Azar Lawrence Quartet featuring John Beasley, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Jeff Littleton & Guest Vocalist, Windy Barnes |

DESCRIPTION
Azar Lawrence Quartet featuring John Beasley, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Jeff Littleton & Guest Vocalist, Windy Barnes
Saturday, March 22, 2014: Time: 9pm - 12:30am Cover: $10
Roscoe's SeaBird Jazz Lounge . 730 E. Broadway Ave . Long Beach, Ca
562.787.0899 . (Parking at Roscoe's House of Chicken 'N Waffles)
At an early age, Azar Lawrence left his mark on Jazz. Hired by drummer Elvin Jones when he was just19, the prodigious young saxophonist would be tapped soon after by McCoy Tyner to fill the large shoes of collaborator John Coltrane. Throughout the '70's, Lawrence recorded with Tyner, Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw.
Like his contemporaries Herbie Hancock and Charles Lloyd, Lawrence forayed into pop music, recording with Earth Wind & Fire, Frank Zappa and Marvin Gaye. Since the early 2000's, the consummate artist has returned full force to his post-Bob Jazz roots. Lawrence's distinctive sound embodies a deep spirituality, which can be heard on Tyner's "Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit", and his own numerous recordings on Prestige.
His current Oeuvre doesn't miss a beat, with frequent New York and Los Angeles shows that sparkle with virtuosity, and vivid ideas and textures. To the discerning listener, Lawrence's depth can only be attributed to one who has 'been there'. And 'there' he most definitely was.
Grammy nominated Beasley, the one-time keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice. LA Times
Marvin Smitty Smith has performed with Sonny Rollins, Hank Jones, Frank Foster, Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Slide Hampton, Milt Jackson, et. al. And for many years he was a member of the Tonight Show Band, and hes on over 45 albums.
Jeff Littleton has played with Nancy Wilson, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Hank Crawford, Pharoah Sanders, Charles Lloyd, Charles Mcpherson, James Newton, Harold Land, Tom Harrell, Billy Higgins and Bobby Hutchinson. He released The Littleton Brothers | Collage with Bobby Watson.
Windy Barnes has toured extensively with Stevie Wonder, Julio Iglesias and Michael Bolton as a featured performer and collaborator."Windy Sings Like Heaven"

Diana Krall: Glad Rag Doll Tour |
|
DESCRIPTION
Grammy Award-winning, multiple-platinum album jazz artist Diana Krall returns to the Center with selections from her latest album, Glad Rag Doll, which features modern renditions of vintage songs from the 1920s and 1930s, complete with Kralls signature sultry sound. Glad Rag Doll is a very personal album for Krall, who fondly remembers her childhood home filled with her fathers 78 rpm records and old sheet music. But she offers a change of pace for the Classic American Songbook; its filled with mischief, humor and a renewed sense of tenderness and intimacy. Glad Rag Doll is an exhilarating exploration of new sounds, new instrumentation and new musicians.
