in the swing of things

Starting the night with 3-time GRAMMY-winning Brannen Temple on drums and the renowned musical veteran Red Young on Hammond B-3 organ, prepare to realize just how much music two people can make. Coming together as The Brannen & Red Show, this truly dynamic duo will fill the air with sounds, rhythms, and artistry emitted straight from the soul.  

Always bringing the heat from the back of the band, you would never guess the stages that have hosted and albums that have included the legendary jazz bassist Lynn Seaton. Back again at Sammons Jazz for another go around in his decades-long career, The Lynn Seaton Quartet features Fredrick Sanders on piano, Gerhard Kraus on guitar, and Andrew Griffith on drums.

This concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Meadows Hall; doors open at 7 p.m.

Playing It Cool

With a voice as rich and craft as deep as the color of mahogany itself, it is clear why that name fits for Mahogany TheArtist. Serving up sounds as cool as a December day, this passionate singer, multi-instrumentalist, writer, producer, and founder of Jazz BeCuzz Arts is joined by Jay Mck on bass, Todd Parsnow on guitar, Jaelun Washington on drums, and M Jelani on sax.   

While you’ve heard him many other times on the bandstand, Myles Tate & The Soul Revival grace the Sammons Jazz stage with their debut performance. Pianist Myles Tate III brings Kazu Tanaka on trumpet, Andrew Garfias on tenor saxophone, Terence Hobdy on drums, Nick Woodhouse on bass, and LaSheena on vocals in on a soul-reviving mission that ends the concert season with a bang.

This concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Meadows Hall; doors open at 7 p.m.
