On Tuesday night, CenterStage will be bustling with activity that should be of interest to jazz-minded folk like you and I.
In the Carpenter Theatre, Modlin Center for the Arts presents the Monterey Jazz Festival on Tour. After a huge and very successful tour in 2007 that stopped at Richmond’s Landmark Theater, the MJF is coming back. The band features the nine-time Grammy-nominated and NEA Jazz Master Kenny Barron on piano, Grammy-nominated violinist Regina Carter, Grammy-winning guitarist Russell Malone, Grammy-winning vocalist Kurt Elling, bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa, and Grammy-nominated drummer Johnathan Blake.

The Jazz Composers Alliance (the same people behind Muse Creative Workspace in Shockoe Bottom) is presenting Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews & Orleans Avenue for their “JAZZ IS NOW!”: Pass the Torch Concert. The concert will take place in the Gottwald Playhouse, the blackbox theater that normally hosts plays and dramatic performances. Proceeds will benefit the Jazz Mentor’s Project, and Andrews will be giving a master class to the kids of the Richmond Youth Jazz Guild while here. You can learn a lot about him through his video EPK, where he labels his band “Super funk rock” and talks about growing up playing his horn in New Orleans’ Treme neighborhood. View event details
