Terence Blanchard, Matthew Whitaker and two-time Grammy-nominated young vocalist Samara Joy among 100-plus jazz artists descending on Tucson for 10-day festival.
Cathalena E. Burch More than 80 jazz musicians will converge on Tucson next week for the 2023 HSL Properties Tucson Jazz Festival.
That will be the setting for Grammy-nominated jazz newbie Samara Joy, the 23-year-old New Yorker who launched her career in 2019 with a first-place win in the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Her months-old Verve Records debut “Linger Awhile” snagged the 2023 Best Jazz Vocal Album Grammy nomination and she’s also up for Best New Artist, the only jazz singer among a slate of 10 nominees crisscrossing everything from techno and rap to R&B and world music.
Whitaker, who opened for Stevie Wonder at the Apollo Theater when he was 10, is bringing his dynamic quintet along for the Fox show, one of three Jazz Festival concerts at the historic downtown theater.Tall Tall Trees shines the spotlight on electronic banjo in a Jan. 20 show that pays equal homage to Earl Scruggs and Bela Fleck as it does to Pink Floyd and Cat Stevens, with some soul-searing experimentation to take you out of your comfort zone.
The Black Market Trust, a traditional pop and vocal jazz quintet, pulls from the Great American Songbook and infuses those great tunes with a little fire and pizzazz inspired by seminal French jazz guitarist Jean Reinhardt aka Django. Expect folks to make good use of the Hotel Plaza stage-front dance floor when the group plays Jan. 21.
