APRIL IS JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH!

 

Australian guitarist, JC Stylles can fire up a crowd with relentless swing, cool them out with a relaxed groove or a beautiful ballad, and then reignite the blaze with a burning tempo that only a full fledged master instrumentalist could conjure. He has performed with Jimmy McGriff, Dr Lonnie Smith, Tony Monaco, Joey DeFrancesco, Pat Bianchi, and many others. JCStylles.com

Stafford, a Grammy nominated trombonist & sea shells player, was the first trombonist to graduate from the New School Jazz Program. He has performed/recorded/toured with Illinois Jacquet, McCoy Tyner, Abdullah Ibrahim, Tony Bennett, Roy Hargrove, Mingus Big Band, Lauryn Hill, Clark Terry, Reggie Workman, Dionne Warwick, Amy Winehouse, Oliver Lake & others.Stafford also tours with his own groups and gives master classes, around the world.

Marianne, a Queens, NY native (who has also lived in Venezuela, New Jersey and Massachusetts) is one of the most buzzed about jazz singers on the New York scene. Solivan has graced recital halls, jam sessions and club stages with such noted musicians as Roy Hargrove, Steve Lacy, Jeremy Pelt, among many others. Marianne has the infallible swing of Ella, the daring of Betty Carter, the matter-of factness of Carmen McCrae... Come out and see for yourself on Friday! Mariannesolivanjazz.com
