Date: May 19, 2022 

Doors: 5PM for Golden Hour

Showtime: 7:30PM 

Tickets: $20 - General Admission

About: 

This will be the official release show of the new album.
TS3 (Timothy Seisser Trio) is thrilled to announce the release of their debut album, “It’s Just O.K.”. This new project from Chicago based Electric Bassist, Timothy Seisser, is a unique sonic mashup of Jazz/Rock/Fusion - Featuring Seisser’s dazzling virtuosity on the 6 string electric bass. He is one of the best kept secrets in the bass world, but sports a performance/recording history as a sideman that puts him at the top of the list in the Chicago Bass scene. Ready to take on the leader role again, Tim started this new trio at the onset of 2020, after a chance encounter with legendary Bassist, Tim Lefebvre. The trio is rounded out by longtime friends and fellow Chicago collaborators, Drummer Jonathan Marks (Hey Champ, Monakr, Dessa, Liquid Soul, Lupe Fiasco) and Keyboardist Andrew Lawrence (Bonelang, Bonzo Squad, District 97).

TS3 is joined on this record by some of the jazz/improv world elite, including Donny McCaslin, Fareed Haque, Howard Levy and Tim Lefebvre. The production work and added electric bass work of Lefebvre is especially notable. The collaboration between Bassists makes for a truly unique sounding project, especially when finished with the stellar mixing and mastering work of grammy award nominated and top L.A. engineer, Marc Nelson. Lefebvre’s endorsement on the project will surely make some in the bass world step up, and discover Seisser’s unique approach to the Electric Bass.

JAZZ MUSIC SERIES presents: Emmaline

Date: Thursday June 2, 2022

Doors: 5PM for Golden Hour 

Showtime: 7:30PM 

Tickets: $30 - General Admission | $80 - VIP (Table for 2- first 3 rows) 

About Emmaline: 

Emmaline is a singer and songwriter possessing a smoky, jazz-infused, genre-fluid voice admirable as much for the range of traditional sounds she draws upon, as for her startling freshness—fresh, as in new and innovative as well as in attitude and sly humor. Her songs are bold in statement and soft in feel, her flow supple and precise. She prides herself in being one who has listened with deep intention to her heroes—Anita O’Day and Billie Holiday, Erykah Badu and D’Angelo—and has already learned to rise above questions of category with a healthy sense of musical identity and forethought.

“I consider myself a jazz singer,” Emmaline says. “I have been singing jazz my entire life—I studied it and I think that there is a place for me in the jazz world. Whether my music is strictly jazz I cannot say and in fact, would rather not. To me jazz is art, not a set of rules.”

Emmaline’s success speaks for itself: On her first U.S. tour in November of 2019, she performed as the opening act for 10-time GRAMMY winner Chaka Khan at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. On her own, Emmaline has headlined countless, sold-out shows at some of the country’s most notable jazz clubs such as The Jazz Standard (New York City), Scullers (Boston), The Jazz Kitchen (Indianapolis), and Keystone Korner (Baltimore). She has performed in a wide range of situations on stage and online—with big bands and orchestras, singing Jessie J’s “Domino” (à la Billie Holiday) for Postmodern Jukebox and “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing” with the world renowned Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra —and has amassed a substantial social media following. Her first official release—the six-song EP “All My Sweetest Dreams”—was released in September of 2019, and due to the confidence and clarity of the music, the release turbo-charged the tempo of her career ascendancy. Her sophomore EP, “Necessity,” is set to release on October 2, 2020, and Emmaline claims that her listeners are in for a surprise.

Doors: 5pm for Golden Hour 

Showtime: 7:30pm

Tickets: $30 - General Admission | VIP - Table for two, first two rows included with either 1 bottle of house wine OR 4 craft beers

About Denise Thimes: 

After describing her brilliant voice as a perfect mix of Nancy, Sassy, and Lady Day, it came only naturally that the late legendary jazz trumpeter Clark Terry would, at New York’s historical Flushing Town Hall, select Denise Thimes as that night’s featured vocalist.

This truly unique and inspirational artist is often asked by fellow noteworthy musicians “why haven’t we heard of you”? Not to worry. With a voice as noticeably (as Terry puts it) “ranks with all of the greats,” it won’t be long.

Over the course of a multi-faceted career spanning just a little under 3 decades, Thimes is no stranger to the music world, growing up in a home surrounded by all types of music from her father & radio icon, the late Lou “Fatha” Thimes.

Thimes has performed with such jazz notables as Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra,(St. Louis, MO) the late Clark Terry(The Blue Note-NY), Dr. Billy Taylor, Earl May, Benny Powell,(Flushing Town Hall) and James Moody(Blue Note-NY). She has also graced the stage with the likes of Houston Person, Jimmy&Tootie Heath, Bobby McFerrin, and Bucky Pizzarelli.

In recent years she has appeared and toured Paris with David Sanborn, sung for the Queen of Thailand(Mandarin Oriental Hotel), Queen Elizabeth II(British Embassy-Washington D.C. (during her 2009 visit to the U.S), President George W Bush(White House 2007), and was hand picked by the Queen of Soul(Aretha Franklin) to perform for her 72^nd birthday celebration ( 2015-Ritz Carlton, NY).

Thimes has truly been one of the cherished voices of modern jazz.

Date: Wednesday, June 15, 2022

Doors: 5 pm for Golden Hour 

Showtime: 7:30 pm 

Tickets: $15 - General Admission 

‘Service charges apply to ALL ticket purchases (online and box office)’

About Roya Naldi: 

Roya Naldi, based in Chicago, IL, specializes in classic jazz music of the 1920s and 1930s. Classic jazz, especially that which was recorded in Chicago during that time, became her obsession when she was in her teens and has remained a focus in her life since.

Roya Naldi performs many familiar jazz standards, but highlights rarely-heard, unique songs that are sparkling diamonds in the rough. She approaches her music from a perspective of authenticity and emotionalism. Her rich vocal tone and unique style breathes new life into the music of the jazz age, singing with a nuanced, exciting, and often moody style. Roya Naldi views every song as a beautiful story she is telling to her listeners, approaching every lyric with a sense of empathy and emotion. She draws inspiration from many notable jazz singers of the 1920s and 1930s, such as Al Bowlly, Annette Hanshaw, Cliff Edwards, Frank Sylvano, and others. Inspired by these greats, the music Roya Naldi performs gives listeners a modern taste of a style of jazz that has kept its charm and allure for a century!

Roya Naldi has made regular appearances at Chicago’s stylish The Drake hotel, the legendary Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, Hungry Brain, various other venues and festivals in and beyond Chicago, and is always accompanied by the finest musicians of the genre.

'This Madness’ is an EP collection of four songs pressed onto 78rpm vinyl for Rivermont Records! This EP highlights the stunning vocals of Roya Naldi in an intimate and captivating manner, as she sings some of her favorite songs from the Jazz Age. Many of these songs have a deep sentimental value to her and it comes through beautifully in this album. ‘This Madness’ is at times playful, but has an underlying moody / dark feel, both musically and expressed through the album cover art. This album was recorded during the uncertain and difficult year of 2021. It is a tribute to the trying time

The synchronistic relationship Milne has enjoyed with bassist John Hébert since 2010 is matchlessly rounded out with Grammy Award winning drummer Clarence Penn, who represents complimentary threads within the fabric of Milne’s piano trio philosophy -- the intersection of texture and groove. Their 2020 debut recording, “The remission”, released on Sunnyside Records won them 2021 JUNO Award for Jazz Album of the Year: Group.

Jazz Music Series Presents: Michele Thomas 

Date: July 14, 2022

Tickets: $20 - General Admission

About Michele Thomas: 

Gospel-infused jazz singer-songwriter Michele Thomas rounds up an A-list cast of Chicago musicians for her much-anticipated third album The Assumption (released on March 25th) which casts a light on topics of race, sexism and authority yet, ultimately, celebrates the beauty of life. 

A stalwart of the Chicago music scene, both as a singer and a long-term educator, Michele Thomas is a suave innovator. With silken grace she eases in her formative background in gospel, and her love of R&B, soul, and neo-soul, into a musical language that shows a dedication and a passion for jazz, spanning all of its defining eras. Michele’s restless creativity reflects jazz’s improvisatory spirit—for jazz, like life, is a journey and not a destination. 

“Art should be something that is life-affirming for the artist and help them reach their highest potential through expressing themselves freely,” Michele shares. “It should be risky, vulnerable, and done with love and authenticity.” 

The Assumption album is her first release to feature originals alongside imaginatively-arranged jazz chestnuts done in Michele’s unmistakable way. It also features Michele’s band which includes A-list Chicago session and jazz musicians. The personnel here is Chris Mahieu, Rhodes piano; Chris Greene, saxophones; Clark Sommers, bass; Neal Alger, guitar; Jeff Hedberg, trumpet; and Darren Scorza, drums. Darren produced The Assumption; served as the album’s mixing and mastering engineer; arranged many of the non-originals; and contributed horn arrangements. He’s also Michele’s husband and the couple have been primary collaborators longer than the length of their 17-plus year marriage.
