Brazilian music brings out the poet in the guitarist and vocalist Pizzarelli. Lighting on classic bossa nova, with assistance from the singer Jobim (the grandson of the Brazilian great Antonio Carlos Jobim), Pizzarelli basks in a tropical comfort zone that is as inspiring to him as the work of Sondheim or Ellington. In honor of Frank Sinatra’s centennial, Pizzarelli is also likely to invoke the late-sixties collaborations between Ol’ Blue Eyes and Jobim. ~ The New Yorker

"Laelume is a New Orleans-based American band playing original music. The group's ethereal sound and mixed-meter grooves are reminiscent of the near east-meets-balkans, with modern harmonic structure and a modal improvisational style. This music is a coalescence of sonic landscapes, painting pictures of motion upon the eardrums. The band features Ashlae Blume on keys/vocals, Moses Eder on drums, Oliver Watkinson on bass, and Cyrus Nabipoor on trumpet."

8PM-Midnight ~ $12

Davina Sowers – Vocals/Piano/Ukulele

Zack Lozier – Trumpet/Vocals

Ben Link – Tromobne/Vocals

Connor McRae Hammergren – Drums/Vocals

Matt Blake – Upright Bass

DATV’s shows are filled with New Orleans charm, Memphis soul swagger, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill, and tender gospel passages. Davina’s voice and stage presence defy category in a different way. Davina has been compared to Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Betty Boop, but comparisons don’t suffice:Sowers is a true original.

As repertory jazz orchestra, The Philly Kroc Jazz Orchestra exists to entertain, enrich and expand the international community of Jazz through performance, education and advocacy. Through the three basic forms of what defines jazz (improvisation, swing, and the blues), we are able to encourage and celebrate our personal freedom through individual expression while maintaining a common ground with others that allows us the opportunity to face any adversity with persistent optimism. We align ourselves with the mission of the Salvation Army and support their efforts to serve needs in the community through our musical endeavors.
