SUMMARY:Isaiah Collier: Collier Plays Coltrane at Dakota Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:One of today’s most exciting saxophonists celebrates John Coltrane’s centennial! \nIsaiah Collier is a musical virtuoso in the truest sense of the phrase. He began playing saxophone at age eleven\, and his intuitive proficiency earned him attention early on. Ever since\, his band Isaiah Collier and The Chosen Few has been turning ears. \nIn 2025 he was featured on NPR’s “Jazz Night in America”\, and graced the cover of Downbeat Magazine. Additionally\, Chicago Tribune named him 2024’s Jazz Artist of the Year. New York Times selected his album The Almighty as one of the Top Ten Jazz Recordings of 2024. Furthermore\, The New York Times 2024 Fall Arts Preview featured him. Downbeat selected him as one of twenty-five for the future in 2024’s Ninetieth Anniversary issue. Also\, he won the Rising Star Award in Downbeat Magazine’s critics poll for tenor saxophone (2023)\, and soprano saxophone (2024). Then\, he was named a Steve Jobs Fellow. \nThere’s a regal\, elegant manner to Isaiah’s stage presence: he’s over 6 feet tall\, thin\, deep brown\, with high cheekbones. When not playing\, he is patiently waiting. Not contemplating his next move\, but listening to the musicians who accompany him\, listening to their stories. Here\, he explains that he’s never really hearing himself\, he’s hearing others play: some people have fire\, others have air. \nIsaiah Coller’s sound is a dynamic flurry of metaphors\, yet he can hold back when necessary. Thus\, he plays his influences\, which he describes as a “sonic time machine; you can’t really put a time or destination on it.” As far as he where he plans to take his music\, Collier says\, “I reach backwards\, and forwards simultaneously when creating art and what is ahead of me is the past.”

SUMMARY:Puuluup with Ponyfolk at Hopkins Center for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:“Puuluup are true originals with a cult following. They are doing something pretty unusual\, pushing obscure folk material towards the mainstream with a whole lot of panache.”  – SONGLINES  \nPuuluup was formed in 2014 by two talharpa enthusiasts Ramo Teder and Marko Veisson. Ramo Teder is a multi-instrumentalist and has been known for his long solo project Pastacas. He is also a looping pioneer in Estonia and has mastered these skills for twenty years already. Marko Veisson has a background in anthropology and his fieldwork in Northern Ghana as well as his love for West-African music have influenced Puuluup’s style. \nThey play their own compositions on talharpas – traditional bowed lyres\, popular in Northern Europe since the early Middle Ages and played on Western Estonian islands until the beginning of 20th century. Puuluup directs the vibrations of the talharpas’ horsehair strings through effect blocks and looper\, using alternative bowing and drumming techniques and sounds. The mellow sighs of the talharpa are paired with electronically amplified echoes\, knocks\, creaks and crackles\, while still maintaining the instrument’s natural sound. \nPonyfolk is the collaborative project of multi-instrumentalists Clifton Nesseth and Paul Sauey. Weaving together interests in folk\, rock\, jazz and orchestral music\, the duo is known for intricate arrangements\, vocal harmonies and layers of strings and keyboards. Formed as a duo in 2014\, Ponyfolk performs in a variety of configurations\, deftly transitioning between a traditional Nordic group and a folk-rock band depending on the occasion. In 2025\, Ponyfolk released their debut traditional album “the woods have shown us”\, which held the #2 spot on the Folk DJ-L chart in July. In early 2026\, they will be releasing their sophomore record.

SUMMARY:Al Di Meola at Dakota Jazz Club Night 2
DESCRIPTION:Al Di Meola is one of the top guitarists of our time. Here\, he has enjoyed a celebrated career that has spanned more than four decades. His fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation\, provocative lyrical melodies\, and sophisticated harmony are at the heart of his music. Among his myriad critical accolades are multiple Grammys and Grammy nominations. Additionally\, twelve awards from polls conducted by Guitar Player magazine\, which inducted Di Meola into its Gallery of Greats. \nA bona fide guitar hero and prolific composer\, Di Meola has created more than thirty albums as a leader. Furthermore\, he has collaborated on about a dozen others. These include fusion supergroup Return to Forever (with Chick Corea\, Stanley Clarke\, and Lenny White). Also\, the celebrated acoustic Guitar Trio (featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucía). Further\, the Rite of Strings trio (with Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty).

However\, the depth of Di Meola’s writing\, along with the soulfulness and inherent lyricism of his expressive playing\, have won him a worldwide fanbase beyond the guitar aficionado set.

SUMMARY:Prudence Johnson & the Halcyon Jazz Quartet at Crooners
DESCRIPTION:Jazz with an Understated Vibe\nVersatility can be rewarding but some music just feels like home.

With an “off the beaten path” approach to repertoire and featuring the amazing Dave Hagedorn on vibes\, and top-shelf rhythm section Joe Pulice and Kevin Clements\, Halcyon takes the “less is more” approach and reaches for the emotional and musical depths of a song with a controlled intensity. \nPrudence Johnson: Voice \nDave Hagedorn: Vibraphone \nJoe Pulice: Drums \nGary Raynor: Acoustic Bass \nPrudence Johnson is well known to Crooners audiences\, appearing with Lush Country\, with Rio Nido\, in duos with Dan Chouinard\, Tim Sparks or Dean Magraw\, in shows featuring the music of Leonard Bernstein and Randy Newman\, singing in French and Italian\, or with Latin-jazz sensation Yazmin. But her reputation as a jazz singer lives on\, and\, in a new venture\, she joins forces with three of the region’s finest instrumentalists to form the Halcyon Jazz Quartet.

SUMMARY:BluLuna (Dean Magraw\, Rick Carlson\, Steve Pikal\, Jay Epstein)
DESCRIPTION:BluLuna was formed by four veteran musicians out of their love for myriad genres of the jazz idiom without restraining themselves to one specific branch of the music. By focusing on familiar melodic compositions\, this bias-free approach has allowed them to concentrate on playing very fresh and sparkling ideas honoring the wide range of America’s 1st original sonic art. The result is a startlingly warm delivery of a strong yet hyper-sensitive mélange of enchanting moments.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Nomfusi at the Cedar Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Described as a cross between Tina Turner and Miriam Makeba\, Nomfusi is a South African singer poised for greatness. \nThe soul of Mama Afrika meets the fire of Motown and Soul… in a pint-sized packet of dynamite. After a mere six years in the industry\, and with over twenty international tours under her belt\, Nomfusi has become one of South Africa’s most sought-after performers. Indeed\, there is nothing small about the tiny songstress with the gigantic voice and tons of charm. With sheer will and determination\, she has risen from the squalor of South African squatter camps to some of the major stages of the world. Likened by critics to a young Miriam Makeba with a twist of Tina Turner\, the multiple SAMA and Metro FM Award nominee embraces both her African heritage and the sounds of Soul and Motown she grew up with. Like a purifying wild fire that cuts through the bone\, her cathartic performances have been praised across the globe. \nNomfusi has given riveting performances across Europe and Canada at prestigious festivals such as WOMAD in England\, performing with Angelique Kidjo at the Afrikadey Festival in Canada\, and to an audience of more than 8000 at FMM Sines in Portugal\, and Lugano Jazz Festival. Recently she opened for superstar Lionel Richie at Stimmen Festival in Loerrach\, Germany. Nomfusi was chosen to portray the character of Miriam Makeba in “Long Walk To Freedom\,” the film about the life of Nelson Mandela\, Released in early 2014\, it is\, according to the Hollywood Reporter “the largest South African production ever mounted”.

SUMMARY:Yasmin Williams at the Cedar Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:Yasmin Williams is one of the most innovative voices in guitar playing today\, crafting rich instrumental compositions that sway from traditional folk to atmospheric soundscapes\, experimenting with rich tapestries of sound. Her performance at The Cedar this Spring is sure to be a highlight of our 2026 calendar. \nYasmin Williams is an innovative guitarist and composer known for her unique compositional approach and expansive instrumental style. Her latest album Acadia\, released on Nonesuch Records\, showcases her evolution from solo performer to collaborative artist\, featuring partnerships with notable musicians like Aoife O’Donovan and Immanuel Wilkins. \nWilliams’ distinctive creative process involves “ruminating” on single notes until compositions naturally emerge. Beyond traditional fingerpicked guitar\, she demonstrates mastery of multiple instruments including kora\, harp guitar\, banjo\, and electric guitar.
