Marcus Miller Tutu Revisited featuring Christian Scott
And Wallace Roney sextet featuring Ron Carter
Plus many more!

The key to the Miles Davis legend is— innovation!  Universally considered   one of the most important figures in music, Miles was tireless in his quest for musical exploration. This evening celebrates two distinct facets of his powerful legacy.

“Side A: Acoustically Speaking” Wallace Roney, the phenomenal trumpeter and carrier of the Miles Davis torch, was given his horn by Miles himself in 1983 and pays tribute to the master this evening with bass legend and multi Grammy  winner Ron Carter and an all-star band. 

“Side B: “Marcus Miller: Tutu Revisited featuring Christian Scott” Miles’ electric period is brought to life by bassist Marcus Miller, multi-Grammy winning producer and composer of Miles’ historic Tutu album, performed live on our stage.

DIANNE REEVES, JANE MONHEIT and introducing NIKKI YANOFSKY

16-year old phenomenon Nikki Yanofsky was seen by millions around the world when she opened the 2010 Winter Olympics. Her love for Ella led her to record a tribute to the great diva.

Dianne Reeves, winner of four Grammys, was featured prominently throughout the critically acclaimed film Good Night and Good Luck.  Today, Dianne is respected as the reigning queen of female jazz vocalists.

AL DI MEOLA WORLD SINFONIA and  LEE RITENOUR
The guitar is a true roots instrument that has been on the scene from the beginnings of American popular music.  It has played a defining role in every form of music—from the blues and R&B to jazz and rock. Few artists rise to the level of sheer virtuosity as do these Guitar Virtuosos.

Al Di Meola, Grammy winning guitarist, first burst on the scene in Chick Corea’s historic Return to Forever band. It was just the beginning of a career spanning jazz, rock, Latin and flamenco styles. He is long considered one of the greatest technical players in the world.

Grammy-winning and multi-platinum artist Lee Ritenour , earned his nickname “Captain Fingers” for his virtuosic performances.  He’s appeared on more than 3,000 recording sessions and recorded more than 40 albums.  A pioneer of West Coast contemporary jazz, Lee is an internationally sought-after soloist, performing at every major jazz festival in the world.
