SUMMARY:Saturday\, August 22nd:  Saxophonist Mike Burton
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM AND 9:30PM. Michael Burton is an acclaimed saxophonist\, producer\, and educator known for his soulful\, genre-blending sound across jazz\, R&B\, and gospel. A native of Jackson\, Mississippi\, he was raised in a musical household that shaped his expressive tone and artistic foundation from an early age. He earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Jazz Studies from Indiana University Jacobs School of Music\, where he studied under legendary educator David Baker and performed with the IU Soul Revue. \n\n\n\nOver his career\, Burton has performed with icons including Aretha Franklin\, Mary J. Blige\, Jill Scott\, and Anita Baker\, and is currently touring with Usher\, Doja Cat\, and Patti LaBelle. As a recording artist\, he has contributed to projects across jazz\, R&B\, gospel\, and hip-hop\, collaborating with artists including The Jacksons\, PJ Morton\, Lecrae\, Kelly Rowland\, and Kirk Franklin\, among others. \n\n\n\nAs a solo artist\, Burton is focused on building a distinct voice rooted in space\, emotion\, and storytelling through sound. His latest release\, “Downtime\,” reflects that direction—an introspective\, mood-driven piece that highlights restraint as much as expression\, and showcases his evolving identity beyond the stage and studio work with other artists. \n\n\n\nHe is also a dedicated educator and mentor\, having served as an Artist-in-Residence in the U.S. Virgin Islands and continuing to shape the next generation of musicians while remaining based in the Atlanta area.

SUMMARY:Roman Street!
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES: 6:30pm and 9:30pm. Brothers Noah and Josh Thompson put their guitars together to form Roman Street. Since the college years\, this brotherly jam session has developed into a Billboard/iTunes charting band who many have dubbed ‘the next generation’ of Jazz Fusion. Roman Street\, named for an old roman street in the Alps where they studied guitar\, is an internationally trained instrumental band specializing in improvisational fusion of Classical\, Gypsy and Contemporary Jazz\, Latin\, and Nuevo Flamenco. 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.

SUMMARY:The Velvet Note Signature Series:  The Oz Noy Trio Starring Dave Weckl and Brian Charette
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES:  7:30PM & 9:30PM.  Every once in a while\, an opportunity comes along that reminds me why I built The Velvet Note in the first place. This is one of those weekends. Our Signature Series welcomes guitarist Oz Noy\, one of the most original voices in contemporary jazz and fusion\, joined by legendary drummer Dave Weckl and brilliant Hammond B-3 master Brian Charette. Individually\, each of these musicians has earned the respect of audiences and fellow artists around the world. Together\, they create something that’s spontaneous\, fearless\, and impossible to predict. It’s the kind of music that can only happen when extraordinary musicians trust each other enough to take chances—and invite us along for the ride.  About the musicians: \n\n\n\n\nOz Noy\n\nInternationally acclaimed guitarist known for blending jazz\, blues\, funk\, and rock into a uniquely original style.\n\n\n\nHas performed and recorded with artists including Eric Johnson\, Mike Stern\, Richard Bona\, and Vinnie Colaiuta.\n\n\n\n\n\nDave Weckl\n\nWidely regarded as one of the most influential drummers of the modern era and a longtime member of the Chick Corea Elektric Band.\n\n\n\nMultiple Modern Drummer magazine award winner whose recordings and educational materials have inspired generations of drummers worldwide.\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Charette\n\nGrammy-nominated Hammond B-3 organist celebrated for redefining the role of the jazz organ in contemporary music.\n\n\n\nHas performed and recorded with leading artists including Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, Chaka Khan\, and many of today’s top jazz musicians.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes this event even more remarkable is where you’ll experience it. In most cities\, a trio of this caliber would be performing in a concert hall where you’d be watching from fifty or a hundred feet away. At The Velvet Note\, you’ll experience every note\, every smile\, every glance between the musicians from just a few feet away. That’s exactly what our Signature Series is all about—bringing internationally acclaimed artists into an intimate setting where the audience becomes part of the performance. If you love exceptional musicianship\, unforgettable moments\, and the thrill of hearing music that will never be played exactly the same way again\, I hope you’ll join us October 22nd\, 23rd\, or 24th. Seating is extremely limited\, and I fully expect these performances to sell out.
