The Folly Theater is thrilled to welcome back hometown favorite Karrin Allyson as part of its renowned Jazz Series. Allyson, a celebrated vocalist, pianist, and composer, will be performing material from her latest release, "A Kiss for Brazil." This album, released by Origin Records, is a continuation of her musical exploration of Brazilian sounds, featuring collaborations with Brazilian singer and guitarist Rosa Passos. The album includes a mix of classic Brazilian tunes and original compositions, showcasing Allyson's versatility and deep connection to the genre. Notable tracks include "O Grande Amor," where Allyson's velvet alto complements Passos' contralto, and "Month of March in Salvador Dunas," a lively duet that highlights their rhythmic prowess and scat exchanges. Allyson's performance will also feature an ensemble of all-star accompanists, including Vitor Gonçalves on piano, Rhodes, and accordion, Yotam Silberstein on guitar, Harvie S on bass, and Rafael Barata on drums. This event marks the opening performance of the longest-running Jazz Series in Kansas City, promising an evening of exceptional music and artistry.

‘The Orders’: Tasos Papastamou – violin/composer, Erik T. Johnson – poet/narrator and Gene Pritsker – composer/guitar present a concert of music by Papastamou and Pritsker. The event will feature Pritsker’s chamber music including the premier of ‘The Rock At The End Of the World’’ for narrator violin, guitar and Samplestra (pre-recorded electronics); and the dramatic work ‘The Orders’ by Papastamou and Johnson. The Orders follows a day in the life of Bright-Eyes, a spirit summoned from death by an unknown force into our world–much as we wake daily to go about our ordinary lives in search of ways to bring meaning to our existence. Through a series of encounters with her past and present, she moves towards the revelatory purpose behind her return.

Two-time Grammy winner Alan Broadbent, born in Auckland, New Zealand, received a DownBeat magazine scholarship at the age of 19 to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston. In 1969, he was invited to join Woody Herman’s band as a pianist and arranger, a role he held for three years. Settling in Los Angeles in 1972, Broadbent began a fruitful musical relationship with the renowned singer Irene Kral, and his talents as a pianist were soon sought after in the studio scene, working with notable artists such as Nelson Riddle, David Rose, Barbara Streisand, and Johnny Mandel.
