Greetings from the desk of Vince Paul
Russell Peters returns to the Main Stage on the 1st with his tour, ‘RELAX – It’s Not That Serious’. And can’t we all use a reminder of that, in this crazy world? He’s one of Rolling Stones’ ’50 Best Comics of All Time’ and he sets STADIUM attendance records in NYC, London and Sydney, so don’t miss this one!
The mid-month highlight is four performances of Je’Caryous Entertainment’s production of ‘Marvin – The Marvin Gaye Musical’ featuring this iconic artist’s greatest hits. Set in a nation in transition, the show follows the meteoric rise, groundbreaking artistry, and personal battles that shaped the man on a journey of love, loss, faith, family, and the relentless pursuit of artistic truth.
Aretha’s Jazz Café is the heart of Music Hall’s community programming and comes through again with EIGHTEEN shows including global trumpet star Jeremy Pelt on the 21st . Voted ‘Rising Star’ for five years running by Downbeat Magazine, Pelt “is a technical marvel who executes intricate solos with ease, plays gorgeous ballads in a tasteful manner, and never lacks flair or sensitivity” -- Ron Wynn / Jazz Times. Sounds like a great night to us.
Don't forget, you can reserve a Jazz Cafe table before every show. Please note there’s an abridged menu on Main Stage show nights Menu so we can serve everyone in time for the curtain.
As always, "I'll see you downtown"
