The City of Miami Beach Arts in the Parks and KCC Productions present International Jazz Day 2015
(Published: April 28, 2015)
Once
again, Miami Beach is proud to participate in the world-wide
celebration of International Jazz Day, April 30. There will be a free
concert with three shows from 6 to 10 PM in Collins Park.
Opening the program will be the New World School for the Arts Big Band
Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Jim Gasior, with vocalist LeNard
Rutledge. This award-winning band is behind an award-winning baritone
(Best Jazz Musician, Miami New Times) whose style has been called
captivating, soul-stirring, earthy, and funky, often compared to that of
the great Lou
Rawls.
They will be followed by The World Music 5, comprising Jose and Nomar
Negroni (piano and drums), Josh Allen (bass), Dr Ed Calle (sax), and
Federico Britos (jazz violin.) An outstanding group, with multi-Grammy
winning violinist Federico Britos and two-time Latin-Grammy nominated
saxophonist Dr. Ed Calle joining Miami favorite Negroni's Trio, is
performing and recording some of the finest jazz/world music around.
They have been touring continuously throughout South Florida and the
globe including Puerto Rico, Mexico, Santo Domingo, and NYC. Currently
completing work on their first record, "America," the World Music 5
continues touring and sharing their musical passion, experience, and
expertise with students wherever they visit.
Closing will be the outstanding New York vocalist Vivian Sessoms.
Vivacious, vibrant, and vigorous are adjectives used to describe her
voice and performance. Vivian has worked with Michael Jackson, Roberta
Flack, Christina Aguilera, Cher, Joe
Cocker, P!nk, Patti Labelle, Patti Austin, Natalie Cole and Chaka Khan,
providing background vocals on dozens of CD's and lead vocals on
numerous tracks in the US and Japan. Already the star of one CD, "Sunny
One Day," she is now producing herfirst jazz CD, "Heart." Supporting her
tonight is a stellar trio of Silvano Monasterios (Best Jazz Musician,
Miami New Times) on piano, Eric England on bass, and Rodolfo Zuniga on
drums.
