SUMMARY:Joey Defrancesco Organ Trio
DESCRIPTION:“(Joey)was playing with the intensity of a runaway train”\n-Peter Hum of the Ottawa CitizenJoey DeFrancesco’s emergence in the 1980s marked the onset of a musical renaissance. Organ jazz had been a form of music that literally went into hibernation from the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties largely because of the introduction of high-tech\, light-weight keyboards. It was Joey\, however\, that ignited the flame once again with the sound of his vintage Hammond organ and Leslie tone cabinet. He not only illuminated this once dormant music form but brought back the many proponents of jazz organ who had been shuffled by record producers and club owners to lesser roles within the music industry. Befriending and supporting those who preceded him\, Joey became the new-age proponent of an instrument that had been pushed aside in favor of the growing technology.\nConsidered a child prodigy\, Joey remembers as far back as age four\, playing jazz tunes modeled by his father\, Papa John DeFrancesco and memorizing music from the many jazz albums in their home. Papa John\, a jazz organist himself\, took young Joey under his wing and nurtured his rapidly developing skills\, bringing Joey along with him to gigs\, Joey would sit-in with as many seasoned Philadelphia musicians who were around. Legendary players like tenor saxophonist\, Hank Mobley\, or drummer\, Philly Joe Jones\, would soon become aware of young Joey DeFrancesco and acknowledge his enthusiasm. Joey’s grandfather and namesake\, Joseph DeFrancesco\, was the patriarch and\, himself\, a musician’s musician; able to pick up a new instrument and teach himself to play. This gift was passed down to young Joey and now manifests itself in Joey’s extraordinary keyboard skills; piano playing; and organ wizardry  not to mention his undeniable mastery of the trumpet.  \nGet tickets here \n

SUMMARY:Shana Tucker
DESCRIPTION:“Her voice alone would support a career. What makes Tucker special is her adherence to the cello\, boldly taking the instrument into new territory.” -INDYWEEK.COM \nShana Tucker is a singer-songwriter and cellist who credits her genre-bending ChamberSoul™ journey to the influences of her jazz and classical roots\, interwoven with 80’s & 90’s pop music\, movie soundtracks\, and world music. \nShana’s journey as a solo artist began in 2009\, when she arrived in Durham\, NC and quickly became a staple in the vibrant Triangle music scene. INDYWEEK.COMwrites\, “Indeed\, crossovers and connections are a central theme of Tucker’s career\, from the cello’s liminal range to her interests in various genres. Her debut album SHiNE corrodes the music industry boundaries between classical\, jazz\, folk\, R&B and soul.”Triangle Arts & Entertainment notes Shana as “a complex musician who offers not only a world-class voice that rivals that of Cleo Laine or Diana Krall\, but also is an accomplished cellist…able to compete with musicians who make their living simply by playing one instrument…she carves out a space that is intrinsically hers…”. \nhttp://www.shanatucker.com/

SUMMARY:The Dustbowl Revival
DESCRIPTION:Advance Tickets Here \nIn a city like Los Angeles\, home to musical stars in nearly every known genre\, handing out the Best Live Band title is not easy. But the free-thinking local collective Dustbowl Revival’s upbeat\, old-school\, All-American sonic safaris exemplify everything shows should be: hot\, spontaneous\, engaging and\, best of all\, a pleasure to hear. ”  –LA WEEKLY \nBluegrass. Swing. Hot jazz. Pre-war blues. Southern soul. New Orleans funk. The Dustbowl Revival is what you could call an American roots orchestra with eight full-time members — and they play it all\, mashing the sounds of traditional American music into a genre-hopping\, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal. This isn’t a throwback band. It’s a celebration of the sounds that have kept America moving for more than a century\, performed with all the flair of a medicine show and rooted in the sweat and swagger of a juke joint song swap. \nhttp://www.dustbowlrevival.com/ \n
