SUMMARY:Saturday\, June 12th:  Flugelhornist Ron Helman
DESCRIPTION:“While listening to flugelhornist Ron Helman’s new album\, you might detect a strong insinuation of line and form\, of motion\, elegance and grace – and for good reason. Before becoming a jazz musician at the ripe age of 44\, the New Jersey-born\, New Mexico-based Helman spent years as a dancer and gymnast. In his former life\, he served as a dance coach with the Juilliard School Drama Department and even provided chorograpical expertise to the likes of Sting\, Al Pacino ad Julianne Moore. A certified life coach and business coach\, Helman also trained as a classical trumpeter and performed in off-Broadway productions. He calls It Never Entered My Mind an autobiographical album\, and for the most part\, the music on the disc is as compelling and diverse as Helman’s life story. Produced by Mike Mainieri\, the program of 11 jazz standards unfolds with a sense of thematic balance\, alternating hard\, biting swing and misty balladry. Helman’s solo on a gusty “Just Friends” provides flash and pop\, and later a guest turn by vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway on “Born To Be Blue” luxuriates in slow\, deliberate gestures. Helman’s tone is of the airy\, wind-blown sort\, and positions him squarely on the Miles Davis/Chet Baker end of the timbre spectrum. But it’s a tone he adapts tp varied contexts. On “All Or Nothing At All”\, he engages in flinty dialogue with saxophonist Steve Wilson\, generating sparks in the heated exchange\, while on the album-closing title track\, he converses with pianist Rachel Z Hakim and guitarist David Spinozza in whispers. Bassist James Genus and drummer Joel Rosenblatt add crisp accompaniment no matter the setting or style\, and Mainieri’s clean\, clean attentive production ensures a crystalline glow.” \n\n\n\nFIRST SHOW is SOLD OUT.  Purchase 9:30pm seats below: \n\n\n\nBrian Zimmerman – Downbeat Magazine

SUMMARY:Sunday\, June 27th:  Mandi Strachota
DESCRIPTION:Born in Atlanta\, Georgia and raised in the wilds of Wisconsin\, Mandi Strachota is the product of southern roots and Midwest know-how\, a potent mix of practicality and soulful dreaming. Mandi has become a fixture on the Atlanta scene\, playing at local spots like Northside Tavern and Blind Willie’s\, and most recently The Vista Room and as an opener for Delbert McClinton at the Variety Playhouse in 2020. She began taking her music nationwide with a successful cross country tour in 2019 and a scheduled tour for 2020 that was unfortunately postponed by the Coronavirus. She is known for her soulful vocals\, but is a multi-instrumentalist who is quickly becoming known for her songwriting. Mandi released her debut album Fly in the fall of 2013. Her second project Unleashed\, which was released in September of 2017\, tells her very honest story of self-discovery. Embracing R&B\, gospel and soul\, with a touch of grit and country sway\, Unleashed is timeless in its sound\, but thoroughly modern in its message. Mandi was selected as Creative Loafing’s 2019 Reader’s Choice Best Acoustic Artist and was a semifinalist in the 2020 International Blues Challenge. Following the IBC in March of 2020\, she released her third album\, Pictures\, a blues based project that dabbles in jazz\, gospel\, and country and includes her Major 7 bandmates as well as a couple other local favorites. Her 2017 country single Whiskey In the Parking Lot was featured in the Indie film Live or Die In La Honda\, and she is currently in the process of recording a double country album aimed at being released in 2021. \n\n\n\nMandi is also the lead vocalist for the Wasted Potential Brass Band who performed at Bonnaroo 2018 as well as Super Bowl LIII and recently released their first full length album titled Ruining the Surprise Party. WPBB is expected to release another EP in 2021. She is also a former member of the local blues legend Mudcat’s band\, collaborating with him on his 2018 release Castaway. In addition\, she has worked on projects by Andrea and Mud\, Alex Guthrie\, and Eddie 9V.
