SUMMARY:Alexis Lombre
DESCRIPTION:Alexis Lombre is a professional jazz pianist who is making her way onto the jazz scene. Raised on Chicago’s South Side\, she discovered early that the true essence of music is not only about what you hear but\, more importantly how music makes you feel. Consequently\, she believes that her musical mission is to keep the ‘Soul’ in music alive. \nBorn an ‘old soul’\, Alexis gravitated to the music played in her mother’s Kansas City childhood home. This music ranged from that of jazz greats Oscar Peterson\, Shirley Scott\, Stanley Turrentine\, Eddie Harris and Gene Ammons\, to Stevie Wonder\, Bill Withers\, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly\, The Dramatics\, Al Green and Parliament-Funkadelic. Alexis started classical piano lessons at age 10 but because of her attraction to the soulful sounds of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers and pianist\, Gene Harris\, at age 12 she switched to jazz lessons studying with former Kansas City pianist\, Steve Million. At age 13\, Alexis began participating in the Jazz Institute of Chicago’s (JIC) training programs which emphasized the importance of learning jazz on the bandstand. She began attending JIC jam sessions and then at 15\, received the JIC Kiewit-Wang Mentorship Award to study privately with the legendary pianist\, Willie Pickens. Alexis’ training was complemented by attending summer jazz camps at Juilliard\, Centrum-Port Townsend and in Kansas City and Louisville. Throughout high school\, she participated in the Ravinia Jazz Mentors Program for Chicago Public School students\, a program which emphasized the importance of learning jazz from the elders. For 4 years\, twice a week she was instructed by Chicago’s top jazz musicians\, which again included Willie Pickens. Her relationship with Ravinia afforded her the opportunity to perform commissioned works with pianist and Ravinia CEO\, Welz Kaufmann as well as perform tributes to Ramsey Lewis. \nLearn more HERE! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Kasan Belgrave Quartet
DESCRIPTION:There will be two seatings at 7:30pm and 9:30pm for this performance. \n  \nMulti-woodwind-instrumentalist and Detroit native Kasan Belgrave holds a unique stance in the city as one of the young torchbearers of the Detroit jazz collective. His father\, the late maestro trumpeter Marcus Belgrave\, laid a foundation for him as he continues to carry on the legacy of Detroit jazz royalty. Following close to his father’s strides\, Kasan takes pride in contributing to Detroit’s rich pedigree of musical mentorship\, as he strives to continue passing down the knowledge and exposure of jazz music to generations after him. \nThe 23-yr-old is a recent graduate of University of Michigan\, and also currently holds a graduate assistantship under bassist Prof. Rodney Whitaker at Michigan State University. Belgrave has shared the stage with many greats such as Nicholas Payton\, Barry Harris\, Benny Green\, Rodney Whitaker\, Theo Crocker\, Robert Hurst\, Karriem Riggins\, Dee Dee Bridgewater\, and the Jazz @ Lincoln Center Orchestra w/ Wynton Marsalis. \nKasan has performed around the globe. He attended a jazz summer clinic that his father ran at the University of California-Berkeley in 2011\, where he met flautist Elena Pinderhughes\, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire\, and Walter Smith III. He traveled to Barbados in 2013\, along with saxophonist Marcus Elliott and pianist Ian Finkelstein\, where they performed a masterclass and concert sponsored by the U.S. Embassy. He’s performed frequently at the Detroit Jazz Festival\, as a sideman for Wendell Harrison\, Rob Pipho\, Rick Margitza\, Nicholas Payton\, and Detroit bassist Ali Bey. \nIn 2017\, he performed a duet with the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin in her last ever live Detroit performance at the Music Hall. \nKasan will be releasing his debut album this summer\, but is prominently present showing his support for his musical peers throughout the major venues of the Detroit music scene.
