SUMMARY:Randy Napoleon Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n************************************************************************************************** \nKnown as a forward-thinking musician with a passion for the jazz tradition\, guitarist Randy Napoleon is an Associate Professor at Michigan State University. He is currently touring as a leader after twenty years of road apprenticeship with some of the most celebrated musicians and groups of our time.  \nNapoleon cut his teeth touring with pianist Benny Green\, The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra\, Michael Bublé\, and a thirteen year tenure with Freddy Cole. He has also performed with artists across the jazz spectrum such as Bill Charlap\, Natalie Cole\, Monty Alexander\, Rodney Whitaker and John Pizzarelli.  \nNapoleon has performed or arranged on over seventy records. He arranged as well as performed on Freddy Cole’s seven most recent records including the Grammy-nominated releases\, Freddy Cole Sings Mr. B and My Mood Is You. He performed on The Clayton Hamilton Orchestra: Live at MCG. Napoleon is featured on Buble’s Grammy-nominated CD/DVD Caught in the Act. \nNapoleon has played on The Tonight Show\, Late Night With David Letterman\, The View\, The Today Show\, and The Ellen DeGeneres show as well as TV shows in South America\, Europe and Asia. He has performed across the globe at notable venues including Royal Albert Hall\, The Sydney Opera House\, The Hollywood Bowl\, and Lincoln Center.  \nGuitarist George Benson calls Napoleon “sensational.” Detroit Free Press critic Mark Stryker says Napoleon “plays with a gentle\, purring tone that makes you lean in close to hear its range of color and articulation.” Washington Post critic Mike Joyce praises his “exceptionally nimble finger-style technique.” Comparing him to Wes Montgomery\, music critic Michael G. Nastos says\, “he displays an even balance of swing\, soul\, and single-line or chord elements that mark an emerging voice dedicated to tradition and universally accessible jazz values.” \nNapoleon has four records as a band leader with a fifth\, Common Tones\, released Oct 4\, 2019 on the Detroit Music Factory label.

SUMMARY:Nick Hempton Trio
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n* \n* \nNick Hempton is an alto and tenor saxophonist\, composer\, and bandleader\, producing new music in the modern/mainstream tradition. Calling New York home since 2004\, he headlines clubs throughout the city\, as well as concert halls and festivals around the world. Influenced by the greats of the instrument– Dexter Gordon\, Sonny Stitt\, Cannonball Adderley\, etc.\, and informed by a youth misspent playing Rhythm & Blues and Ska in his native Australia\, Hempton’s jazz is original\, approachable\, and always swinging.   \n\n\n\n\nFrom 2005 to 2016\, Nick led The Nick Hempton Band: “an unusually sharp\, cohesive unit” (David Orthmann– AAJ) performing original compositions at most of the major New York venues\, as well as touring regionally and internationally. With this group\, Nick released four highly praised studio albums: “Nick Hempton Band” (self-released\, 2008); “The Business” (Posi-Tone\, 2011); “Odd Man Out” (Posi-Tone\, 2013); and in 2015\, the innovative “Catch and Release” Experiment\, which was recorded and released track-by- track every six weeks\, before being collated for CD release. This was followed by the pared-back “Trio Stonk” (SmallsLive\, 2017)\, recorded live at NYC’s famed Smalls Jazz Club. \nIn 2018\, after years of flirting with the organ band format\, Nick recorded his sixth album\, the organ quartet outing\, Night Owl. Featuring renowned guitar ace Peter Bernstein\, Night Owl harkens back to the classic ‘60s organ band sound pioneered by Lou Donaldson\, Jimmy Smith\, Stanley Turrentine\, and Dr Lonnie Smith. In the fall and winter of 2018\, Nick embarked on an ambitious world tour\, taking in China\, Thailand\, Malaysia\, Singapore\, Canada and the US\, in anticipation of the album’s official release in February 2019.

SUMMARY:Aaron Bazzell Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n************************************************************************************************* \nAaron Bazzell is a musician\, composer and educator based out of Brooklyn\, NY. Born in Boston\, Massachusetts\, at the age of eight the family moved down south. Growing up in Metro-Atlanta\, he would eventually come home from school one today to find that his father had purchased an alto saxophone. After receiving some encouragement from his middle school band director\, he quickly became serious about the instrument. Originally a classical saxophonist\, it was the increased opportunity for freedom of expression along with the sense of community among its practitioners that would lead him to shift his focus to jazz. He holds a B.M. in jazz studies from Michigan State University and a M.A. in music education from Teachers College. His primary teachers include Don Taylor\, Jack Morrell\, Greg Ward\, Wess Anderson\, and Diego Rivera. Aaron teaches music within the New York City Department of Education where he hopes to develop within his students the same attributes of empathy\, focus and consistency that a life in music has provided him.

SUMMARY:Mike Monford and Detroit Effervescense
DESCRIPTION:Showtimes are at 7:30p & 9:30p for this performance. \n(Doors open at 5pm for dinner/Seating begins at 6:15p for the first show & 9:00p for the second show) \n************************************************************************************************** \nNative Detroiter Mike Monford got an early start on his love for music. It began at the age of four while constantly digging through his father’s jazz and R&B albums. His musical interests grew through his teen years when he absorbed himself in the hip-hop culture\, and morphed into DJing at parties under the name DJ M & M. The turning point came in high school when he explored singing\, but it was the saxophone that became his instrument of choice. \nMike immersed himself in private lessons with jazz legend Teddy Harris Jr.\, who also became his mentor\, and he took in the jazz scene at some of Detroit’s best-known jazz clubs – Bomacs Lounge\, Bert’s Market Place\, The Bluebird\, and Baker’s Keyboard Lounge. Along the way\, Mike’s mentors included resident masters Ken Cox\, George Goldsmith\, George Davidson\, Marcus Belgrave\, Donald Walden\, and Phil Lasley.  \nFresh out of high school in 1992\, Mike studied with master saxophonist Phil Lasley and also turned to his peers Dwight Adams\, Cassius Richmond\, Karriem Riggens\, Rodney Whittaker\, and James Carter. \n In 1997\, Mike was awarded a musical scholarship to the University of Hartford – Hartt School of Music. There\, he studied with jazz great and master saxophonist Jackie McLean. He also was awarded a musical scholarship from the Societie of the Culturally Concerned\, formerly known as the Bluebird Reunion\, based in Detroit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile studying at the Hartt School Conservatory\, Mike traveled to New York where he found and was hired by bassist Bill Lee (filmmaker Spike Lee’s father)\, pianist Marc Cary\, pianist Alan J. Palmer\, trumpeter Raymond Williams\, and bassist Hakim Jami. Not only did he perform with these greats\, he also recorded with them. Mike spent some 20 years in New York honing his talents\, and entrenched in the history and sounds of jazz. \nArmed with his experiences as a performer\, composer\, and arranger\, “Perseverance\,” Mike Monford’s debut CD as a band leader was released in 2012. The CD features Grammy Award winning pianist Marc Cary\, Tarus Mateen on bass\, Steve Williams on drums\, and Rayse Biggs on trumpet. \nLearn more about Mike here!
