The Cookers $40.00 Wednesday 2/08 7:00 pm Buy Tickets
| Legendary All-Star Septet Live on Nighttown Stage! Featuring:
Billy Harper-Tenor Sax, Donald Harrison-Alto Sax, Eddie
Henderson-trumpet, David Weiss-Trumpet, George Cables-Piano, Cecil
McBee-Acoustic Bass, & Billy Hart-Drums. Experience
counts, especially in jazz. The more time musicians spend interpreting
tunes and interacting with others, the more articulation an audience can
expect. You can hear the fruits of such work in the expressive language
The Cookers bring to the bandstand and to their four critically
acclaimed recordings, Warriors, Cast the First Stone, Believe and Time
and Time Again (which was the iTunes Jazz CD of the year in 2014). This
exciting new all-star septet summons up an aggressive mid ‘60s spirit
with a potent collection of expansive post-bop originals marked by all
the requisite killer instincts and pyrotechnic playing expected of some
of the heaviest hitters on the scene today.
Billy
Harper, Cecil McBee, George Cables, Eddie Henderson, and Billy Hart all
came up in the heady era of the mid ‘60s. It was a period that found
the dimensions of hard bop morphing from their original designs, and
each of these guys helped facilitate the process as members of some of
the most important bands of the era. Hart and Henderson were members of
Herbie Hancock’s groundbreaking Mwandishi group; Cecil McBee anchored
Charles Lloyd’s great ’60s quartet alongside Keith Jarrett and Jack
DeJohnette; Billy Harper was part of Lee Morgan’s last group, as well as
being a member of Max Roach’s Quartet and Art Blakey and the Jazz
Messengers; while George Cables held down the piano chair in numerous
bands including groups led by Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Freddie
Hubbard, Dexter Gordon and Art Pepper. David
Weiss and Donald Harrison, from a more recent generation and the
youngest members of the band, are experts in this forthright lingo,
having gained experience performing with Art Blakey, Bobby Hutcherson,
Freddie Hubbard, Charles Tolliver, Roy Haynes and Herbie Hancock.
Each
member of the Cookers has spent time leading his own series of groups
as well, and each has a keenly individual sound. But it’s the
unmistakable power of teamwork that makes this music so commanding and
resonates with a kind of depth and beauty that speaks of the seasoned
track record of its principals (combined, the group has over 250 years
of experience in the jazz world and has been a part of over 1,000
recordings). You can feel the collective weight of that experience in
their CDs and especially in their live performances. Since this version
of the band was solidified in 2007 the group has performed at venues
around the world, including headlining the Newprot Jazz Festival, New
Orleans Jazz Fest, Playboy Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival,
Umbria Jazz Festival, Northsea Jazz Festival, Detroit Jazz Festival,
Chicago Jazz Festival, The Jerusalem Jazz Festival, The Guinness Cork
Jazz Festival, The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, Jazz in Marciac, The
Burghausen Jazz Festival, Jazz Terrassa,The Healdsburg Jazz Festival,
Jazz Viersen, Ronnie Scott’s and Yoshi’s. Don’t miss this unbelievable group at Nighttown!! Visit Website

Dominick Farinacci Sextet featuring Shenel Johns $30.00 Sunday 2/12 7:00 pm Buy Tickets
| "I
Put a Spell on You" A Special Pre Valentine's Day Show! ising
Trumpet Star Dominick Farinacci leads Dynamic Sextet live at Nighttown! With Special Guest NYC Jazz Vocalist Shenel Johns in her Cleveland debut! Featuring:
Dominick Farinacci-trumpet, Shenel Johns-vocals, Joe Hunter-piano,
Aidan Plank-acoustic bass, Paul Samuels-drums, Chris Coles-sax, &
Mark Mauldin-trombone. Dominick Farinacci
recently released his Mack Avenue Records debut, "Short Stories" -- a
compelling suite of music with a repertoire that spans genres and
generations united by the trumpeter/composer's soulful conception.
Bringing together songs from Tom Waits, Horace Silver, Dianne Reeves and
the Gipsy Kings as well as original compositions, Farinacci has managed
to create his own musical universe, aided by musicians of the highest
caliber. All of the songs have a narrative that any listener can relate
to. Farinacci had already achieved enough stature by his mid-teens
that Wynton Marsalis offered to help him set his sights on coming to
New York, and by 2001, Farinacci was one of only four trumpeters in the
world to be selected as the inaugural students in The Juilliard School's
first jazz curriculum. Life itself has many different sorts of
mentorship built into it. A life in the arts can't exist without these
kinds of relationships, and Short Stories is the fruit of the coming
together of two kindred spirits, Farinacci and LiPuma, from the same
home town (Cleveland, Ohio), separated by just under half a century in
age. What unites them is a clear, moern aesthetic vision that combines
the highest musical standards with a desire to be agents of change. Amazingly,
Farinacci found time during his Middle East years to also play an
integral role in the conception and build out of Cuyahoga Community
College's Tommy LiPuma Center for Creative Arts. There are so many
superlatives thrown around these days that they seem to have lost their
effect; but as this unique and deeply grounded album sinks into your
consciousness, you will undoubtedly come to the conclusion that Dominick
Farinacci is not only one of the truly outstanding musicians of his
generation, but also that what is behind the music is nothing short of
miraculous. With a voice that embodies grace and passion and a personal style that sways effortlessly from Jazz to R&B to Gospel, Shenel Johns has emerged as one of the shining stars of her generation.
Shenel has developed her own eclectic style, counting among her influences Ella Fitzgerald, Abbey Lincoln, and Sarah Vaughn. Returning
recently from Qatar where she served a musical residency at Jazz at
Lincoln Center Doha, Shenel next honored Billie Holiday as part of
JALC’s New York production of “Billie and the Boys.” And has performed a
tribute to another of her idols, Lena Horne, at New York City’s famed
Appel Theater. When she is not singing, Shenel is working behind
the scenes in programming at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Harlem Stage, and
other non-profit organizations that advocate for and support the arts. Visit Website

artists such as Stephanie Mills, Jeff Bradshaw and Algebra Blessett. www.mariamawhyte.com R&B singer/composer Myron Davis was
born in Cleveland; the son of a preacher, he grew up singing in his
father's church, also learning to play keyboards and drums. Upon
relocating to Philadelphia, Myron played in a jazz band; in 1996, his
song "Sistas" appeared on the soundtrack to the Whoopi Goldberg flop
Eddie, leading to a contract with the Island Black Music label. In
addition to the 1997 singles "We Can Get Down" and "So Fly," he also
co-wrote a handful of songs for labelmates Dru Hill before issuing his
debut LP Destiny in 1998. Myron

served in this ministry for over a decade. A native of Cleveland, Davis
continues to use the worship arts to share the gospel with those whom
may not normally hear it. In December 2012, his original production, A
Son is Given: An Urban Ballet, was performed at the Hanna Theater in the
historic Playhouse Square theater district. Davis' prayer is that he
will continue to serve the body of Christ through worship that will
cause listeners to want to experience the true and living God,
challenging them to grow in their relationship with the Lord.

and Aretha Franklin did he discover a world outside of gospel. Stephen
has been blessed to perform locally, nationally, and internationally,
including Germany, Switzerland and Austria, with such artists as Pamela
Williams, Walter Barnes, Jr. & Men Of Ministry, and Bob Singleton’s
Golden Gospel Singers. Stephen is currently working on his debut album.

| Rapidly Rising NYC Vocal Group featuring: Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner, Melissa Stylianou Live at Nighttown! Also Featuring: Carmen Staaf-Piano, Matt Aronoff-acoustic bass, & Jared Schonig-drums. Sure-footed
swing, sweet-toned harmony and ever-insouciant charm are embodied in
the new jazz vocal trio Duchess, featuring notable New York singers Amy
Cervini, Hilary Gardner and Melissa Stylianou. Blending the
classic and the contemporary DUCHESS has quickly earned a reputation for
beautiful singing and big fun at the group’s shows of “girl-on-girl
harmony,” as the three so saucily put it. The New York-based threesome
made its debut on record with the eponymous Duchess, released by Anzic
Records in February 2015. The album channels the 1930s inspiration of
the virtuosic Boswell Sisters into a wonderfully entertaining package.
“Three fine singers...join together in swinging harmony to whip up
music that traffics in delight…this fresh-voiced triumvirate plays it
straight from the heart, leaving any trace of camp or post-modern irony
at the door.” — The New Yorker “…the vocal trio Duchess is a beacon of jovial esprit. ” — Bobby Reed, Downbeat Editor’s Pick
“This threesome devises original arrangements of mostly vintage songs,
both familiar and offbeat. They understand that swinging music goes hand
in hand with an audacious sense of humor.” — Will Friedwald, Wall Street Journal Visit Website

| Legendary Drummer and Producer Back at Nighttown! With Very Special Guest Bobby Lyle on Piano & Keyboards. Playing all of his hits including "You are My Starship", "Valentine Love", "Betcha My Golly Wow", and More! Like
Roy Ayers, George Benson, and Patrice Rushen, Norman Connors is best
known for his major RB hits but started out as a jazz improviser.
The drummer/composer was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he lived
in the same neighborhood as Bill Cosby and became interested in jazz
when he was only a child. Connors was in junior high when he began
sneaking into jazz clubs and sat in for Elvin Jones at a John Coltrane
gig. Connors went on to
study music at Philly's Temple University and the Juilliard School of
Music in New York. Gigs with Jackie McLean, Jack McDuff and Sam Rivers
followed, and he was first recorded as a sideman when Archie Shepp
employed him on his 1967 Impulse session Magic of JuJu. After
touring with Pharoah Sanders and playing on several of his albums,
Connors signed with Buddah's Cobblestone label in 1972 and recorded his
first album as a leader, Dance of Magic. A few more jazz-oriented
Cobblestone and Buddah dates followed, and it was in 1975 that Connors
made R&B his main priority with Saturday Night Special (which
included the number ten soul hit "Valentine Love"). The rest of the
1970s found Connors featuring R&B singers prominently (including
Michael Henderson, Jean Carn, and the late Phyllis Hyman) and scoring
such R&B hits as "We Both Need Each Other," "Once I've Been There,"
and the lovely "You Are My Starship." Currently
Norman Connors is touring in support of his latest CD "Star Power" on
Shanachie records. He will be featuring his six piece touring
group and promises to perform all of his classic hits. Don't
