SUMMARY:Kenji Lee's Fortune Teller Trio
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“Lee achieved the principles of truth\, goodness and beauty with his music.” (Filipe Freitas\, Jazz Trail) \nKenji Lee is a saxophonist\, composer-improviser\, and educator based in Southeastern Michigan. \nBorn in Tokyo\, Japan\, and raised in the seaside town of Laguna Beach\, California\, Lee began studying music at an early age and spent most of his childhood immersed in music. He spent a decade learning from the late-great bassist and educator Roger Shew. Lee attended the University of Michigan\, where he studied privately with Andrew Bishop\, Robert Hurst\, Benny Green\, and Miles Okazaki. Upon graduation\, he spent time in both the Detroit & Seattle scenes performing with a wide array of musicians. To name a few: Wayne Horvitz\, Robert Hurst\, Marion Hayden\, Dr. Prof. Leonard King\, Kayvon Gordon\, Andrew Bishop\, Lex Korten\, Jonathan Barahal Taylor\, Andy Peck\, and Estar Cohen. All of these folks are musicians of the highest order and he feels extremely fortunate to have had each one of them shape his journey through music. \nLee’s latest album\, “Kyudo” is available now and features his working ensemble: The Fortune Teller Trio (bassist Andy Peck and percussionist Jonathan Barahal Taylor)\, as well as special guest\, vocalist Estar Cohen. You can read more about the album at: kenjilee.net/kyudo

SUMMARY:Susan Tobocman
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“Touch & Go is a superb record from a singer\, composer\, lyricist\, and arranger who deserves a wider audience. Tobocman’s originals are especially notable.”\n—Mark Stryker (Jazz From Detroit) \nWith her warm and flexible voice\, combined with impressive arranging and composing skills\, Susan Tobocman has been making a name for herself on the NYC jazz scene among audiences and musicians alike for over 20 years—performing\, recording\, and collaborating with some of the top players anywhere. She has toured extensively throughout Europe and the US\, and has also released numerous recordings\, including four as a leader on Japan’s eponymous Disk Union label. \nBorn in Detroit\, at 16 Tobocman won the National Scholastic Writing Award for Poetry\, then at 17 attended Columbia University to study the craft. Fast forward 15 years to when she decided to make the leap into the unknown (being a full-time musician)\,and the transition from poet to lyricist was a smooth one. While her first gig was touring with the renowned Tom Tom Club (Talking Heads sans David Byrne)\, she soon decided to take on jazz—a lifelong endeavor. Susan’s instincts were spot-on. She started writing tunes immediately\, connecting the dots between her gift for poetry\, early piano lessons\, and a childhood filled with music and art. Tobocman is now known for putting her own stamp on strikingly diverse material. Her newest release\, Touch & Go\, is most definitely not your typical jazz vocalist’s record. She wrote five of the 13 tracks\, in addition to all of the arrangements. Something else that sets Susan apart from other vocalists who compose is that she also writes instrumental music. As the late great Mark Murphy said about Tobocman\, “Susan sings and writes with a warm\, smooth delivery\, and a genuine feeling for the music.
