6 p.m. – Johnny Rodgers Band Formed in New York City in 2003, the mission of the Johnny Rodgers Band is to bring musical depth to new, original songs. Their music provides a guided tour of Americana pop, from the piano-driven energy of rock and roll, to the supreme sophistication of jazz. They have performed and recorded with artists such as Liza Minnelli, Michael Feinstein, Randy Brecker, and Tom Harrell, and were selected to interpret and perform the music of Billy Joel in a command performance for Joel himself at Lincoln Center.
7:15p.m. – Nasar Abadey and SUPERNOVA Formed in 1979, Nasar Abadey and SUPERNOVA performs jazz in a multi-dimensional and multi-directional way – from crossing the borders of jazz and continuing beyond space and time. They perform and explore various jazz elements such as traditional African rhythms, bebop, fusion, Afro-Cuban, Afro Brazilian, and free form. The quartet’s musical inspirations include John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Duke Ellington.
