DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:00pm and 9:00pm. These top fan favorites are back with their quartet at The Velvet Note for an evening of great festivity and song! \n\n\n\nBrothers Noah and Josh Thompson put their guitars together to form Roman Street.

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. Whether performing as a guitar duo\, or with a backing band\, Roman Street astounds with music that appeals to fans of many genres.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, March 16th:  Trio Incognito
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 6:30PM AND 8:30PM. David Bixler is the leader of TRIO INCOGNITO and a renowned alto saxophonist\, composer\, and educator who has recently \n\n\n\nrevitalized his career with the release of three new recordings: In the Face of Chaos (2019)\, \n\n\n\nBlended Lineage (2020)\, and Inside the Grief (2020). His latest work\, THE LANGSTON \n\n\n\nHUGHES PROJECT vol. 1\, is a unique compilation of music inspired by the poetry of \n\n\n\nLangston Hughes\, which has been highly praised by PARIS-MOVE as “a touch of genius.” \n\n\n\nHaving moved to New York City (NYC) three decades ago\, Bixler honed his musical skills \n\n\n\ntouring the world with the big bands of Lionel Hampton and Toshiko Akioshi. He later became \n\n\n\npart of the Chico O’Farrill Afro-Cuban Big Band\, playing a decade-long residency of Sunday \n\n\n\nevenings at Birdland and winning a LATIN GRAMMY for the recording\, Final Night at \n\n\n\nBirdland. \n\n\n\nHowever\, a personal family tragedy\, a traumatic brain injury suffered by his youngest son\, led \n\n\n\nBixler to change his priorities over the past decade. This shift in priorities and perspective is \n\n\n\nreflected in his recent creative works. \n\n\n\nFor the recording In the Face of Chaos\, Bixler assembled pianist Jon Cowherd\, bassist Ike Sturm \n\n\n\nand percussionist Rogerio Boccato who are sensitive interpreters of Bixler’s music. Their \n\n\n\ncombined effort produces music that is challenging for the listener without being afraid to \n\n\n\nembrace beauty. In All About Jazz\, Dan Bilawsky writes “In the Face of Chaos marks a re- \n\n\n\nemergence\, if not a complete artistic rebirth\, for David Bixler. It serves as a true inspiration\, \n\n\n\ndrawing beauty from pain\, and peace from personal struggle . . . In the face of chaos\, with \n\n\n\nBixler's knowing horn leading the way\, wisdom and wonder win out.” \n\n\n\nBlended Lineage\, a four-movement work for nine musicians was included in Jay Miller’s Best of \n\n\n\n2020 in The Patriot Ledger. The recording features trumpeter Mike Rodriguez\, pianist Jon \n\n\n\nCowherd\, along with a string quartet. Marco Cangiano\, writing about Bixler’s playing in New \n\n\n\nYork City Jazz Record states\, “There is no rush\, no instance on patterns\, just the careful choice \n\n\n\nof the right note and an unusual openness to what the other musicians have to say.” \n\n\n\nBesides his work as a musician\, Bixler also hosts a podcast called LINER NOTES with David \n\n\n\nBixler\, where he holds conversations with other jazz musicians. He serves as Director of Jazz \n\n\n\nStudies at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green\, Ohio. As a Selmer and Vandoren \n\n\n\nArtist\, he also works as a clinician and performer worldwide.

SUMMARY:Saturday\, April 5th:  Trent Patten and Louis Heriveaux
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. Louis Heriveaux is the first-call pianist for many notable musicians such as Jimmy Heath and Ralph Peterson\, to name a few. After being impressed by Louis’ musical integrity in his approach to Jazz piano\, Donald Brown immediately called Kenny Garrett\, and referred Louis to him\, for upcoming\, gigs. Louis has appeared as a member of The Russell Gunn Quartet\, featuring vocalist Dionne Farris. Louis’ name is becoming more and more familiar to the top names in Jazz as he continues to appear on the local Jazz scene in Atlanta\, as well as on the national and international Jazz scene. \n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Minnesota\, multi-instrumentalist Trent Patten was introduced to music at a young age. Both his parents being musicians\, it was natural for him to have an interest in music. Trent started playing the trumpet when he was 10\, but didn’t have an interest in jazz until he was 17 when he attended the Hilton Head Jazz Camp. It was here that he met some of his mentors and friends that really inspired him to make others feel inspired through music\, as they did to him. Around this time\, Trent moved to the Southeast area where he started becoming very active in the local music scene\, going out to see music and meet musicians and playing gigs wherever he could. \n\n\n\nDuring this time he played with countless jazz musicians such as Kevin Bales and Joe Gransden. He has also opened for very well known jazz musicians\, such as Arturo Sandoval\, Monty Alexander\, the Count Basie Orchestra and Quentin Baxter. After a couple years of living here\, he decided to study trumpet at Coastal Carolina University with Dr. Matthew White. After spending a year there\, he had an opportunity to study in Atlanta at Georgia State University with Dr. Gordon Vernick. Trent now lives in Atlanta and has been playing all around the city reaching people with his music wherever he can.
