SUMMARY:Frank Owens on the Upper Terrace at Bryant Park
DESCRIPTION:Come on by and tap your toes to The Big Apple’s finest ragtime\, stride\, and jazz pianists around! Featuring special events and performances by distinguished musicians sprinkled throughout the schedule. \n \nFrank Owens \nFrank Owens – Pianist\, Arranger\, Musical Director\, Producer & Composer\nHis career spans across genres of the music spectrum. A true professional and quite often dubbed as “the perfectionist\,” Frank Owens is an authority on Erroll Garner\, and the late Eubie Blake\, with whom he briefly studied. His first gig included playing piano for Amateur Night at the Apollo\, in Harlem. If Frank Owens played for you as a singer in those days\, you were sure to win that night…or at the very least\, you would be asked to return the following week. Eventually\, in the 90s\, Frank served as Musical Director for the televised version of “Showtime at the Apollo.” A virtuoso pianist\, trained in the European classics\, he can shift gears at a moment’s notice to paint a Brazilian or Japanese landscape.

SUMMARY:James Francies and Friends at Blue Note Jazz Club
DESCRIPTION:Plenty of young musicians show promise\, but very few enjoy the sort of meteoric rise that pianist\, keyboardist and composer James Francies is currently experiencing. At only 24\, he’s played with jazz headliners like Pat Metheny\, Chris Potter\, Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Stefon Harris\, Eric Harland\, and Terrace Martin\, and racked up equally impressive credits in hip-hop and R&B: from shows with Ms. Lauryn Hill\, José James\, Common\, and NAS\, to studio time for Chance the Rapper’s Grammy-winning hit “No Problem”\, Mark Ronson \, Childish Gambino\, YEBBA\, Drake\, and Kodak Black\, to appearances with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon alongside his mentor and friend Questlove. \nNow comes Flight\, the extraordinary debut album that welcomes Francies into the storied Blue Note Records family and finds him melding his jazz mastery and pop experience on 11 searching\, engaging tracks. But as bold and new as this moment might seem for Francies\, it’s also a homecoming\, in more ways than one. Francies\, like his Blue Note predecessors Robert Glasper\, Jason Moran\, Chris Dave and Kendrick Scott\, is a proud Houstonite and a graduate of that city’s High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA)\, one of the nation’s most reliable incubators for era-defining jazz talent. “Just to follow in their footsteps\, let alone in the footsteps of Herbie Hancock\, Bud Powell and all of these other artists who recorded for the label\, it’s an honor\,” Francies says. “And there’s a responsibility that comes with it too.”

SUMMARY:Miki Yamanaka Trio & Jam Session at Smalls Live
DESCRIPTION:33-year old Japanese-born pianist Miki Yamanaka has called New York City home since 2012 and in the past decade has wasted no time establishing herself as one of the leading personalities of her generation on the piano and beyond. Critics laud her “light\, expressive touch and solidly crafted\, mainstream approach” – Mike Jurkovic (All About Jazz)\, while audiences delight in not only her playing\, but her vibrant personality as well. Yamanaka has gained international recognition from her albums as a leader; her most recent and most intimate release\, “Stairway to the Stars” (Outside In Music)\, features Jazz masters Mark Turner and Orlando le Fleming. Additionally\, Miki has emerged as a leader of the “New York Scene” via her notable residencies at mainstay West Village sister clubs Smalls and Mezzrow. During the pandemic\, she developed a successful in-home live-streaming weekly concert series cleverly titled “Miki’s Mood” where she features a veritable who’s who of NYC talent (including her husband and frequent collaborator – drummer Jimmy Macbride). The series showcases her vast knowledge of Jazz standards and tunes\, often featuring themed offerings of various composers from both the Great American Songbook as well as iconic Jazz composers. As a sideman\, Yamanaka has worked with Jazz luminaries such as alto saxophonist Antonio Hart who posits “Miki will be recognized as one of the most exceptional artists of her generation\, as she is already one of the most talented and dedicated musicians from Japan.”
