“I’m very confident that I’ve heard, in my humble opinion, one of the
5 best jazz CD’s of (the year)….”
****(Albert Price….host of “The Jazz Is Out There” Birmingham, AL)
 

“This is not a borderline ‘jazz influenced’ vocalist….she’s the real thing.”
****(Rob Lester….talkingbroadway.com New York, NY)
 

Introducing………JazzVocalist: Susie Thorne
 

Audiences from Japan toSweden, and many American stops in between, all enthusiastically agree: Susie Thorne is the real thing. A truly classy and classic jazz vocalist infused with real clarity. Real control. Contagious energy and authentic individuality throughout her considerable vocal and stylistic range. 

 

Perhaps that’s why she was nominated for “Best Female Jazz Vocalist 2007” at the Agape Indie Awards in the U.K., and why she’s getting airplay from Argentina to Italy. 

 

Susie Thorne.  The real thing.

Christian Howes

Christian Howes will hold a clinic at Jardine's October 4th from 3 - 5.

On Monday, October 5th he will perform from 6 - 10.

The cost for the clinic is $15 the cost for the show is $10. 

 

NYC-based jazz violinist Christian Howes will offer a pair of events at Jardine’s October 4^th and 5th^st.

  Sunday Oct 4^th 3-5 p.m. Howes will present a clinic on improvisation and jazz for music students and professionals of all ages.  The clinic fee is $15. (NOTE: The clinic will now be held at KC Strings)  Monday Oct 5^th,  Howes will perform a concert from 6-10 p.m. with a jazz quartet. Tickets are $10. Jardine’s is located at 4536 Main St Kansas City, MO 64111

 The nationally known jazz violinist will visit Kansas City as part of a ten-day tour throughout the Midwest. “I thought this tour would be the perfect excuse to visit Kansas City and present not only a concert for the community, but offer a clinic for locally-based musicians whom have perhaps rarely had the opportunity to be exposed to jazz strings.” An Associate Professor at Berklee College of Music, the 37-yr old violinist is also well-known as a music educator, especially in the niche area of jazz and improvising string players. “Violinists, cellists, and violists are starting to see that they can have original voices too, just like other instrumentalists common in popular music such as guitarists and saxophonists. Part of my mission in teaching kids is to encourage them to explore what music has to offer them and in turn give them an avenue to express themselves.”

As an educator, performer and composer, Christian has gained great notoriety and respect from critics and players alike. In August, 2009, Christian was ranked (for the third time) as the #2 violinist in the Downbeat Critics Poll "Rising Stars". Says All About Jazz ,"as a jazz violinist he has no peer".  The Minneapolis Tribune called Christian "arguably the most intriguing young violinist in jazz”.

After releasing a string of potent CDs as a leader, a majority of which flew under the radar of most jazz critics, violinist Christian Howes is set to make a big splash with Heartfelt, his spectacular debut on Resonance Records which charted at 24 on the national jazz radio. Rather than exhibiting the charming delicacy of a Stephane Grappelli or the jaunty Swing era bounce of a Joe Venuti, Howes is a wildly inventive post-bop burner with monstrous facility, a wide expressive range and a take-no-prisoners approach. On Heartfelt, he parlays his Herculean chops, blistering intensity and haunting romanticism into a winning combination that is eminently accessible without sacrificing his obvious skills. 

In recent years, Howes has become an in-demand violinist on the New York scene, performing and recording with a bevy of jazz artists, including alto saxophonist Greg Osby, pianist D.D. Jackson, guitarists Les Paul, Frank Vignola, Joel Harrison, drummer Dafnis Prieto, vibraphonist Dave Samuels’ Caribbean Jazz Project, crossover pioneers Spyro Gyra, and a 3-yr chair in Bill Evans Soulgrass. On Heartfelt, his recent cd release on Resonance Records, the Ohio-born violinist collaborates with pianist-arranger Roger Kellaway, a legendary figure in his own right.

With all the parties brought together by Resonance Records founder George Klabin, Heartfelt is a beautifully balanced cross-generational project blending the wisdom of venerable jazz men (Kellaway and his longtime colleague on bass, Bob Magnusson) with the abundant energy and ideas of promising new youngbloods (Howes and Kneebody drummer Nate Wood).  

“I think what George (Klabin) wanted to accomplish on this record was to put a world-class frame around my playing,” says Howes. “His perception is that I’ve been doing it on my own for all these years and that he had the ability to help me rise above by surrounding my voice with a world class production, so that people could hear it in a context that makes sense to the mainstream jazz audience.” They succeed marvelously on Heartfelt.  

Howes, who counts Stuff Smith, John Blake and Nashville-based Billy Contreras as his biggest violin influences, endorses Yamaha violins and D’Addario strings. He is an Associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music. He is also the founder of the Creative Strings Workshop in Columbus, Ohio.

i get this feeling when i look at you
a sinking sort of deja vu
i know already what you'll put me through
but baby, i'm hooked

you want to meet me in a rendezvous
a little secret, just me and you
do all the things that you want me to
oh...this is one of those things that i shouldn't do
