Art of Jazz | Catherine Russell

Dear Art of Jazz fans:

It breaks our heart but we are sorry to report that this Friday’s performance at Kleinhans will have to be postponed again. The featured artist has tested positive for COVID and will not be able to perform at that time.

We thank you for your patience and ask that you bear with us.  The rescheduled date is SUNDAY, JULY 10 at 7:00 pm. Your current tickets are valid for the rescheduled performance, there is no further action required on your part.

Again, the concert this Friday, May 13 is now postponed but we look forward to seeing you in a couple of months.  Please contact the box office at 716-885-5000 if you have questions.

Thank you

“One of the outstanding singers of our time” (Wall Street Journal), Grammy-winning vocalist Catherine Russell is the rarest of entities – a genuine jazz and blues vocalist who puts her joyful stamp on the great African American songbook from the Swing Era and beyond. The daughter of Luis Russell, pianist and music director for the immortal Louis Armstrong, Catherine has headlined around the world, been awarded the prestigious Prix Du Jazz Vocal by the French Jazz Academy and toured with Steely Dan and Paul Simon. Drawing comparisons to Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, and Dinah Washington, Russell is “a wonderfully charismatic performer with a show-stopping voice” (Washington Post).
