Think of Camille Thurman as a one-woman jazz festival. A commanding tenor saxophonist, master flutist, and powerhouse vocalist, she’s a polymorphously gifted artist who has emerged over the past decade as one of the most exciting young artists on the New York scene. With a rich, velvety tenor tone reminiscent of Gene Ammons, Thurman brings the same rhythmic agility and improvisational finesse to her epic scat solos. She debuts during Valentine’s week with a mix of jazz classics and more.

Max Roach unarguably sits at the throne of drum percussionists. A quintessential member of the Artform ushered in by Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Kenny Clark, his inimitable style and innovations paved the way for generations of drummers well into the future.
