Exploring the Timeless Compositions of Tadd Dameron in a Captivating New Light
Join us for a unique Art of Jazz Series musical experience as the timeless compositions of jazz legend Tadd Dameron are explored in a fresh and captivating way. The extraordinary quintet and acclaimed program- Gary Smulyan: Tadd’s All, Folks featuring Anaïs Reno – will breathe new life into Dameron’s music, with a special focus on his often-overlooked vocal compositions.
While Dameron was primarily celebrated as a composer and arranger, this collection showcases the entrancing vocal performances of Anaïs Reno, bringing out the lyrical brilliance of his legacy. The songs feature captivating lyrics by Irving Reid, Bernie Hanighen, and Jack Reynolds, perfectly complementing Dameron’s modern musical language.
For the Art of Jazz Series concert at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum on Friday, November 10 at 7 p.m., an exceptional core combo will anchor the performance, with the renowned Gary Smulyan on baritone sax (perennial Downbeat Critic’s Poll winner for baritone sax), the exquisite piano stylings of the acclaimed Pete Malinverni, the solid bass foundation of international bassist Ugonna Okegwo, and the dynamic drumming of jazz star Matt Wilson. Rising Star jazz vocalist Anaïs Reno takes center stage to effortlessly deliver the emotional depth and nuance of each song.
