Three jazz performances scheduled at COW, May 6
The Hot Club of Detroit with vocalist Cyrille Aimée and The College of Wooster’s Jazz Combo will perform on campus Friday, May 6, 7:30 p.m. at the Gault Recital Hall, Scheide Music Center, 525 E. University St.
The Jazz Combo, under the direction of Jeffrey Lindberg, professor of music, will perform the music of Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Joe Zawinal. Musicians are College of Wooster students Etienne Massicotte, piano; Eric Moizuk, bass; Ben Turner, drums; and Micah Motenko and Keenan McDonald, alto saxophone.
The Hot Club of Detroit - a quintet of two guitars, saxophone, bass, and accordion - produces an eclectic sound and offers a well-rounded repertoire. Hot Club was founded in 2003 by students at Wayne State University in Detroit. The ensemble rapidly accumulated accolades and audiences over the next several years, including a first-place win in the 2004 Detroit International Jazz Festival competition and multiple Detroit Music Awards. Performing are Julien Labro, accordion; Evan Perri, guitar; Paul Brady, guitar; Andrew Kartzat, bass; Andrew Bishop, saxophones.
They will be joined by 27-year-old French singer Cyrille Aimée, who has performed throughout Europe and the U.S. to rave reviews. The Washington Post said, “(She has a voice) like fine whiskey - oaky and smooth.” The New York Times said, “Her singing is playful - full of feeling, space, and light.” La Republique said, “A sublime voice spontaneously built in the heart of the gypsy world.”
The concert is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
