Jazz Music Series Presents: Michele Thomas 

Date: July 14, 2022 

Doors: 5 pm for Golden Hour 

Showtime: 7:30 pm 

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.

About:

Two for the Road Anne Burnell & Mark Burnell

Mark and Anne (Pringle) Burnell, partners in life as well as music, haven’t made a true duo album since 2000, when they released Little Things We Do Together. In the intervening years, there have been plenty of things – big as well as little – that they’ve done together: Mark almost always accompanies Anne, on stage and on her own discs. But Two for the Road is the first album in 20 years on which they share the marquee and blend their voices, making this album long overdue.

Beyond that, the time is always ripe for an album that can tell stories in song, and that goal has driven the Burnells’ music from the beginning. 

With her timbre of clarified honey, containing a hint of clove, Anne can shape her voice around a gaggle of genres: jazz, blues, pop, and hybrids of all three, handling each with a mix of intimacy and strength. She got her degree in theater, and it shows in her assured ability to get inside the words. She doesn’t scat much, but don’t let that fool you: jazz singing entails so much more – the rhythmic legerdemain called swing; the musicality that counsels what to change and when; the gamut of expressivity that jazz artists have sought to convey from the beginning; and the ability to freshen songs from other genres. 

As a pianist and arranger, Mark also covers a range of styles and contexts, no surprise when you learn he taught music at Carnegie-Mellon for ten years (after obtaining two degrees there). In framing the stories in these songs, he crafts arrangements that recall the jazz tradition’s deep roster of accomplished accompanists. And as you might hope from a husband backing up his wife, his playing dovetails neatly with Anne’s interpretations; so does his voice. 

Like jazz artists from the music’s inception, they also know where to look and what to borrow to enhance their work. In that vein, they’ve also studied cabaret, which is as old as jazz, for what it can teach about telling stories and building a show. As Anne reminds us, “Cabaret is an umbrella, really, a style of performance” – an incorporation of music and theater that, purposefully or not, has informed the artistry of singers from Billie Holiday through Carmen McRae and on up to Cecile McLorin Salvant in the present day.

Another factor in the making of this album: the Burnells wanted to share a couple of arrangements from their friend, the widely admired trumpeter and Chicago native Bobby Ojeda, that hadn’t made it onto a previous disc. (Ojeda, who died in 2020, wrote charts for Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan, and Peggy Lee, among others; who’d want to leave any of his contributions in the rearview mirror?) The Burnells also had some of their own compositions to include, as well as a sweet tune written by their friend Shelly Markham, “You Make Me Laugh."

About Hard Bop Messengers - Live At The Last Hotel: 

“Live At The Last Hotel”, the latest release from John Covelli’s Hard Bop Messengers, is a jazz album that literally tells a story. The visionary, original, genre-defying musical journey that reminds you of what jazz can be, was born from a residency at the REAL Last Hotel in downtown St. Louis. Each song paints a picture with bounce and bustle, that takes you to a place and time that somehow feels both nostalgic and modern. The lyrics tell the story of the trials and tribulations of a fictional hotel through the eyes of its employees.

Covelli knew he had something special when he assembled this group and he gives them all room to shine. Nick Savage, Chris Meschede, Luke Sailor, and Ben Shafer are, like himself, of the esteemed Webster University jazz program. Matt Krieg, originally from St Louis, puts the vocals where they need to be to tell Covelli’s lyrical tale.

Covelli has played in dozens of bands over the years and learned just as many styles. His compositions are infused with such influences, including Latin, funk, chamber-classical, soul, blues and rock, and he hopes the result will have the audience tapping toes and bobbing heads along with every tune.
