In 2020, McPherson released “Jazz Dance Suites” on his independent label Chazz Mack Music. It was a culmination of five years of commissioned work with the San Diego Ballet, recorded with his current working band and guests. On July 23-28 Marcus Gilmore will bring his blend of global and New York City excursions to the historic Village Vanguard . He will be joined by his working Quintet: saxophonist/EWI Morgan Guerin, pianist David Virelles, and bassists Rashaan Carter and Burniss Travis . Gilmore’s Quintet is creatively resourceful and audiences can expect an exciting exploration of percussion and all that comes with it.
There are vocalists and then there is Fay Victor, a vibrant singer who brings improvisation and exploration to her every song. On July 24 for a one-night stand only, she brings her voicings of multi-genres to Dizzy’s Club two shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
