THURSDAYS ON FIRST & THIRD - WK #1
PEACE PLAZA STAGE:
5PM: The D'Sievers
7PM: BOB MAMET TRIO
Bob Mamet is an internationally acclaimed Jazz pianist and composer. His three highly successful albums for Atlantic Records garnered critical acclaim and were embraced by a wide spectrum of Jazz fans. His collaborations with artists such as Alex Acuna, Larry Carlton, Eric Marienthal, Gerald Albright, and David Benoit led Jazziz magazine to proclaim “Mamet is a brilliant composer [who gives] his players an intelligent, thoughtful, and dynamic landscape in which to work."
1ST AVE. STAGE:
5PM: The Morning Kings
7PM: CHARLES WALKER BAND
Grounded in soul, the Charles Walker Band has refined their unique sound into Neo-Funk, a fusion of funk, R&B and soul infused with melodic pop influences. Though compared to an array of musicians (Prince, Bruno Mars, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, George Clinton, and James Brown), their music retains deep gospel influences and positive lyrical messages. Growing up, Walker was influenced by Luther Allison, Stevie Wonder, and Prince.
