Hammer Theatre Center presents "Black Cab Jazz - Kendrick Scott"

Description

Downtown San Jose will bustle with the sounds of modern jazz in a brand new intimate concert series Black Cab Jazz, to be presented from autumn 2019 through winter 2020. The series is named after presenter Hammer Theatre Center’s intimate black box theatre space, where the concerts will be held in the spirit of classic intimate cabaret shows. Audiences will see today’s hottest jazz artists with 4-top seating amongst a maximum capacity of 120 audience members. Curated by Internationally renowned arts organization San Jose Jazz in partnership with the Hammer Theatre Center, this riveting set of up-close performances will feature Blue Note Records drummer Kendrick Scott (Oct. 20), sizzling vocalist Quiana Lynell (Nov. 8), one of New York’s finest drummers Matt Wilson and his “Honey & Salt” Quintet (Feb. 21), and award-winning saxophonist Melissa Aldana Trio (Mar. 20).

Drummer and composer Kendrick Scott kicked off his Blue Note contract four years ago with "We Are the Drum." Expertly produced by Derrick Hodge, Scott’s creative confidant and musical brother, and featuring a stunning guest performance by vocalist Lizz Wright, it earned rave reviews and reiterated how Oracle, Scott’s long-running working group, is one of the most thoughtfully powerful jazz bands of its generation.
