Brazilian Skies at The Jazz Station
https://thejazzstation.org/get-tickets/upcoming-shows/#!event/2025/1/17/brazilian-skies
Formed in 2016, Brazilian Skies came about through a shared love of Brazilian music and the desire to explore music by some of the neglected masters of the style. Featuring compositions by Hermeto Pascoal, Moacir Santos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Milton Nascimento, Baden Powell and others, the group’s repertoire embraces the variety of styles that fall under the broad heading of “Brazilian music.” Sambas, bossa novas, choros, tangos, and even a waltz or two are all part of the mix, along with Brazilian-influenced jazz tunes and original pieces from the band members.
Brazilian Skies is made up of some of the finest musicians in the area, whose collective credits span multiple groups and genres, including Baroque ensembles, jazz combos and big bands, and hip hop productions.

Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington's "Nutcracker Suite" with the Jazz Station Big Band (Copy)
Two nights, two shows each. December 12th and 13th, shows at 6:30 and 8:45.
https://thejazzstation.org/get-tickets/upcoming-shows/#!event-list
In 1960, some 68 years after Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky penned his famous “The Nutcracker” ballet, Duke Ellington and his band were in residency in Las Vegas at the Riviera Hotel. While there, Ellington and his longtime collaborator, composer, and arranger, Billy Strayhorn received a call from Columbia Records producer, Irving Townsend. Townsend offers Ellington complete freedom to write and record anything he wants if he signs with the Columbia label. Duke suggests a concept to “create music that can’t be categorized.” Since Ellington likes to perform dance music and Tchaikovsky’s work is a ballet, Strayhorn suggests they reinvent the holiday classic, “The Nutcracker Suite.”

Microphilharmonic Baroque
Alice Blankenship and her microphilharmonic Baroque ensemble on period instruments celebrate Autumn in fine Baroque style. The program will feature the immensely popular and influential "La Folia" by Arcangelo Corelli, and trace some of its immense influence both inside and outside Italy. This will be the "harvest" part of our Autumn feast. For the "hunt" part of the Autumn feast, we will have two Vivaldi concertos: "La Caccia" ("The Hunt") and "Autunno" ("Autumn") from Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The rest of the concert will feature the form of chamber music that Corelli made indelibly popular throughout Europe; the Trio Sonata which reigned supreme for more than a century, before the String Quartet gained dominance.

PPE (Pushing Past Entropy) at Christo's Jazz Lounge
PPE is a jazz power trio dedicated to performing original music by its members and friends. Formed during the Covid-19 lockdown, the band was conceived by bassist Sean Peterson, and includes drummer Ken Mastrogiovanni and guitarist Jack Radsliff. Their music reflects diverse influences from the worlds of jazz, hip hop, and melodic rock – a given tune may suggest guitarist Jim Hall, hip hop producer J Dilla, and the rock band Wilco, for example. The purpose of their performance is to encourage both band and audience to be present together, here in this moment, through the spirit of improvisation, the pleasure of grooves, and the power of possibility. Join us for a night of original compositions!
