SUMMARY:Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this show is starting at 8 pm! \nThis year is the 21st anniversary for the Scott Gwinnell Jazz Orchestra\, which initially started as a rehearsal band for Gwinnell to hear his compositions and arrangements played. With encouragement from friends/musicians and an offer of a weekly gig at the Music Menu Cafe in Detroit’s Greektown. \nGwinnell and his musicians made a commitment to present high quality big band jazz music. After the Menu\, the band moved to the Cadieux Cafe on the east side of Detroit where gigs were routinely accented with the playing of Detroit trumpet legend Marcus Belgrave\, who eventually joined the SGJO for their first record in 2002\, “Basement Vibes.” \nDuring this time the band also began to branch out. Gigs with the late great tenor player Donald Walden\, a feature performance in Toronto at the International Association of Jazz Educators with sax virtuoso Dave Liebman\, and WDET radio dates highlight this period. \nNext\, the band began its exciting Wednesday gigs at the then brand new Cliff Bells. With the addition of some more skilled players\, the SGJO reached a higher artistic plateau. Working together every week\, the band gelled and impressed new audiences of jazz fans\, musicians\, and critics. SGJO then released a CD “Brush Fire” (2010 WSG Music) which won two Detroit Music Awards and also did performances with Aria Hendricks and Dominic Faranacci\, as well as performances at the Detroit Jazz Festival and other festivals which gave the SGJO more notoriety. \nIn 2009\, the SGJO was chosen to be part of a big project proposed by the Detroit Jazz Festival. The artist-in-residence\, the acclaimed bassist/composer John Clayton\, was commissioned to write a suite based on Detroit jazz legends. The SGJO would play a series of summer concerts\, with the finale being a performance to close that year’s festival. The suite paired the Clayton Brothers Quintet with the SGJO in a 55 minute concerto grosso. All of the musicians performed greatly\, receiving a 5 minute standing ovation.\nSome of the frequent musicians involved with the Cliff Bells SGJO group are: Keith Kaminski\, James Hughes\, Steve Wood\, Carl Cafagna\, and Mark Berger on saxes. Dave Jensen\, Terry Kimura\, Tony Buccilli\, and Stefan Stolarchuk on trombone. Trumpets are Bob Jensen\, Paul Finkbeiner\, John Douglas\, and Justin Walter. Jordan Schug plays bass and Scott Kretzer plays the drums.\nThe most recent project has been a recording of the music of Mulgrew Miller (Detroit Music Factory label).\nA High School Jazz Band will open at 7 pm. \nhttps://www.wscottjazz.com/orchestra-groups/

SUMMARY:Kathy Kosins
DESCRIPTION:Rare Hometown Performance! \nASCAP award-winning vocalist Kathy Kosins has won the hearts of critics and fans around the globe with her eclectic musical palette that expands the rich history of Jazz and Soul. \nBorn and bred during the Motown era of Detroit\, she began singing and arranging background vocals for producer Don Was (now president of Blue Note Records) in the early eighties\, which led to her becoming one of the most sought after session singers. As a lead vocalist she recorded for both Carrere (Sony) and Quality Records and later toured with Was/Not Was. \nIn the early “90s\, Kosins\, a ferocious writer and arranger\, fell in love with the freedom of the jazz art form and her writing naturally evolved into a more traditional approach. Stints with the JC Heard and Nelson Riddle Orchestras followed and led to a 1996 release of “All In A Dreams Work” (SchoolKids Records)\, an impressive debut featuring a first rate collection of nine originals and a cover of the Miles Davis composition “Four.” Reported by over 250 Jazz stations\, she reached the top 20 in the Gavin Report.\nHer 2002 release of “Mood Swings” (Chiaroscuro Records) continued to bring her recognition and success at the national level. On her 2006 release of “Vintage\,” (Mahogany Jazz)\, she rediscovered little known songbook gems which she placed alongside a few widely known\, yet unexpected tunes from outside the jazz tradition\, which brought her glowing reviews from journalists. \nIn 2012\, she released “To The Ladies Of Cool”\, a dedication to the West Coast Cool school of artists like June Christy\, Chris Connor\, Julie London\, and Anita O’Day. Kathy’s arrangements of those classic pieces stay true to the tradition of lyricism and understatement\, yet sound so fresh and innovative that it is sometimes hard to believe those songs have been recorded some 50 plus years ago. \n“The Space Between” from 2013 finds her in the studio with some of LA’s best musicians like Tamir Hendelman (piano)\, Robert Hurst (bass)\, Eric Harland (drums)\, and Larry Koonse on guitar on several obscure tracks that had been recorded by Shirley Horn or Nat King Cole. Her Jazz repertoire is always enhanced by her soulful vocal performance and it is no wonder\, that she decided to include a Chill Mix of one of the tunes from the album (“Night Bird”) which puts her in another direction leading to her most recent album which is slated for a spring\, 2016 release. \nWith the working title “Uncovered Soul”\, Kathy has recorded this ultra soulful set with Grammy Award-winning producer Kamau Kenyatta (Gregory Porter) and a stellar cast of musicians: Greg Moore (guitar)\, Mitch Foreman (piano\,keys)\, Kevin Axt (bass)\, Eric Harland (drums)\, and Munyungo (percussion). On the album\, she explores rarely heard Soul and R&B tunes by famous songwriters like Curtis Mayfield\, Eugene McDaniels\, or Aaron Neville and also more contemporary tunesmiths like Amos Lee. It’s a well- balanced set catering to both Jazz fans and Soul aficionados alike and destined to become a future classic as it creates a sultry mood and features her most intense and intimate singing yet. \nA past recipient of the Michigan Council for the Arts (Jazz Composer of the Year)\, Kosins has received grants from Michigan’s ArtServe advocacy group. Her clinics and workshops teach performance skills alongside business strategies for the independent artist and have been a success at colleges and universities across the USA. \nWhen not touring the USA or Europe\, Kathy excels as a painter. Her abstract acrylics on canvas are influenced by the cubist paintings of the “50s. Commissioned paintings are held in private collections and Kosins continues to sell her work at both gallery shows and concert performances. She also is known to paint as a multi media artist from the stage during various performances.\nKosins has recorded with many well known jazz and R&B artists to include Aaron Goldberg\, Reuben Rogers\, Eric Harland\, Peter Bernstein\, Larry Koonse\, Tamir Hendelman\, Robert Hurst\, Jeremy Pelt\, Jon Ellis\, Howard Levy\, Don Was\, Martin Wind\, Ben Wolfe\, Michael Henderson and more. \nShe has shared the stage and performed with numerous names in the jazz and R&B world. A few notables are: Cyrus Chestnut\, Terell Stafford\, Randy Brecker\, Javon Jackson\, Larry Goldings\, James Moody\, Kevin Mahogany\, Bernard Purdie\, Greg Hutchinson\, Eric Harland\, Red Holloway\, Grant Green Jr.\, Reuben Rogers\, Reuben Wilson\, Aaron Goldberg\, Tamir Hendelman\, Jesse Davis\, Eric Marienthal\, Matt Wilson\, Mitch Ryder\, Was/Not Was and Michael Henderson. \n“…she authentically recreates a lost genre of female jazz singing.” — Ralph A Miriello — Jazz Journalist- Huffington Post \nHer band will include pianis Mike Jelleck\, bassist Marion Hayden and drummer Sean Dobbins. \ndoing a mix of material from my Uncovered Soul project\, My To The Ladies OF Cool Project ( My Tamir Hendelman charts and record I had with him a few years ago\, based on the West Coast Cool) ( See attached about that project) and other assorted originals from past projects\, along with some classics.. \nKathy will also be Painting from the stage on each set\, as the band will play a tune that sprites my visual work.

John is a 2nd generation musician and a son of the “Jazz Age.” His soulful sense of swing\, phrasing\, and his ability to interpret and bring personal meaning to a lyric allows him to connect to his audience at an emotional level\, both as a vocalist and as an instrumentalist. \nJohn was integral member of the Sun Messengers band for decades\, leaving to develop his own career as a jazz singer and trombonist. He has had long associations with many of the great Detroit area bandleaders like Paul Keller\, Eddie Nuccilli\, Scott Gwinnell and piano master Mr B. Tbone has also played with a lot of great blues and R&B men as well\, including Earl King\, Johnny Adams\, Sir Mac Rice\, Pinetop Perkins and even Latin Jazz Great Eddie Palmieri! His repertoire reflects all of these influences\, most notably\, growing up in a musical home influenced by his father Fred\, who was an accomplished pianist working all the major rooms in the area. In fact\, a regular pianist at the London Chop House for fifty years! His repertoire features both hits and obscure rarities by such artists as Fats Waller\, Frank Sinatra\, Danny Barker and Louis Jordan. His own personal take on the Great American Songbook. \nTbone draws the audience in and brings passion\, soul\, a unique repertoire\, and joy and authenticity to his performances everywhere and every night!! Look for his upcoming recording “Back in Your Own Backyard” with the RJ Spangler Quartet.

SUMMARY:Sean Dobbins
DESCRIPTION:Jazz drummer Sean Dobbins got his start as sought-after Detroit area jazz sideman at a young age\, when he would regularly play with Blue Note artist Louis Smith. As Sean’s Career progressed\, he found himself the recipient of many awards and accolades including the “Woody Herman Jazz Award”\, an award for outstanding musicianship\, as well as the Louis Armstrong Scholarship. Due to Sean’s great talent both as a player and an educator\, he has been the focus of countless news articles and jazz radio programs. \nThough still young by jazz standards\, Dobbins has amassed an impressive list of playing companions. He has performed/toured/recorded with Johnny Basset\, Benny Golson\, Dr. Lonnie Smith\, Frank Morgan\, Joey DeFrancesco\, George Cables\, James “Blood” Ulmer\, Marcus Belgrave\, Larry Willis\, Rodney Whittaker\, Claude Black\, Johnny O’Neal\, Paul Keller\, Tad Weed\, Kurt Krahnke\, Jon Hendricks\, David “Fathead” Newman\, Donald Walden\, Cyrus Chesnut\, Barry Harris\, David Baker\, Randy Johnston\, Marion Hayden\, Mose Allison\, and a host of other great musicians. \nSean’s sound can best be described as hard-driving\, solid rhythm with refreshing melodic sensibility. Some of Sean’s influences include Art Blakey\, Jeff Hamilton\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Ed Thigpen\, Sonny Payne\, and also Detroit area greats Gerald Cleaver and the one and only Elvin Jones. A product of the Ann Arbor Public Schools\, Sean has stayed devoted to education throughout his life. Early mentor Louis Smith\, an Ann Arbor Public Schools band teacher\, impressed the importance of a good education upon Sean at an early age. Sean is known in his community as a band director\, drum teacher and positive influence for many. \nIn 1999 Sean was asked to become the director of the Ann Arbor Public Schools Summer Jazz Program. This program was designed to help educate and inspire young artist as they began their quest of learning jazz. In 1998\, a year before Sean’s arrival\, the program was in jeopardy of being cancelled due to low enrollment. In 2000\, a year after Sean took over the reigns\, the enrollment more than tripled and a year later\, the group was featured on WEMU\, a national jazz radio program. \nAs a father of three\, Sean knows\, understands\, and accepts the challenge of continuing the art from through clinics\, master classes\, and concerts for up and coming musicians. Sean makes it a point of incorporating educational opportunities into all of his road trips. \nSean is no stranger to local or national headlines; he frequently plays at venues such as the Firefly Club (Ann Arbor)\, Baker’s Keyboard Lounge (Detroit)\, the Music Hall Jazz Cafe (Detroit)\, Murphy’s Place (Toledo) and Buddy Guy’s (Chicago). His recent recordings include “Odyssey” (PKO Records)\, “Revealing” (Reparation Records)\, and “Christmas Songs for Jazz Lovers” (PKO Records)\, and Blue Horizons featuring Sean and his quintet\, the Modern Jazz Messengers.\nLook for Sean live with his new groups: “Dobbins\, Krahnke and Weed”\, “The Modern Jazz Messengers”\, and also various local and national acts.
