SUMMARY:Dosh & JT Bates at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Martin Dosh and JT Bates have been exploring rhythms in tandem since the turn of the century\, drawing from shared influences of all areas of jazz music\, pocket drumming\, and sampling/collage music. \n✧ \nGrowing up in a musical family gave JT Bates an early start into sound and rhythmic exploration. He set on the path to becoming a working musician while playing in his father’s big band as a teen. Over the years\, he remained steeped in the improvised music scene\, both as a performer and presenter. In 2015\, he produced and released his first solo album\, Open Relationships (Totally Gross National Product)\, and in 2021\, he released an album called Not Other Stuff. As a session drummer\, Bates has appeared on Grammy record of the year Folklore (Taylor Swift) and Swift’s follow-up album\, Evermore. He has also performed on the Grammy-nominated album s/t (Bonny Light Horseman) and critically acclaimed records by Bon Iver\, Big Red Machine\, Cassandra Jenkins\, The National\, Maya Hawke\, and Ed Sheeran. \nMartin Dosh has been making independent music out of his basement in Minneapolis—and around the world—for 20 years. He first found acclaim with his self-titled debut on Anticon in 2003. As he continued making Dosh records\, of which there are many\, he also played and recorded with Andrew Bird from 2005 to 2014. His live performances are often solo\, combining drums\, samplers\, synths\, and Rhodes. One of the earliest pioneers of live looping\, he continues to record and perform\, layering melodies and drones over acoustic and electronic beats. His latest LP\, Tomorrow 1972\, features Jeff Parker and Dan Bitney (Tortoise)\, Bird\, Mike Lewis (Bon Iver\, Happy Apple)\, Tobacco\, The Nunnery\, and many others. He has opened shows for the likes of Sylvan Esso\, Tune-Yards\, Black Moth Super Rainbow\, Makaya McCraven\, and Death Grips. His music is hard to pin down: a genreless\, percussive hybrid of electronic\, hip-hop\, and jazz.

SUMMARY:Chastity Brown at Dakota Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:Gospel and blues\, melodic sensibility\, and honest emotion… \nBased in Minnesota\, with roots in Tennessee\, Chastity Brown grew up surrounded by country and soul music. In the gospel church of her childhood\, she played saxophone and drums. Also\, she found her singing voice and a passion for music. NPR’s “Favorite Sessions\,” CMT\, American Songwriter\, the London Times and Paste Magazine have all featured her. \nLike so many artists who endured the uncertainty of the 2020 lockdown\, Chastity instinctively turned inward. At first\, she did this out of self-preservation\, and then the new songs kept coming and coming. Since finishing her last album\, 2017’s Silhouette Of Sirens\, she estimates she’s written nearly 100 new songs. Ten of these found their way onto her latest\, 2022’s Sing To The Walls. \nSing To The Walls is a sonically expansive album\, mining the roots of Americana\, folk\, and soul music. However\, Chastity delivers her stories in a style that feels remarkably timely\, modern\, and forward-thinking. Here\, these songs unfold with Chastity’s expressive voice and expansive melodies\, leading the listener through intertwining tendrils of atmospheric sounds. \nBetween writing sessions she’s been vibing to chilled-out\, forward thinking artists like Leon Bridges\, H.E.R.\, SZA\, and Daniel Caesar. Like them\, she expands beyond genre and her folk/roots history to encompass her appreciation of all Black American musical art forms. “I also want to poke at what the blues is\,” Chastity reflects. “It has a lot of stereotypes\, like it’s mostly only played by blue-eyed white guys now. But what about Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey? I feel so closely connected\, in a pure\, undeviating lineage\, to the heritage of being a Black\, queer blues woman.”

SUMMARY:Jovon Williams Quartet at Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Jovon Williams uses some of his favorite tunes as a template to express his feelings and visions as an artist: a culmination of hardship and gratitude forged from navigating youth. \nBand Members:\nJovon Williams – Saxophones\nTarek Abdelqader – Drums\nHans Fuerst – Piano/Keys\nEthan Yeshaya – Bass \n⊹ \nJovon Williams is an up-and-coming legend in the Minnesota music scene. Having collaborated with dozens of artists and bands—including LA Bucker & BiG HOMiE\, Room3\, and Marvelous—Williams is perhaps the most eclectic saxophonist in the Midwest. Greatly respected by audiences and peers alike\, Williams will cut through you with unbelievable speed\, or eat you alive with such a beautiful tone that your skin might fall from your bones. Be careful\, the stove is hot—tread lightly so you don’t get burned. Williams will feed you a delicious sonic meal that you have never before tasted and may never taste again. \nTarek Abdelqader is a Minneapolis-based composer and musician. He has produced and performed his own work under various monikers and with myriad collaborators\, and he regularly supports regional and international acts as a drummer. Abdelqader also works as an accompanist\, composer\, and sound designer for dance collectives based in the Twin Cities and New York\, including Body Watani\, Ananya Dance Theater\, Paula Mann\, and Limón Dance Company. \nHans Fuerst is a Twin Cities-based pianist with a passion for video game music. Drawing inspiration from jazz legends like McCoy Tyner and iconic composers like Gō Ichinose of Pokémon fame\, Hans blends the influences of Black American and Japanese music into his unique style. He writes\, performs\, improvises\, and records to share the magic of video game music\, celebrating its rich\, emotional language with a wider audience. \nEthan Yeshaya is a bassist typically known for supporting R&B and gospel artists\, but there has been some jazz brewing in him! Yeshaya plays with LA Buckner & BiG HOMiE (their first album was #1 on Apple Music Jazz charts; about to record their third album)\, Thomas Abban\, and many other artists. He lives in Minneapolis with his wife\, Bridget\, and their dogs Penny and Buddha.

SUMMARY:Acoustic Guitar Trailblazer- Billy McLaughlin & special guest Nathan Wilson at Crooners Supper Club
DESCRIPTION:Emmy Award winner and acoustic guitar vanguard. If you don’t know Billy’s music\, or what he’s been through to keep making it\, this show is a must-see. Acoustic guitar that defies gravity. New solo compositions and exceptionally funny improv dialogue with violin/mandolin maestro Nathan Wilson. \nBilly McLaughlin: Acoustic Guitar \nNathan Wilson: Mandolin and Violin \nBilly McLaughlin is recognized internationally as a world-class guitarist\, composer and inspirational performer who has appeared on Billboard’s TopTen Chart. Previously signed to Virgin Records’ Narada label\, McLaughlin has 14 CD releases\, 3 National Campus Entertainer of the Year Awards*\, 5 Minnesota Music Awards and his decades of national concert touring earned him the Hall of Fame Achievement Award*. \nBut in 1999 McLaughlin vanished from sight as his career crumbled due to a little-known neuro-muscular disorder called Focal Dystonia. After suffering several years without a cure\, he embarked on an unlikely attempt to regain his career by re-learning his instrument left-handed. His remarkable comeback is captured in the documentary film Changing Keys (airing on PBS 2010) and a concert film called Coming Back Alive featuring McLaughlin with string orchestra and a reunion of his longtime rock band. \nNow serving as Ambassador for Awareness for the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation\, McLaughlin is the winner of the 2010 Public Leadership in Neurology Award** whose previous winners include Paul Allen\, Julie Andrews\, Leon Fleischer and Michael J. Fox. \nMcLaughlin has resumed an international schedule of concert appearances and keynote speaking. He resides in his home state of Minnesota with his two sons.

SUMMARY:Jarrod Lawson at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:It was in late 2022 that Jarrod Lawson had the biggest\, and most unexpected\, thrill of his music career. He had just received a glowing endorsement in print from Michelle Obama\, in an Entertainment Weekly interview. When asked who she was listening to\, after mentioning Beyonce\, added “There’s this young jazz\, blue-eyed soul kid Jarrod Lawson that I’m loving.” \nAt the time Jarrod was receiving major airplay in the U.S. and in Europe. Here\, this was largely due to his remake of the Isley Brothers Seventies classic “Footsteps In The Dark”. This followed his 2020 sophomore album Be the Change. That album made its mark immediately\, with entries at #1 on Amazon’s Jazz Albums chart and at #2 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. \nFor singer/songwriter/keyboardist Lawson\, the appreciation of his music in his native U.S. was particularly gratifying. His 2014 breakthrough had been primarily in Europe\, where in a whirlwind couple of years he played festival\, club and concert dates in fifteen countries. Additionally\, this included the North Sea Jazz Festival\, London Jazz Festival and the world-renowned Ronnie Scott’s Club. Furthermore\, he powered his way into the Dutch Top Forty Albums chart. \nHe has since performed around the world in Tokyo\, Beijing\, Melbourne and at Indonesia’s Java Jazz festival. Further\, in the U.S. he has performed at many of the leading jazz venues from New York to Seattle. \nThe album is a beautiful\, restrained\, dreamy mix of love songs\, irreverence and social commentary. Thus\, SoulTracks.com described the album as “a masterpiece”. Also\, they hailed it “an instant classic that would have fit just as comfortably in 1970 as it does in 2020”.

SUMMARY:Alfredo Rodriguez & Pedrito Martinez at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Painted in the broadest of strokes\, the stories of Alfredo Rodriguez and Pedrito Martinez may seem similar. Both started life in Havana\, discovered their gifts and passions for music and headed to the United States. There\, they melded the music of their homeland with a wide variety of influences\, each in their own deeply personal way. \nRodriguez was born into a musical family\, his father a popular singer and TV host. Martinez\, on the other hand\, honed his craft on the streets of Havana\, learning the deeply rooted percussion and vocal style of Afro-Cuban folkloric and religious music. \n“What makes this duo completely different is that I came from the folkloric side and Alfredo came from the classical side. You put those things together and you come out with an extraordinary and different sound.” – Pedrito Martinez \nPianist Alfredo Rodriguez’s sound embodies the collective sound of Miami\, blending Latin pop\, timba\, salsa\, bachata\, tango\, reggaeton\, and bolero. It’s a musical fusion that encompasses the diverse Latin community while celebrating individuality and fostering unity. It calls upon Rodriguez’s roots just as much as his newly learned experiences\, representing a new phase of life.  \nPedrito Martinez is a consummate master of Afro-Cuban folkloric music and the batá drum. Since settling in New York in 1998\, Pedrito has recorded or performed with Paul Simon\, Wynton Marsalis\, and Paquito D’Rivera. He has also worked with Bruce Springsteen\, Ruben Blades\, Eddie Palmieri\, Dave Matthews\, and Sting. Moreover\, he has contributed to over seventy-five albums. \nFurthermore\, he is also the world’s first-call rumbero—playing\, singing\, and dancing with dozens of Cuban rumba groups. Pedrito was a founding member of the highly successful Afro-Cuban/Afro-Beat band Yerba Buena.

SUMMARY:Hamilton de Holanda at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:Hamilton de Holanda is one of Brazil’s most celebrated musicians—a global ambassador\, virtuoso performer\, and groundbreaking improviser. Picking up the mandolin at the age of five\, he redefined the ten-string version of the instrument. Then\, he transformed it into a versatile voice that bridges the worlds of jazz\, choro\, and beyond. \nThe foundation of his music comes from a combination of family encouragement and formal training with a university degree in composition. Additionally\, the freedom of Brasília’s choro street jams\, where he grew up. \nHamilton is a multi-award-winning musician. He is a four-time Latin Grammy winner with seventeen nominations—including a Grammy nod for Best Latin Jazz Album. In Brazil\, he has achieved star status\, earning widespread acclaim from critics\, peers\, and audiences alike. \nFurthermore\, Hamilton’s influence continues to grow\, due to his unique approach to improvisation and electrifying stage presence. In 2024 alone\, he achieved 14 million streams across 180 countries and reached over 800\,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. \nIn addition to his career as a performer\, Hamilton was one of the founders of the world’s first Choro School. There\, this was established in Brasília in 1997. He also spearheaded a petition to Brazil’s National Congress to establish a National Day of Choro. Thus\, this helps secure the genre’s cultural legacy. \nHamilton’s career is defined by his ability to blend Brazilian traditions with global sounds. His collaborations include Wynton Marsalis\, Chick Corea\, Milton Nascimento\, Djavan\, Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Dave Matthews\, John Paul Jones\, and Hermeto Pascoal. \nHamilton’s music connects cultures\, celebrates diversity\, and pushes the boundaries of sound\, solidifying his place as a true innovator and cultural ambassador.
