Jazz at MOCA presents the Jean Caze Sextet May 27, in honor of Haitian Flag Day. The FREE concert runs from 8:00-9:15 PM at 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami. Featured with Jean are Vaughn Henry – keys, Ivan Malespin – trombone, Josh Allen – bass, David Chiverton – drums, and Harvel Nakundi – percussion. info at mocanomi.org or 305-893-6211. Curated by KCC Productions.

Winner of the 2006 International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition, and the 2004 National Trumpet Jazz Competition, Jean Caze has emerged as one of today’s most exciting new voices in jazz. At the age of twenty-seven Jean has performed with the likes of Herbie Hancock, Najee, Arturo Sandoval, Roberta Flack, Al Jarreau, and George Duke, to name a few. Jean also played with the legendary rock group “Chicago” live on NBC (while in high school), and has opened for the Wynton Marsalis Quartet. Most recently, the Haitian-born trumpeter won second place in the 2007 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Jean has received abundant praise from critics, peers and jazz enthusiasts alike who have taken to Jean’s lyrical tone and tasteful ideas. He has been hailed a “true improviser” and even compared to Miles Davis by fellow trumpet player Carl Saunders. Though his roots are solidly planted in jazz, Jean can flawlessly switch between genres. Having already released one CD, “Miami Jazz Scene,” he is currently working on completing his second.

“Strong, and unexpectedly diverse, Mr. Caze confidently evokes Miles Davis.”

Step back in time for a vintage-inspired cultural immersion at Swyngwood in Miami’s cultural arts epicenter, Wynwood on May 20, 2016. Swyngwood’s mission is to inspire social change by bringing people together for deeper human connections through vintage swing dance and its culture.

In the 1940s, segregation was commonplace, but several Historians credit swing dance and music for leading the way to integration, bridging the gaps between communities. South Florida Lindy Collective (SFLC) aims to bridge gaps that continue to exist today. Swing dance instruction will encourage attendees to meet their neighbors, rotate partners, and make new friends to build a stronger sense of community.

Also on Swyngwood’s jam-packed agenda:
– The Pitbull of Blues Band performing rockabilly and blues to keep the party hopping.
– Burlesque performances by Miss Jenna Beth and Candy Muldune showcasing the class and sass of yesteryear.
– View Swyngwood’s Inaugural Rat Rod Car Exhibition, curated by Russ G Events and Miami Movie Cars
– Try our signature Swyngwood Ale or O.G., carefully crafted by Infected Brewery*

– Vintage fashion and treasures available from the LA Boudoir’s pop-up shop.*
– Photography sessions with Erika Nelly Photography, Pin-Up Photographer featured in Delicious Dolls Magazine, Teased Pin Up Magazine, and Vintage Affair Magazine.*

El Tucan Presents Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros Weekend Takeover 5/12/16, 5/13/16, 5/14/16

1111 SW 1ST AVE,
Miami, Florida 33130
RSVP / Register
Cost: General admission is $20 for gentlemen and complimentary for the ladies, please visit the box office upon arrival.

WHO: The crowd holds their breath, time is suspended in the moment and then it hits you… lights go up and details of your surroundings are fully illuminated for the first time: bronze touches, creamy tropical palettes, rich velvet accents, beautiful people in extravagant fabrics, clinking champagne glasses, and sparkling crystal chandeliers. Lights, sound, action! From Thursday, May 12 through May 14, Miami’s newly opened, buzz-worthy cabaret, El Tucán, draws the curtains on Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros for a weekend takeover launch.

The Havana-born Gerardo Contino, “El Abogado de la Salsa,” is a Cuban singer and songwriter. This former lead singer of the Cuban mega-group NG La Banda is a party onstage: he loves to improvise, pull the audience into call & response, and provoke fans into hip-shaking abandon. Since moving to New York City, Gerardo started his own band, “Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros,” with Axel Tosca Laugart, Luisito Quintero, and John Benitez. They released their debut album, Somos Latinos, in 2013 to very high critical acclaim. Together the two have toured all over the world, as well as in Gerardo’s new hometown, NYC.

WHAT: Offering a departure from the usually scheduled shows, “Weekend Takeovers” will bring to the stage an exciting, new concert series. El Tucan hopes to enlighten Miami by providing access to unique Latin American talent. Once a month, the weekend takeover will also bring great Cuban bands from New York to perform an exclusive 3 day residency.

Performing Thursday, May 12 through May 14, Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros will be the second installment of the weekend takeover. After a successful Weekend Takeover this past April by Chino Pons y Grupo Irek, another New York City cuban artist, the venue is excited to have Gerardo Contino y Los Habaneros join them this month of May for the next 3 day residency.

“Once a month, we hope to give people the chance to catch something different, fresh and from another city. With this, we hope to highlight the best talent in town as well as showcase strong talent outside of Miami.” Quotes Emilia Menocal, Creative Director of El Tucan.

WHEN: Thursday, May 12 through May 14, 2016

RSVP: El Tucan has one live music and entertainment show on Thursday, and two seatings Friday through Saturday. First dinner seating offers availability at 8:00 pm and the second seating over the weekend is at 11:00 pm. Guest should arrive promptly and with all guests in attendance prior to being seated. There is a 15 minute maximum hold time for all table reservations. To request dinner reservations, please call 305-535-0065.

Dinner reservations are not required of all guests, and El Tucan invites guests to gather at the bar and general admission area to enjoy the show. General admission is $20 for gentlemen and complimentary for the ladies, please visit the box office upon arrival.

When we talk about civic engagement, problem solving, and the future of Miami, we hear the same two questions: where are the young people and who is engaging the next generation of leaders?

To help answer those questions, the New Leaders Council (NLC) Miami invites you to an evening of cocktails and celebration on June 9 from 6 PM to 10 PM at the Woman’s Club of Coconut Grove. Meet the 2016 fellows at our graduation and fundraiser and help us build a more civically engaged Miami!

NLC Miami is one of the premier chapters of a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to recruit, train, promote, and network the next generation of progressive social and political entrepreneurs. We bring a diverse group of rising stars together for a leadership institute that develops their practical skills, focuses their impact work goals, and connects them with local leaders in politics, government, business, education, the arts and sciences, and the nonprofit sector.

With your support, we can continue to plant the seeds for dynamic collaborations among people and organizations that would never have come together but for NLC. We want you to get to know our fellows (past and present) and we know you will be energized by the experience. It takes a village, and Miami is ours. Join us, celebrate, and help us build a community we are all a part of!

Tickets and sponsorship packages are available at a variety of levels. All tickets include open bar during the event (21+)! Take advantage of early bird pricing and purchase your tickets at this link: http://miami.newleaderscouncil.org/cmaddennewleaderscouncilorg/2016_fellows_fundraiser

Orchestra Miami presents performances of a very special composition. Brundibár, an opera for children, premiered during World War II and became both a symbol of hope and resistance, as well as a Nazi propaganda tool. It was performed 55 times in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, and used by the Nazis to show how well the prisoners were being treated.

Mr. Rosenwinkel was trained at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and immediately hired by Gary Burton, who has a penchant for discovering the most important guitarists for more than 40 years. He has devoted thousands of hours refining a techniques and conception that a huge number of young guitarists now regard as definitive. Kurt played in several cutting-edge bands in addition to becoming a successful leader.

Added to his prowess as a player, he is a gifted composer and arranger and has surrounded himself with like-minded collaborators, especially pianist Aaron Parks.

Marina, orphaned daughter of a merchant captain, awaits the return of Jorge, the man who took her in after her father’s death. She is in love with him, but as he is older and her guardian, she has never dared tell him the truth
Another ship’s captain Alberto, Teresa’s father and a friend of Marina’s, tells the girls he is sailing away that evening. Marina asks him to give her a letter he had kept from her father, which she would like to have as a memento. Alberto gladly agrees, but their fond farewells are misinterpreted by Marina’s jealous suitor, the ships’ fitter Pascual, who considers himself virtually engaged to her Pascual tells her roughly that his clumsy ways stop him expressing his love for her. In exasperation she tells Pascual to ask her guardian for her hand – if Jorge agrees, then she will marry him. As Jorge returns, Pascual loses no time in telling Jorge that he intends to get married, and the older man heartily tells him that he has had the same thought, so why don’t they marry on the same day. Pascual names Marina, to Jorge’s shock and consternation. Marina is equally hurt that Jorge apparently wants to marry someone else.
Pascual intercepts a sailor bringing the letter from Alberto to Marina, and seeing it is a declaration of eternal love, he leaps to the obvious conclusion, denounces Marina bluntly, breaks off the engagement and rushes away cursing into the night.
As he leaves Jorge appears, and soon understands Pascual’s mistake and the innocent identity of the letter writer. When he hints he will be leaving tomorrow, Marina can no longer avoid telling him the identity of the man she really loves, and in a brief duet they admit their love for one another.

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music” 4/9/16

South Florida Jazz presents “Great Women in Music”
Saturday, 04/09/2016 – 08:00 pm – 11:00 pm

3100 Ray Ferrero Blvd,
Davie, Florida 33314

Cost: $40

On April 9 at 8 PM, South Florida Jazz presents “Celebrating Great Women in Music,” starring Lynne Arriale, Carla Cook, and Grace Kelly, at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center, 3100 Ray Ferrero Jr. Boulevard in Dania, FL. Tickets are $40 ($10 for students with ID) at southfloridajazz.org or (954) 462-0222.

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.

Pianist Lynne Arriale, vocalist Carla Cook and alto saxophonist/vocalist Grace Kelly have been moved and influenced by the strength and power of these legends. They 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. Joining them are bassist Evan Gregor and drummer Jordan Perlson.

These artists are highly innovative and original leaders. Lynne is an established star with worldwide status; she was the first prize winner of the 1993 International Great American Jazz Piano Competition, and soon launched her touring and recording career. “Lynne Arriale’s music lies at the synaptic intersection where brain meets heart, where body meets soul. As a result, there’s a directness, a purity, an unalloyed honesty that makes us listen and therefore “see” anew. She is one of jazzdom’s most intensely unique voices.” – JazzTimes

Carla Cook, from “Motown,” Detroit, is daring. She is a jazz singer/songwriter who sings standards beautifully — but she doesn’t stop there. Cook is willing to put a jazz spin on songs not written by traditional jazz composers. Songs that, until you hear her sing them, you’d never imagine could be interpreted as jazz. That willingness to simply sing what she loves is what gives Cook her signature style. “Carla Cook…a mad-loose straight ahead jazz diva with a gospel soul, big band heart, classical cool and improvisational hot …. and what a beautiful voice … a warm amber-hued contralto.” – JazzTimes

Bostonian Grace Kelly is a vivacious saxophone prodigy and composer with incredible polish for her tender age (23). She’s not looking to be like anyone else. “Got my own thing,” she sings over an urban, trance-like groove. Although the singer and saxophone player has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike as a jazz musician, her work shows an artist interested only in playing what she loves, labels be damned. “Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling. She has a great amount of natural ability and the ability to adapt… the hallmark of a first-class jazz musician.” – Wynton Marsalis

Join Lynne, Carla and Grace for an evening of joyful interaction and musical spontaneity featuring modern jazz classics, reinvented popular favorites, and memorable original compositions.

Funding for South Florida JAZZ is provided in part by a grant from the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Division

The City of Miami Beach presents Karina Iglesias & the Nu-Thang
featuring:
Brian Robertson, piano
James McCoy, bass
Brian Lange, drums

Finalist on NBC’s “The Voice,” Karina Iglesias brings her powerful vocals to Arts Garage Sept. 26. She will be accompanied by her “Nu-Thang,” featuring Brian Robertson, piano, James McCoy, bass, and Brian Lange, drums. Her emotionally charged and deeply personal lyrics revealed a depth of character and vulnerability that can only be conveyed when a singer truly connects with their song. Karina’s classically-trained voice unveils the nuances of her lyrics and adds layers of meaning and emotion that are more commonly found in operatic vocal performances. With her highly-focused artistic vision, rich cultural background and proclivity for harnessing a wide range of production techniques, Karina Iglesias has showcased her strong elements of innovation and heralds a much-needed return to the authenticity of pure soul music.

“I felt like for the first time on the show, that possibly…, the light fixtures were just gonna explode, because [she is] a great singer and [she] really deserves to be here, so congratulations.”
(Adam Levine)

About Jump N Funk
Jump N Funk, America’s original Afrobeat party, was born of the collective vision and efforts of Rich Medina, Debbie Sealy and Trevor Schoonmaker. The idea was to raise awareness around the King of Afrobeat, at a time when many were unaware of Fela Kuti, his music and his legacy. Rich Medina combined forces with his studio production partner Mark Hines (The Marksmen) to expand the JNF experience with live video and instrumentalist performance elements. It has become an amazing presentatino of sight and sound unique to JNF.
Medina has cemeted his reputation as an elite DJ taking audiences on a sonic journey through Hip Hop, House, Soul, Afrobeat, Funk, Breaks, Rare Grooves and Dance Classics.
JNF has grown from an intimate afterwork gathering, to an event avidly attended by hundreds in venues around the glove, including Italy, London, Paris, Tokyo and more.

Jazz at MOCA presents soul legend Timmy Thomas and the Overtown Soul Review, with special guest vocalist Cina Jones, in a FREE performance March 26 from 8 to 9:15 PM at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 770 NE 125th St., North Miami.

Lightning Has Struck Twice. Soul Legend Timmy Thomas, who serenaded the world in 1973 with his million-selling smash “Why Can’t We Live Together,” has conquered the world again. Thanks to Drake’s beyond-obvious sample of “Why Can’t We Live Together” in his monster worldwide hit “Hotline Bling,” the world is dancing yet again to Timmy Thomas’ groove. 2016 will find Timmy Thomas releasing a string of singles on Overtown Records and one on Saustex Media, prior to his comeback album. His collaborators range from the late Steve Jobs to Timmy’s old hitmaking crew at TK records. They were recorded in the manner Soul Music deserves: Living and Breathing on analog tape – so it may be released on vinyl. Timmy Thomas famously sang “People Are Changing” on his first LP. The people may have changed, but their love of his soulful groove remains the same.

“Timmy’s song [’Why Can’t We Live Together’] resonates now more than ever-ever,” says NPR. For more information visit mocanomi.org or call 305-332-2623. Music program is curated by KCC Productions.

Tickets are $40 ($10 students with I.D.) and can be purchased from Ticketmaster either online at southfloridajazz.org or by calling 954-462-0222.

Joey DeFrancesco is not only a masterful jazz organist, but also an accomplished trumpeter, and vocalist. He has released more than 30 albums as a leader and also has played or recorded with jazz icons Miles Davis and Jimmy Smith, as well as David Sanborn, Arturo Sandoval, Benny Golson, James Moody, Elvin Jones, John McLaughlin, George Benson, Ray Charles and even Bette Midler.

In addition to his three Grammy nominations, DeFrancesco is a 10-time winner of the Down Beat Critics Poll and has won the Down Beat Readers Poll every year since 2005, plus a number of JazzTimes and Jazz Journalist Association awards. He was an inaugural member of the Hammond Hall of Fame in 2014.

DeFranceso’s emergence in the 1980s marked the renaissance for the B3 organ, which had been largely replaced by more portable keyboard synthesizers.  Joey reignited the flame with the vintage sound of his Hammond, and in so doing, also revived the careers of many other proponents of the “big dawg” of keyboard instruments. Joey, however, is the universally acknowledged “King of the Jazz Organ.”

The High-Octane Salsa band to present songs from their new album “Gasolina de Avion”
Miami, Feb. 19, 2016 – Miami Dade College’s (MDC) MDC Live Arts present the widely popular Cuban timba band, Timbalive, at 8 p.m., on Friday, Mar. 18 at the Koubek Center, offering a souped-up form of salsa, full of infectious rhythms, playful hooks, and plenty of swagger. The show culminates MDC Live Arts’ new Little Havana Social Club dance party/concert series, featuring flavorful live bands, pre-concert dance lessons, specialty food, and cocktail vendors.

The high-octane, 10-member group Timbalive is based in Miami, but enjoys great success among the salsa circuit across Europe, South America, Cuba, and the U.S. The group just released a new album this month–their fourth– “Gasolina de Avion” (Jet Fuel), which features songs by Grammy-winning singer/composer Descemer Bueno, Maykel Fonts, and others. The title refers to the sheer power behind this production.

“We cannot wait to debut these songs for the community at this event in the heart of Little Havana,” said Musical Director Leo García.

The concert will be preceded by a salsa dance lesson, and followed by a DJ dance party on an outdoor dance floor, under the stars.

“We are so lucky to have extremely talented artists, like Timbalive, in our community and are thrilled to welcome them to the Little Havana Social Club stage!,” said MDC Live Arts Executive Director, Kathryn Garcia.

The Little Havana Social Club, in it’s very special home at the Koubek Center, is all about community and mingling–from the dance floor to the domino tables to the food trucks. Earlier this season, the series presented Peru’s own Cumbia All Stars as well as the “Duke of Bachata”, Joan Soriano, straight from the Dominican Republic.

ABOUT TIMBALIVE
Timbalive was created in 2008, founded by Musical Director and Timbales player, Leo García. Its members all come from the top music schools in Cuba, but are now all based in Miami. The group released their first album “De Miami a la Habana”, a collection of their own songs and covers of beloved composers, in 2009. They quickly gained international attention, appearing the Top 10 in more than 20 countries, and winning “Álbum Revelación del Año 2009” in France and Best Timba album in Peru. Two more albums followed: “La Timba Pa to El Mundo,” (2011), nominated for a Cubadicoso award in the popular music category, and Con la Música Cubana No” (2013), securing their position as one of the most popular timba groups in the Latin circuit. The group has toured extensively throughout Europe, Mexico, Canada, South America and the US. Timbalive credits its success to hard work, perseverance, and their signature sound– an inimitable mix of Caribbean rhythms and Cuban popular music, with the lyrics and arrangements designed with the dancer in mind. They have just released a new album, “Gasolina de Avion,” in January 2016.
