REVIVE BIG BAND LED BY IGMAR THOMAS
7:30PM & 9:30PM
Heralded by the Village Voice for having some of New York City's “most electrifying young lions in jazz, Revive Big Band has a finger on the pulse of today's emerging progressive sound while pointing to things yet to come for a new era of music. Formed in 2010 by trumpeter, composer and arranger Igmar Thomas, this multi-generational ensemble knows no limits while seeking to advance, celebrate and re-imagine sonic freedom in big band form. The Revive Big Band's well-honed musical sensibilities powerfully synthesize the art of the beat, treatment of melody, reverence of the standard, and nuances of time. Expanding the contemporary canon of composition as it dwells at the intersection of jazz, hip hop, soul and beyond, the band's repertoire features original compositions and inventive orchestrations of jazz standards and contemporary classics by artists ranging from Oliver Nelson, Wayne Shorter and Freddie Hubbard to A Tribe Called Quest, G.U.R.U, DJ Premier, Bilal and more, in never seen before and sometimes never to be seen again live performances.

MARC CARY PRESENTS RHODES AHEAD VOLUME 2 - ALBUM RELEASE PARTY
7:30PM & 9:30PM
Electro-Acoustic keyboard wizard Marc Cary, (#1 Rising Keyboardist in DownBeat's 2014 Critics Poll), celebrates his 20th anniversary as a recording artist with Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2 (Motema), a powerhouse follow-up to his seminal 1999 release Rhodes Ahead Vol. 1.
Keeping the original heavyweight trio of Cary, Terreon Gully and Tarus Mateen intact, Cary's fierce new project puts the iconic Fender Rhodes sound front and center, fusing drum n' bass, EDM and acoustic jazz, funk and rock influences, creating yet another visionary project to follow up his triumphant 2013 releases For The Love of Abbey and Four Directions. As the original Rhodes Ahead introduced Marc Cary as one of his generation's greatest innovators, heralding the electro-acoustic jazz sound that became prevalent in the 2000's, Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2 is a testament to Cary's prolific and forward-thinking vision, versatility and creativity.
