The Robin Henkel Band with Horns performs their own unique blend of jazz, blues, funk and swing. Firmly grounded in artistic expression Robin describes it this way “Our performances honor the rich music traditions of blues, jazz, swing and funk. The usual line-up is trumpet with tenor and baritone saxophones, guitar, bass and drums. Sometimes clarinet and congas find their way into the mix. We love playing music that is modern as well as digging into the styles of great artists from the past such as Duke Ellington and Slim Gaillard.”
Award-winning New York City jazz pianist/accordionist Ben Rosenblum celebrates the release of his most recent album, “A Thousand Pebbles”, together with his sextet, the Nebula Project. The internationally-touring multi-instrumentalist has been described as an “impressive talent” (All About Jazz), who “caresses [the music] with the reverence it merits” (Downbeat Magazine). Drawing from an eclectic repertoire which includes selections from the jazz and popular music traditions, as well as global music influences from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland and the Caribbean, Rosenblum combines his modern, melodic sensibility with his broad knowledge of a variety of musical lineages from the past one hundred years.
Peter and the group explore music that originates from many different genres including jazz, Brazilian, pop, and the blues. Sonic travels start from Peter’s calypso infused “Hanalei Town,” touching down with Hoagy Carmichael’s “Skylark,” a trip to Liverpool with The Beatles, and landing gently with Carole King’s “So Far Away.” The band features Peter on guitar along with the inventive piano of Danny Green and Mack Leighton on acoustic bass. It’ll be a great afternoon of music!
