Billy Thornton was brought up in a family of musicians in South Georgia\, Tifton to be specific. In the midst of farms\, pickup trucks\, and country music\, Billy and his brothers went against the grain\, learning all of the alternative rock radio hits\, playing them in any coffee shop that would let them (there was only one). With their father\, they played jazz and smooth hits at restaurants and country clubs\, and at 17\, Billy fell in love with the acoustic jazz of the 1950’s and 1960’s. It is this passion for music from all genres that has kept Billy a top call sideman bassist in the southeast for the past 15 years. \n\n\n\nAs an upright bassist\, Billy has been known to “steal the show” with his rhythmic slapping\, melodic bowing\, and expert facility as a soloist. But now he has found his voice. Literally. \n\n\n\nAs a vocalist\, he aspires to honestly portray his emotion of the moment\, sharing his nostalgia for the music while incorporating a jazz musician’s sense of freedom of harmony and rhythm. Billy’s jazz-style arrangements of pop and rock songs from the past four decades mix easily with jazz standards\, surprising his listeners at times. His renditions of song from Nat King Cole to Britney Spears inspire audiences\, transporting familiar favorites to new places of delight. The song selection vacillates easily from contemplative to whimsy\, tender to raucous; all while maintaining integrity to self and the music.   URL:https://thevelvetnote.com/event/sunday-february-20th-billy-thornton/ LOCATION:The Velvet Note Main Stage\, 4075 Old Milton Parkway\, Alpharetta\, 30005\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thevelvetnote.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/E990AC12-520F-47BD-A8BE-5AA9704B7BD9.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220218T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220219T230000 DTSTAMP:20260406T092128 CREATED:20220125T021508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220202T001332Z UID:27721-1645212600-1645311600@thevelvetnote.com SUMMARY:Friday\, February 18th and Saturday\, February 19th: Willie Jones\, III feat.

Stephen Gordon brings his quartet featuring Eric Reed (piano)\, Stacy Dillard (saxophone) and Craig Shaw (bass)\, for two nights of performances that will focus on the music of the genius of pianist/composer/pioneer Thelonious Monk. Monk’s music will forever be embedded in the fabric of American Swing and Jazz\, and continues to this day to give one of the most prolific and masterful perspectives to melody\, harmony\, Blues and Swing\, solidifying its place into literature and required study in the personal\, intellectual study and pursuit of true art and musical inquisition world wide. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Steve Gordon.  Born on July 4th\, 1984\, Gordon grew up listening to Gospel\, Blues\, Motown\, R&B\, Soul\, Funk/Fusion\, Rock\, and some Country music.  His love of Jazz can be traced back to hearing the elements of Blues and Swing in church\, and shortly afterwards can recall being introduced to stride piano and the elemental great pianist of the turn of the 20th century like Jelly Roll Morton and Art Tatum by the age of 6.  Gordon’s first instrument was the piano\, which turned into playing the trumpet\, all brass instruments\, some woodwinds\, and then onto the drums at the age of 12.  It was at the age of 15 when he first saw trumpeter Terence Blanchard’s Sextet live at The Afro-American Culture Center\, that he knew that Jazz was the path.  Gordon graduated from Northwest School of The Arts in Charlotte\, N.C. in 2002\, and immediately sought the path to New York City.  Although he would attend Shenandoah Conservatory in 2003 (The Alma Mater of the great drummer Billy Drummond) and began working in the Washington D.C. area\, and continued working in New York.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Eric Reed.   Born in Philadelphia in 1970\, Reed grew up playing gospel music in his father’s storefront Baptist church\, starting at the age of five. “My father was a minister\, but he also used to sing with a gospel group in Philly called the Bay State Singers\,” Reed says\, in his website’s promotional materials. “He was my earliest musical influence\, and I also was hit heavily by Edwin Hawkins’ music of the 1970s. Gospel music remains a large part of my playing today.”  \n\n\n\nReed started playing piano at age two and began formal instruction at age seven\, but he is primarily self-taught. He often did not learn the written music\, but listened to his teachers play it first and memorized the pieces note for note. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“My neighborhood library had all kinds of hip jazz records and I was in there every day checking them out\,” Reed says. “Everything was there: Ahmad Jamal\, Erroll Garner\, Oscar Peterson\, McCoy Tyner; it was unbelievable!” By the time he was 13\, “I didn’t realize it\, but I had digested all of the jazz recordings that musicians were expected to know.” \n\n\n\nAfter four years of intense self-teaching combined with mentoring by composer Harold Battiste\, Reed could be heard around Los Angeles leading his own groups and working in the bands of Teddy Edwards\, Gerald Wilson and John Clayton. Reed has toured with Wynton Marsalis\, appeared with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra\, and performed in the bands of Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson. \n\n\n\nIn addition to leading the Eric Reed Quintet\, Reed tours the world with his ensembles and teaches jazz piano worldwide. When he’s not at the piano\, he serves as the artistic director of the concert series Jazz Composer Portraits\, at Columbia University’s Miller Theater. Reed continues to perform and record with master musicians such as Elvin Jones\, Benny Carter\, Wayne Shorter\, Ron Carter\, Cassandra Wilson\, Jimmy Heath\, Clark Terry\, and Dianne Reeves\, as well as with Natalie Cole\, Patti Labelle\, Oleta Adams\, Edwin Hawkins\, Jessye Norman and Quincy Jones. \n\n\n\nReed has recorded 12 albums: Soldier’s Hymn\, (1990)\, It’s Alright to Swing (1993)\, The Swing and I (1994)\, West Coast Jazz Summit (1995)\, Musicale (1996)\, Pure Imagination (1997)\, Manhattan Melodies (1999)\, Happiness (2001)\, E-Bop (2003)\, From My Heart (2002)\, Mercy and Grace (2003) and Merry Music (2003). Reed’s Pure Imagination stayed at No.1 on the Gavin chart for seven weeks\, which earned him the 1999 Gavin Artist of the Year award. Manhattan Melodies was also No. 1 on the Gavin chart for several weeks. Reed has written the scores for a number of films\, including Life\, One of Us Tripped\, and The Firing Squad.

A departure from the over-produced music that is out there today\, they keep it simple—the beautifully organic sound of acoustic instruments played by talented people who love what they are doing.
