Hammer Theatre Center presents "Black Cab Jazz - Quiana Lynell"

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).

The 2017 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition winner, Quiana Lynell infuses her classical training with her gospel upbringing and approaches jazz as a storyteller. Her mesmerizing performances can only come about because Lynell believes every word that journeys from her soul. Lynell is quickly becoming recognized as one of the voices to listen for as she creates an environment where love is paramount, emphasizing the importance of self-worth and respect through her music. With her debut album soon to be released by Concord Records, she is positioned to become one of the most exciting artists of jazz.
