone so young. Born in Winnipeg\, Canada\, in 1974\, Zadravec studied classical piano from the age of five. At eleven\, he began studying the saxophone and the flute. Hearing Miles Davis transformed his life and influenced his decision to become a jazz musician. In 1992\, Zadravec attended York University’s Jazz Program\, and in 1997 he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. During his time at York\, Zadravec was also the recipient of two Oscar Peterson Awards for excellence as a jazz pianist. In 2000\, he earned a Graduate’s Degree in Jazz Performance at Rutgers University. \nZadravec also has studied with some of the biggest names in jazz\, such as Kenny Barron\, Don Thompson\, John Gittens\, Vic Juris\, Ted Dunbar\, and Ralph Bowen. A natural innovator and leader\, he runs two of his own bands: the Zen Zadravec Quartet and his fusion group Human Revolution. Zadravec has also performed or recorded with: Ron Carter\, Louis Hayes\, Karriem Riggins\, Ali Jackson\, Mike Pope\, Mark Whitfield Jr.\, Bijon Watson\, Mark Gross\, Derrick Gardner\, Vincent Gardner\, Todd Bashore\, Kenny Davis\, Steve Turre\, Ralph Bowen\, Sean Jones\, Conrad Herwig\, Freddie Hendrix\, Don Thompson\, Lorne Lofsky\, Charles Fambrough\, Valery Ponomarev\, Dave Watson\, Darryl Dixon\, Gloria Gaynor\, Joan Rivers\, Bob Newhart\, Sally Kellerman\, among others. \nVersatile\, creative\, energetic\, and dynamic\, Zadravec is continuously experimenting and refining his sound and musical conception through concerts\, recordings\, and education. His music is always exploring beautiful melodies\, interesting chord progressions\, and rhythmic diversity. Zadravec’s latest CD release titled Human Revolution is a musical work supported by the Canadian Grant Organization called Factor or (The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings).

SUMMARY:Andrew Rathbun
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************************************************************************************************** \nSaxophonist\, composer\, bandleader and Toronto native Andrew Rathbun has achieved a rare depth of lyricism\, authoritative swing and compositional intelligence in nearly 20 years as a recording artist. His work is rooted in modern jazz but also deeply informed by classical composition — his recordings have included adaptations of Ravel\, Mompou and Glück\, among others. He has written big band commissions for the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra\, the Brussels Jazz Orchestra\, the Metropole Orkest and other ensembles\, and performed and composed commercial music for roughly 10 years as well. \nAnother of Rathbun’s inspirations is poetry: his recordings Jade and True Stories set to music the verse of Cathy Song and Margaret Atwood\, respectively (both albums featured acclaimed Brazillian vocalist Luciana Souza). His 2002 release Sculptures featured trumpet legend and Toronto native Kenny Wheeler in a set that “cloak[s] subtle avant-garde proclivities in soft light and open air” (JazzTimes). \nRathbun has also tackled political subjects with his large-ensemble work “Power Politics Suite” and his 2007 quintet session Affairs of State. His other recordings of note are Renderings (duo with pianist George Colligan)\, Days Before and After (co-led with drummer Owen Howard)\, Shadow Forms (featuring George Garzone)\, Where We Are Now (featuring Billy Hart)\, The Idea of North and Numbers & Letters. \nRathbun earned a Masters in Performance from Boston’s New England Conservatory\, where he studied with George Garzone\, Jimmy Giuffre and George Russell. He became a fixture on the New York jazz scene during his years in Brooklyn\, helping to shape the sound of the music in the new millennium as he earned a Doctorate in Jazz Arts from Manhattan School of Music. He is currently Professor of Saxophone and Jazz Studies at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo\, where he lives with his family. He continues to perform in New York and internationally \n

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************************************************************************************************** \nKnown as a forward-thinking musician with a passion for the jazz tradition\, guitarist Randy Napoleon is an Associate Professor at Michigan State University. He is currently touring as a leader after twenty years of road apprenticeship with some of the most celebrated musicians and groups of our time.  \nNapoleon cut his teeth touring with pianist Benny Green\, The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra\, Michael Bublé\, and a thirteen year tenure with Freddy Cole. He has also performed with artists across the jazz spectrum such as Bill Charlap\, Natalie Cole\, Monty Alexander\, Rodney Whitaker and John Pizzarelli.  \nNapoleon has performed or arranged on over seventy records.

Nastos says\, “he displays an even balance of swing\, soul\, and single-line or chord elements that mark an emerging voice dedicated to tradition and universally accessible jazz values.” \nNapoleon has four records as a band leader with a fifth\, Common Tones\, released Oct 4\, 2019 on the Detroit Music Factory label.
