Quentin E. Baxter presents...Legendary Jazz Tenor Saxophonist and SC Native,
HOUSTON PERSON!
featuring
Lafayette Harris, Jr - piano
Matthew Parrish - bass
Quentin E. Baxter - drums
As eclectic as he is talented, Houston Person has recorded everything from disco, gospel, pop and R&B to his trademark soulful hard bob. Currently, Person is regarded as a master of popular songs played in a relaxed, highly accessible style reminiscent of the great Ben Webster.
Person built his reputation as a leader with a series of soulful recordings for Prestige Records in the '60s. For a large part of his career he was best known for his legendary partnership with the great vocalist Etta Jones, which lasted more than 30 years until her death in 2001. Boasting more than 75 albums recorded as a bandleader, Person is widely revered as "one of the most soulful jazz players on the scene today. A musician who pays close attention to melody and has a deep sense of the blues, extending the tradition of Gene Ammons and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and keeps the soul-jazz flames alive!"

Quentin E. Baxter presents...Jazz Violinist and Sony Masterworks Recording Artist,
REGINA CARTER: Simply Ella!
featuring
Xavier Davis - piano & keyboards
Marvin Sewell - acoustic & electric guitars
Chris Lightcap - acoustic & electric bass
Alvester Garnett - drums
A MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" recipient, Carter is regarded and respected as the foremost jazz violinist of her generation. Her upcoming album and touring program, Simply Ella, marks the 100th birthday of a musical legend. The program celebrates the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald - the source of Carter's musical inspiration. An influence she has cherished throughout her life, Carter describes her visceral connection to Ella's music:
"Growing up in Detroit, there was always music playing in our home. While there was a variety of music I enjoyed, there were few recordings and artists I found consistently captivating. Ella Fitzgerald was one of these exceptions. To this very day, whenever I hear an Ella recording it grabs me at my core...I'm so excited to celebrate Ella Fitzgerald, an artist who has meant so much to all the notes in my musical life."

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 2017
Quentin E. Baxter presents...Jazz Vocalist ANNIE SELLICK!
featuring
Kevin Bales - piano
Billy Thornton - bass
Quentin E. Baxter - drums
Annie Sellick may be compared to the greats - "Ella's playfulness, Carmens attitude, Betty's instincts, and Anita's flair..." (Greg Lee, WMOT jazz radio), but she is unequivocally and undeniably an original. Dont let her southern drawl, as sweet as biscuits n' honey, cause you to make assumptions. There is nothing shy or demure about Sellick's control - of the stage, the music, her sound, and her audience.
"Annie Sellick is very much a jazz singer, who focuses on the music, but she is also a storyteller and her rendition of emotionally complex songs is masterful...she is also a stunning visual performer. After seeing her perform twice, I see no reason why she shouldnt be a star." - Critic Roger Crane L.A. Jazz Scene
