SUMMARY:Saturday\, March 18th:  The Kevin Bales Quartet
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES:  7:30pm and 9:30pm.    By some measures\, Kevin Bales was a latecomer to jazz\, already 17 when he encountered the sounds and structures and became captivated by the freedom and corresponding challenges of the music. But if late to the party\, he wasted no time in immersing himself in the celebration\, declaring total commitment to what would be his life’s work and backing his announcement by resigning his job and designated career in computer programming. Kevin could commit to jazz with a reasonable degree of expectation. He was already an accomplished pianist\, with classical chops refined since the age of 10. So accomplished he was invited to audition for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra\, then under the direction of its most storied conductor Robert Shaw\, at age 16. \n\n\n\nKevin’s initial career move was to the University of North Florida and a budding if little-known jazz program. There he met and performed with\, and went on to record and tour with\, a number of monumental artists who had settled into that burgeoning North Florida jazz scene. Giants like Wynton Marsalis\, Louie Bellson\, Eddie Daniels\, James Moody\, Ben Tucker\, Ira Sullivan\, Sam Rivers\, and Nat Adderley. He counts among his mentors bassist Ben Tucker\, multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan\, guitar legends Nathen Page and Jack Petersen\, and the fiercely individual saxophonist Bunky Green. His meeting with Bunky Green led to five years of tours. His encounter with guitarist Nathen Page blossomed into 15 years of spot tours and four albums. And his work with trumpeter extraordinaire Marcus Printup has become a lifetime association that has included recordings on Blue Note/Capital records. Ten years touring and recording with vocal iconoclast Rene Marie culminated in a Grammy Nominated album. His most recent recording of music composed by Fred Rogers was selected as one of the top 10 albums of 2018 by Cadence Magazine and AllAboutJazz.com \n\n\n\nFew artists have the patience for teaching – as are few teachers accomplished players. But Kevin has amassed a reputation for his prowess in both professions. While still a senior at North Florida he was drafted into a full teaching load\, and continued to be an integral part of the school’s jazz program for upwards of a decade. Today\, Kevin manages his own jazz program\, overseeing an ambitious schedule of ambitious jazz students and runs the improvisation and small group programs at Georgia State University. \n\n\n\nKevin has amassed a long list of awards and a reputation as one of the finest jazz pianists performing anywhere. In 1994\, less than a decade into jazz\, he won the American Pianist Association’s Jazz Piano Competition. In addition to nearly every important jazz venue in the South\, he has performed in some of the most acclaimed clubs and festivals in America and around the world: the JVC Jazz Festival in New York\, The Bakery in Los Angeles\, The Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center jazz series\, the Toronto and Edinburgh jazz festivals\, and the Moscow Center for the Performing Arts.

DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY SHOWTIMES:  7:30PM AND 9:30PM \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe love affair began early\, which may very well explain how Taylor Roberts’ professional career is well into its third decade. Spanning as wide a range of influences as there are genres of music\, Taylor Roberts has earned a reputation on the world map as a rising star. Although his heart is deeply steeped in Jazz\, Roberts does not easily fit into any one box. His influences range from R&B\, to Classic Rock\, to Pop\, and everything in between. \n\n\n\nYears of intensive study with world-renowned educators such as Barry Greene\, Keith Javors\, and Bunky Green have proven to continually pay off as his career expands. His reworkings and adaptations of songs old and new entrance established fans\, while attracting new fans on a nightly basis. Roberts has appeared multiple times at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival and has toured internationally with the Christian Tamburr Quintet.  He has been hired by the Rolling Stones to play their private events. His position as the primary in-house entertainment at the Ritz-Carlton\, Amelia Island since 2014 has allowed him opportunities to travel the world and enjoy residencies at other luxury resorts as he performs for an international audience on a nightly basis. \n\n\n\nLikened to Tommy Emmanuel\, Russell Malone\, Wes Montgomery\, Tuck Andress and Charlie Hunter\, Roberts’ masterful playing has begun to etch his name alongside his heroes. \n\n\n\n***  SOLD OUT!!

SUMMARY:Friday\, January 27th:  The Joe Alterman Trio *** SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!   SOLD OUT!!  SOLD OUT!!  ***
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES:  7:30PM AND 9:30PM.  Atlanta native Joe Alterman expresses a certain upbeat naivete\, with a broad smile and bright eyes that make you feel welcome. One would not guess that this is a man hailed by greats; Ramsey Lewis describes his music as “happy music with tasty meat on the bones\,” Les McCann states “Joe’s on a ‘blow your mind’ level\,” and Ahmad Jamal calls him “a very special artist.” The 21st century has brought another transition for this thing called jazz; in one moment we see the push and pull between tradition and progression\, and in another we see Pop and Hip-Hop musicians emulating and sampling. In Joe Alterman we find none of this struggle; the music just sounds good. Our conscious faculties are instantly disabled as we tap our feet\, feeling the intent and joy of his playing. An old classic is new when you feel good in the moment. Or\, as legendary journalist Nat Hentoff wrote about Alterman in the Wall Street Journal\, “Alterman’s continually evolving presence on the jazz scene surely makes people smile and\, if the room is right\, dance. There’ll be no need for any last rites of jazz.” \n\n\n\n***   SOLD OUT!!!  SOLD OUT!!    SOLD OUT!!!   SOLD OUT!!!  SOLD OUT!!!  ****
