This 90-minute concert highlights some of the music from Brenda Alford’s latest Inspirational Jazz recording, “Messages… Songs for the Soul”, an outcome of the pandemic that she composed to heal and uplift the spirit. Ms. Alford also presents some of her favorite classics, tributes to her musical mentors, Horace Silver, Ella Fitzgerald, and Carmen McRae, the jazzy soul of Aretha Franklin and Phyllis Hyman, and even some bebop vocalese! With a quartet that consists of world class instrumental stars in their own right, the audience experiences instrumentals that capture the senses, ballads that envelope the heart, straight ahead swing that sizzles, and the fabulous funk of the soul side. In a rhythmically diverse Jazz journey from Africa, along Brenda Alford’s life pathway, right on up to New York City, the arrangements and songs in this concert are unique to Brenda’s virtuosity, and to top it off, there‘s a little holiday music!
