Women In Jazz: Fuller, Jensen, & Younger 

Our Women in Jazz series continues with the music of three relative newcomers – saxophonist Tia Fuller, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, and harpist Brandee Younger. All three are commanding presences on stage and in the studio. Fuller and Jensen, while leading their own combos, are also in-demand session players. Younger is opening ears once again to the delights of the harp in jazz.

Wycliffe Gordon with the KCC and CR Jazz Big Bands

Over the years, Kirkwood Community College has played host to some of the premier talent in jazz. Many times, we are fortunate to have them share the stage with Kirkwood student performers and local ensembles. This week, we revisit Wycliffe Gordon’s jam with the Kirkwood Community College and the CR Jazz Big Bands. Recorded live in Ballantyne Auditorium, it was a great night of swing!

Presenting Artemis

Renee Rosnes has seen her share of jazz supergroups. Thirty years ago, she held down the piano chair with Out of the Blue, a youthful all-star crew formed by Blue Note Records. She was a charter member of the SFJAZZ Collective. For Artemis, Rosnes enlisted trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, clarinetist Anat Cohen, tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana, drummer Allison Miller, bassist Noriko Ueda, and vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant.
