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.
