SUMMARY:Charles Lloyd Quartet
DESCRIPTION:“Charles Lloyd is an international treasure.” Carlos Santana\n  \nCharles Lloyd and Bill Frisell first joined forces in 2013 for a special project in Montreal. There\, their connection was immediate and the joy of making music together endures. Over the years that followed\, Bill toured and recorded with Charles in various formations; duo\, trio\, quartet and quintet. Additionally\, their recordings together include I Long to See You\, Tone Poem\, and Chapel Trio. For his return to the Dakota\, Charles has assembled a dream quartet. Here\, renowned bassist Larry Grenadier joins the band\, who was first heard with Charles on The Water Is Wide. Also\, the rising young star on drums\, Kweku Sumbry.  \n“He’s expansive in his musical discourse yet without a wasted note.” – Wall Street Journal \n“Ageless wonder Charles Lloyd is as dynamic as ever.” – Music in Minnesota \nNEA Jazz Master Charles Lloyd\, now in his eighth decade\, has never sounded better. Voted Downbeat’s Jazzman of the Year in 1967\, Lloyd was again voted the 2023 Artist of the Year. The arc of his contribution to this artform starts in the early 1960s\, and the depth of his expression reflects a lifetime of experience. \n“His shows\, full of momentum and intuition\, perfectly represent the idea that the best jazz needs to be experienced live.” – The New York Times \nOver nearly five decades\, Lloyd’s compositions have punctuated the post-bop period. He infused the traditional music with a host of world cultures and avant-garde improvisation.  “Lloyd is one of the greats\, rather like Joan Miro in modern art\, he has no peer save himself. Music of total transport and delight.” Jazzwise \nRecommended for fans of John Coltrane\, Abdullah Ibrahim\, Dexter Gordon and Jason Moran.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Cantus and We3
DESCRIPTION:An a cappella ensemble. A jazz combo. An intimate setting. And a whole lot of musical possibility.\n  \nJoin us for a special evening of music from not just one\, but two of the region’s most inventive ensembles! The event starts with complimentary passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails (cash bar) beginning at 6pm. Cantus & We3 Trio will perform at 7pm.  \n  \nWhat happens when the extraordinary vocal artistry of Cantus meets the dazzling musicianship of We3? \nExperience the Dakota’s refined and elegant Quinlan Room as two exceptional ensembles come together for a one-night-only event of musical virtuosity\, undeniable charm\, and irresistible collaborative chemistry. \nCantus brings its signature blend of eight remarkable voices\, moving effortlessly across genres with breathtaking precision and emotional depth. We3 adds in a thrilling combination of virtuosic piano and violin\, dynamic percussion\, and powerhouse vocals with the musical chops and improvisational flair to take each song beyond your expectations. \nThe “engaging” (New Yorker) low-voice ensemble Cantus is celebrating its thirty-second season! Cantus is widely known for its trademark warmth and blend\, innovative programming and riveting performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century. The Washington Post has hailed the Cantus sound as having both “exalting finesse” and “expressive power”. They also refer to the “spontaneous grace” of its music making. The Philadelphia Inquirer called the group nothing short of “exquisite.” \nWe3 is pianist Nicole Pesce\, violinist Suzanne Lansford\, and vocalist Renee Grant Patrick (daughter of the late George Grant of the world-famous Ink Spots). This trio is a powerhouse of talents. They pay tribute to timeless tunes with new and familiar interpretations of popular jazz\, swing\, and blues standards and more. Since its official debut in 2016\, the group has established itself as a staple of the Phoenix performing arts scene. They dazzle audiences with genre-crossing arrangements that make classics feel newly minted. \nThis special concert features audience favorites alongside fresh takes and surprise medleys. You can expect dynamic trio interplay\, spontaneous creativity\, and what fans love most—the undeniable chemistry of We3. \nWith a program that moves between jazz\, soul\, pop\, and art song classics\, each ensemble will take the stage for its own set and then join forces for a few musical mashups that will have you humming along long after the final chord.
