Trumpet sensation Maurice MOBETTA Brown orbits simultaneously through three worlds: contemporary jazz, blues-rock and cutting-edge hip hop. He's a mastermind as a trumpeter, composer, arranger, and producer. When Maurice picks up his horn, his soulful melodies soar into a rarefied space that uniquely marries be-bop to hip-hop and rock, producing his own distinctive sound. The Chicago area native won the national Miles Davis Trumpet Competition as a teenager, followed by a move to Louisiana to study under legendary clarinetist Alvin Batiste. His critically acclaimed debut, "HIP TO BOP", recorded in New Orleans, foreshadowed Brown's unique talent for creating fresh bop-inflected jazz with an urban pulse. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina's devastation forced Maurice to relocate, taking his horn to New York where he established himself by recording with Aretha Franklin, Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, Macy Gray, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Lettuce and The Roots.

Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club presents an unforgettable celebration of blues royalty, featuring multiple vocalists honoring the legendary Three Kings of the Blues. You'll hear hits and carefully chosen deep cuts from the catalogs of B.B., Albert, and Freddie, performed with soul, passion, and conviction. Featured performers include blues legend Toni Lynn Washington, 2x-Blues Music Award-nominated guitarist Peter Parcek (Pinetop Perkins), singer-songwriter Danielle Miraglia, and Blues Music Awards nominee Diane Blue (Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters). Toni Lynn Washington has received multiple nominations for Soul-Blues Performer and Album of the Year. Buddy Guy on Parcek: "You're as bad as Eric Clapton & I know Eric Clapton." Ronnie Earl on Diane Blue: "She's got so much soul, she blows me away." The Boston Globe raves, "Miraglia has a voice that can go from a raspy come-hither purr to an Etta James-esque powerhouse belt."

A rare and intimate evening of acoustic music featuring Tim O'Brien, Sam Grisman, and Victor Furtado. This special trio performance brings together three musicians whose shared love of song, storytelling, and instrumental mastery continues the timeless lineage of American acoustic music. The legendary Tim O'Brien is one of the most beloved and influential singers, songwriters, and instrumentalists in American acoustic music and the impact that his songs and musicianship have had on our tribe of acousticians is immeasurable. When I was a Junior in high school if you would have asked me what my dream job would be, without a doubt I would have answered "to be in the Tim O'Brien Band." It is a great honor to get to play some of my favorite Tim tunes with the man himself, and to get to do it in a trio setting with the great Victor Furtado, one of my favorite pickin' pals who also grew up on Tim's music, is going to make for a special experience for everyone on stage and in the audience!
