 “Indie-voiced Kristina Koller mixes jazz and bohemia…Gotta see her!” - JazzWeekly
Vocalist, composer and arranger Kristina Koller will present music from her debut album ‘Perception’. As one of the most applauded rising stars in jazz, Koller has developed quickly into a highly individual vocalist, melding jazz, funk, R&B and alt-rock sounds into her songs. Kristina arranges tunes in unique ways, knowing that adding to the legacy of jazz is much more important than recreating the performances of others. The New York native culled her musical chops in the NYC jazz scene, performing at venerable jazz haunts such as Smalls, Smoke, Minton’s, Mezzrow as well as The Apollo Theater. Kristina was a featured Discovery Artist at the 2017 Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival and her quintet were semi-finalists in the 2017 DCJazzPrix competition.
Koller is a very original contemporary jazz vocalist, one that anyone interested in jazz, or for that matter progressive music, needs to hear.

 Blasphemy! "The Ed Palermo Big Band is more popular than The Beatles." Band leader, Ed Palermo, refuses to apologize for something so blatantly obvious.
"...one of the greatest musicians and arrangers in the world." -- Christian McBride
"I can’t remember the last time that a concert left me so breathless. The entire evening was a stunning balance of musical precision, passion and power." Greg Haymes/Nippertown
Crazy times call for outrageous music, and few jazz ensembles are better prepared to meet the surreality of this reality-TV-era than the antic and epically creative Ed Palermo Big Band.
Nothing demonstrates the ensemble’s ongoing vitality better than the stellar cast of players, with many longtime collaborators. Many of these top-shelf musicians have been in the band for more than a decade, and they bring wide ranging experience, expert musicianship and emotional intensity to Palermo’s music.

Get Your Wings also recreates the sounds of Tyler and Perry's biggest hits from the past three decades, too. If you've got an Aerosmith jones, this is the band to see! "Get Your Wings is the one and only Aero tribute band to experience." -More Sugar Magazine

with David Liebman's Expansions, Bobby Avey, Matt Vashlishan, Alex Ritz, Tony Marino | The Falcon
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Expansions presents a suite based on the theme of the Earth as it is manifested in our lives-Volcano-Avalanche-Mount Everest-Concrete Jungle.... a voyage into the elements of color and ambiance.
The Dave Liebman Group will feature music written and played by John Coltrane - celebrating the 90th year of his birth and 50th since his passing - covering the three periods of his short, yet extraordinary, career beginning with his tenure as a sideman in the Miles Davis Group; through the repertoire of the Classic Quartet (Tyner, Jones and Garrison); concluding with pieces from the late “free” jazz period.
Coltrane's body of work represents a pinnacle of achievement in the 20th century exerting an influence that goes beyond jazz both spiritually and musically. For Liebman, seeing Coltrane live on many occasions in NYC inspired him to pursue this music.

If you like a great folk song I bet you'll love the new record from Chuck Williams called "Stories I've Told." Songs on the record include collaborations with the late great Michael Troy and the highly respected songwriter and guitarist Brooks Williams. It's an album with a strong folk ethic and messages that are conveyed in an artful way with refined craft.
Williams has been involved in many projects since the release of“Lightning in a Bottle” in 2010. His involvement in guiding the Rhode Island Songwriters Association, the release of the single “I Want My Country Back”in 2012, the establishment of the Michael Troy Memorial Music Foundation in 2016. All along the way the writers cap was on and Chuck has crafted 10 original songs and arranged a cover of the worlds saddest song, 'Seeds and Stems Again Blues' written by Commander Cody (George Frayne) and Billy C. Farley.
The album debuted on the Folk DJ Top Albums Chart in January! |
