DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES ARE AT 7:30PM & 9:30PM FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. Doors open at 5pm for dinner. Seating begins at 6pm for “Dinner & a Show”. The second show starts seating at 9pm.\n“Perhaps the most creative improviser in Gypsy jazz today\, Mr. Wrembel plays the guitar with a rich and colorful lyricism.” –New York Times \nStephane Wrembel is quite simply one of the finest guitar players in the world. The breadth and range of his playing and compositions are unmatched. To say that Wrembel— who learned his craft among the Gypsies at campsites in the French countryside— has already had a remarkable career would be an under-statement. This prolific\, virtuoso guitarist has been releasing a steady stream of music since 2006 and has truly made his mark as one of the most original guitar voices in contemporary music. Stephane Wrembel is widely known for “Bistro Fada”\, the theme song from the 2011 Woody Allen Oscar winning film and Grammy Award winning soundtrack\, Midnight In Paris. \n“a revelation”    – Rolling Stone Magazine  \nEvan Perri\, guitar\nDetroit-based guitarist Evan Perri is a versatile and expressive voice in today’s jazz scene\, known for his fluid technique\, rich harmonic sense\, and stylistic range that bridges straight-ahead jazz\, contemporary improvisation\, and modern groove-based sounds. A former member of the acclaimed ensemble Hot Club of Detroit\, Perri has performed extensively throughout the Midwest and beyond\, appearing at leading venues and festivals while collaborating with a wide spectrum of artists across genres. His playing reflects a deep respect for the jazz tradition alongside a forward-looking approach\, making him both a compelling bandleader and an in-demand sideman. Whether on stage or in the studio\, Perri brings a distinctive musical perspective marked by creativity\, sensitivity\, and dynamic energy. \nJeff Pedraz\, bass\nBassist Jeff Pedraz is a cornerstone of Detroit’s vibrant jazz community\, recognized for his warm tone\, impeccable time\, and intuitive musicality. A longtime collaborator with many of the region’s top ensembles and bandleaders\, Pedraz has performed with a wide array of Detroit-based jazz groups\, contributing to the city’s rich musical legacy. Equally at home in small ensemble settings and larger groups\, he is known as a dependable and deeply musical collaborator\, supporting and elevating fellow artists with his nuanced approach to rhythm and harmony. With a style rooted in tradition yet adaptable to a variety of contemporary contexts\, Pedraz continues to be a vital presence on the Midwest jazz scene. \n“a revelation”    – Rolling Stone Magazine  \n \nBorn in Paris and raised in Fontainebleau\, the home of Impressionism and Django\, Wrembel has been based in the New York City region for the past 20 years and since his studies at Berklee. He has toured around the world\, and is very active on the musical scene in many countries including USA\, Canada\, France\, Israel and India. Recently\, Stephane has performed as a headliner at the legendary Carnegie Hall and at The Town Hall in New York as well as at the Festival Django Reinhardt in France. Wrembel has also headlined at Lincoln Center\, played major Festivals\, recorded with mandolin legend David Grisman\, toured with master violinist Mark O’Connor and shared stages with al long list of world renowned musicians \n

SUMMARY:Joslyn & The Sweet Compression
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. Doors open at 5pm for dinner. Seating begins at 6pm for “Dinner & a Show”. The second show starts seating at 9pm.\n“A refreshing take on the neo-soul / funk sound\, unbound by modern cliches.”\n– Glide Magazine   \nJoslyn & The Sweet Compression are bona fide\, and they want the world to know it. \n \nA rising force out of Lexington\, Kentucky\, the band led by Joslyn Hampton come out swinging on their sophomore album\, ready to uplift and inspire through their singular and stirring soul-funk sound. 2019’s critically acclaimed debut album made them a favorite headliner at regional clubs and music festivals. After a grueling and relentless tour schedule – one that saw them supporting Tower of Power at New York’s Sony Hall and Tyler Childers at Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre – the band are back with Bona Fide\, a sonically and emotionally charged record that captures their breathtaking live energy as well as their humanity. \nReleased August 25\, 2023\, Bona Fide is a resounding testament to Joslyn & The Sweet Compression’s unparalleled talents\, as well as an homage to the band’s co-founder (and Joslyn Hampton’s step-father)\, Marty Charters\, who passed away in 2022. \nMusically\, Bona Fide blends soulful and smoldering neo-funk with elements of ‘70s and ‘80s R&B. Hampton pulls from her inspirations – Aretha Franklin\, Chaka Khan\, Whitney Houston\, and Mariah Carey – as well as from the opera singers she studied in college. “I find myself applying all of the things I’ve learned to my passion now\, and placing it in my music\,” she shares. \nThe result is a unique\, hooky style that helps Joslyn & The Sweet Compression stand apart from their contemporaries. To Hampton\, Bona Fide is a record about a ride she calls “the human rollercoaster.” \n“You have falling in love\, getting cheated on\, celebrating this life – you only get one\,” she says. “We go through so many human emotions on this album\, and that’s what I want to bring to life: The ride of being a human! I want to take you to the moment you found the love of your life when you looked across the room. This album is literally meant to take you to every human emotion you have.” \n
