SUMMARY:BR Jazz
DESCRIPTION:BRJazz is a band based out of Atlanta\, Georgia and formed by a group of musicians with different nationalities. \n\n\n\nBR Jazz provides a taste of brazilian jazz & funk. The music allows us to connect and communicate with each other regardless of where we come from or what language we speak\, but our music is much more than this. Music allows us to feel\, to dream\, to wonder\, and to believe. It is an escape from the worries of everyday life.        The Band features vocalist/guitarist Sander Pinheiro\, drummer Emrah Kotan\, bassman Chocolat Costa\, and on the keys special guest Chris Moten. While Brazilian jazz and funk is our specialty\, we play many styles of music most of which have been influenced by bossa nova\, samba\, blues\, pop\, soul\, and reggae. \n\n\n\nIt is our dream to share our music with the whole world. We look forward to meeting you with our music!

SUMMARY:Krantz\, Carlock and Lefebvre
DESCRIPTION:KCL\, the iconic\, genre-bending powerhouse trio led by visionary guitaristWayne Krantzand featuring drummerKeith Carlock(Steely Dan\, Sting\, John Mayer) and bassistTim Lefebvre(Tedeschi Trucks Band\,David Bowie)\, held a Thursday-night residency at NYC’s 55 Bar throughout the first decade of the new millenium. Cutting live recordings from the club and posting them online in the early days of the internet and touring only sporadically\, KCL developed a thoroughly original style of interactive group improvisation inspired in part by the great Miles Davis Quintet of the 60s\, but played out in spontaneously generated contexts of heavy funk\, rock and electronica instead of straight-ahead swing. \n\n\n\nAs other instrumental bands of the day dabbled in derivative fusion and retro-jazz\, KCL became an underground phenomenon\, cultivating an international following of devoted fans of every stripe looking for an alternative creative music that served the mind\, body and spirit. Relentlessly grooving\, always innovative\, never complacent -KCL made contemporary music that resonated beyond category.Other sideman obligations sidelined the band soon after their Abstract Logix release\, “Krantz Carlock Lefebvre\,” in 2010\, but their reputation continued to expand globally through fan circulation of the band’s many live videos and recordings. Now\, in 2020\, KCL re-ignites to tour with incendiary shows throughout the USA\, Europe and Asia. \n\n\n\nShowtimes:  7:30pm and 9:30pm

SUMMARY:The Joe Policastro Trio @ 9:00pm
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by Downbeat for its “deft analysis of choice repertoire\,” and by the Chicago Reader for its “diversity of approaches to all kinds of source material\,” the JOE POLICASTRO TRIO is a Chicago-based alternative jazz trio led by bassist Joe Policastro featuring guitarist Dave Miller and drummer Mikel Avery. While firmly rooted in jazz\, the band’s open-minded\, inclusive nature draws upon a wide array of musical styles and sources while still keeping the aesthetic of an acoustic trio intact.  Their newly-released fourth\, Nothing Here Belongs\, focuses on the band’s original music\, whereas previous releases\, West Side Story Suite (2013)\, POPS! (2016)\, and Screen Sounds (2017)\, highlighted the trio’s ability to remake unlikely songs in its own raw\, highly idiosyncratic fashion.

SUMMARY:Slim Gambill
DESCRIPTION:Fresh off of features in ROLLING STONE\, BILLBOARD\, GUITAR PLAYER\, PARADE\, and JAZZ GUITAR TODAY\, Lady Antebellum guitarist Slim Gambill is making his return to Alpharetta with his instrumental jazz/rock/jam band project! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJason “Slim” Gambill Is a multi-genre guitarist\, producer\, composer\, arranger and songwriter. He is best known as the lead guitarist for the multi- platinum Capitol Nashville recording artist Lady Antebellum\, who has sold more than 16 million albums worldwide\, racked up 7 GRAMMYs and countless ACM\, CMA and People’s Choice Awards\, and had 9 #1 songs. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAn alumnus of USC’s Thornton School Of Music\, Slim also performed in the house band for NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly\,” toured with Tyler Hilton\, Josh Kelley\, played sessions for some of the biggest names in music\, and over the course of his career has found himself on stage with John Mayer\, Christina Aguilera\, Stevie Nicks\, Maroon 5\, Rob Thomas\, Zedd\, Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland)\, Aloe Blacc\, Kamasi Washington\, Earth\, Wind\, & Fire\, Jessy J\, Jake Owen\, Frankie Ballard\, Canaan Smith\, Devin Dawson\, Ben Rector\, Darius Rucker\, Vanessa Carlton\, Macy Gray\, Peter Frampton\, Kenny Chesney\, and numerous others. \n\n\n\nSlim Gambill’s debut contemporary instrumental album\, “Fake Jazz & Theme Songs\,” is a bold departure from his typical wheelhouse\, and yet marks a long-overdue return to his roots as a jazz and blues musician. Spanning genres from Contemporary Jazz and Traditional Jazz to Classic Rock\, R&B\, and even Soundtrack Music\, and featuring appearances from Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band\, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones) and Kenneth Crouch (Christina Aguilera\, Andrae Crouch\, JLo) and Dontae Winslow (Justin Timberlake\, Queen Latifah)\, the album has been well received not only for its shock value but for its musicality. Equally praised for its complex-yet-easily accessible arrangements\, hooky melodies\, and earth-shattering horn sections combined with tasteful\, subtle guitar tones\, “Fake Jazz & Theme Songs” is making waves not only in the jazz world\, but in the Nashville music community that Slim calls home. \n\n\n\nJoining Slim on stage for this one-night-only event are Ryan Madora (Robben Ford)\, Stephen Keith (Lindsay Ell) and of course on keys Latavius Mulzac!! \n\n\n\nFirst show at 7 SOLD OUT!
