SUMMARY:Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini
DESCRIPTION:Dinner Special:\nPistachio Herb Stuffed Chicken Breast\nRoasted Potatoes\nHouse Salad\nBaguette\n*meat & veggie chili will be available to order at the counter \n––– \nAmerican trombonist and singer/songwriter Natalie Cressman and Brazilian composer/guitarist/and singer Ian Faquini have created a uniquely intimate duo collaboration\, drawing from impressionism\, jazz\, and the great Brazilian songwriting tradition. The duo’s global take on music is largely expressed through the distinct compositional voice of Faquini\, with occasional lyrics penned by Cressman. Their original material features songs in three different languages and encompasses a vast spectrum of musical ground. With the warm instrumentation of acoustic guitar and trombone and two-part vocal harmonies hugging the Brazilian-accented Portuguese\, Cressman and Faquini weave their musical voices together to create a fully orchestrated sound befitting a much larger ensemble. Together Cressman and Faquini performed in the US at venues including the Monterey Jazz Festival\, SFJAZZ Center\, and and in Brazil\, Portugal\, Spain\, and Italy. \nNatalie Cressman Website \nIan Faquini Website\nSponsored by Wedeen Hammer Locatelli Group at Morgan Stanley\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)

SUMMARY:Angela Strehli with Special Guest Mighty Mike Schermer
DESCRIPTION:Dinner Special:\nChicken Tagine with Olives\, Preserved Lemons & Saffron\nRice Pilaf\nHouse Salad\nBaguette\n*meat & veggie chili will be available to order at the counter \n––– \nThe blues captures life at its most pure. It speaks to the human spirit with no pretense\, fuss\, or gloss. Nobody knows the blues quite like Angela Strehli does. For over five decades\, her voice has coursed through the genre akin to blood through a heart. Her influence can also be felt in the legacy of Antone’s—the iconic Austin blues club she founded with the late Clifford Antone that became internationally famous and still exists today. It was there that Strehli sang with the likes of Muddy Waters\, Jimmy Reed\, Albert King\, Otis Rush and many others\, all of whom mentored and encouraged her. Seventeen years since her last solo album\, Strehli magnifies her voice once again on her 2022 full-length debut for New West Records\, the aptly titled Ace of Blues. The album also marks the first release of the relaunched Antone’s Records label as well. “Blues music is songs about life\,” she muses. “It has evolved\, because life does. It’s about all of the emotions\, the problems\, and the triumphs people go through expressed in music. There’s no big production to hide the emotion. You have to really put it out there. In my case\, I had wonderful musicians to bring it out of me. It’s all about the band\,” she humbly states. “I don’t even enjoy singing with stage lights on me. I want to see who I’m singing to\, because it’s for them.” Strehli will be joined by guitarist Mighty Mike Schermer on this concert date. \nAngela Strehli Website \n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)

SUMMARY:Charlie Hunter & Scott Amendola Duo – 7:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:The year is 1993\, July 3rd to be exact\, 10 AM to be even more exact…Charlie Hunter called up Scott Amendola (at Kenny Brooks’ recommendation after hearing him at a local jam session in San Francisco)\, to fill in for his drummer who had double-booked himself that night. They had a great conversation and great night of music. That continues now\, nearly 30 years later\, as they bring playfulness\, joy\, and mastery of their instruments for a unique\, fun\, and engaging musical evening. \nHunter consistently ups his game as an innovative writer and bandleader. He has worked with Norah Jones\, Mos Def\, John Mayer\, D’Angelo and countless others. He is widely considered the authority on the seven- and eight-string guitar\, and continues to stun audiences with his ability to simultaneously play tasty bass parts\, melodic leads and swinging rhythms. Critics have touted his technique\, but it’s his profound artistic sensibility that propels his original music. \nAn ambitious composer\, savvy bandleader and capaciously creative foil for some of the world’s most inventive musicians\, Amendola applies his rhythmic virtuosity to a vast array of settings. His closest musical associates include Nels Cline\, Jeff Parker\, Wil Blades\, Regina Carter\, Jenny Scheinman\, and Ben Goldberg – players who have each forged a singular path within and beyond the realm of jazz. \nCharlie Hunter Website \nScott Amendola Website\nSponsored by Val\, Terry & Asha Cole \n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)
