The title of the show is You Know What I Mean and features the instrumental talents of pianist Arriale, saxophonist Kelly, and the voices of Ms Cook and Ms Kelly.
Nina Simone, Abbey Lincoln and Joni Mitchell have established themselves as iconic performers and composers. The depth and authenticity of their music has profoundly influenced generations of musicians and touched audiences worldwide.
Lynne Arriale, Carla Cook and Grace Kelly have been moved and influenced by the strength and power of these legends. They will celebrate these great women of jazz by sharing their unique reinterpretations of popular classics with passion, soul and sensitivity in a magical evening of empathetic collaboration.
All three artists are all highly innovative and original leaders who have recorded extensively and toured internationally. Lynne Arriale's recordings and performances have garnered international acclaim over her 20-year career. Grace Kelly is truly a prodigious talent, who is currently featured in Jean Batiste's Band "Stay Human" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Carla Cook brings the powerhouse trio full circle with earthy sophistication and elements of R&B, European classical, Motown, Blues and Gospel.
Lynne, Carla and Grace have delighted audiences with this special presentation. Recent performances have included The Kennedy Center and concerts throughout the US and Canada. We invite you to join this dynamic group, including Evan Gregor on bass and Jordan Perlson on drums for an evening of joyful interaction and musical spontaneity featuring modern jazz classics, reinvented popular favorites and memorable original compositions.
