Sean Jones’ Dizzy Spellz has wowed New York audiences for years with its interpretation of the late\, great Dizzy Gillespie through Jones’ trumpet prowess and his stellar band\, which includes a turntablist and the tap dancing style of Brinae Ali. Ali pounds a board in Appalachian style\, with her rhythmic feet miked and manipulated to create otherworldly sounds. The turntables give the music a modern edge\, inventing new expressions just like Gillespie did as he explored thought-provoking jazz directions\, incorporating bebop and later helping introduce Afro-Cuban styles to American jazz audiences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/sean-jones-dizzy-spellz/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DIZZY1920x1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220929T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220929T193000 DTSTAMP:20260429T212400 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260420T233606Z UID:10000369-1664479800-1664479800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Cécile McLorin Salvant DESCRIPTION:Salvant\, regularly and rightly\, is considered one of the greatest jazz singers of her generation\, but that label sells her short.—Rolling Stone \n\n\n\n\nA tuneful way to prepare for Halloween would be spinning up Cécile McLorin Salvant’s new album\, Ghost Song.

Convos supported these instant-favorite Monday-night livestreams in early 2021\, which grafted Cohen’s fluid grasp of the jazz canon with a deeply grooving rhythm section—featuring bassist Russell Hall and drummer Kyle Poole\, along with a remarkable cast of superlative “houseguests” to create one of the most successful-yet-intimate jazz experiences on the internet. Now\, Convos is thrilled to welcome Cohen’s trio along with some of your favorite Live From Emmet’s Place All-Stars for a real-time\, in-person performance. In 2019\, Cohen’s trio previously backed jazz vocalist Veronica Swift’s Purdue engagement during the same week in which Cohen was named the American Pianists Association’s Cole Porter Fellow in Jazz. Having since lit up legendary nightclubs and jazz festivals worldwide with his inimitable charm\, Cohen will now turn Loeb Playhouse into a Live from Emmet’s Place at Purdue.\n\n \n\nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES\n\n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/emmet-cohen-trio/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz,Music,Piano ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/1920x600-5.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220121T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20220121T200000 DTSTAMP:20260429T212400 CREATED:20211008T010053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220824T223555Z UID:10000354-1642795200-1642795200@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Joshua Redman Quartet DESCRIPTION:“Unparalleled among horn players today” – JazzTimes\nWhat began as a brief detour into Brooklyn’s jazz scene for Joshua Redman blossomed into 30 years of ceaseless innovation\, acclaimed recording and passionate performance.

Propelled by bassist Reuben Rogers\, drummer Gregory Hutchinson and pianist Aaron Goldberg\, Redman’s Grammy®-nominated namesake quartet generates a tight and joyous onstage alchemy\, most recently captured on its 2019 album\, Come What May.

Hailing from America\, Canada\, Israel\, Chile and Japan\, the sextet features Renee Rosnes (piano / musical director)\, Ingrid Jensen (trumpet)\, Anat Cohen (clarinet)\, Noriko Ueda (bass)\, Allison Miller (drums) and tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana\, the latter of whom Convocations presented to sold-out Carnahan Hall crowds in 2014. Regularly leading their own bands\, the artists of Artemis gather their genius for selections spanning Thelonious Monk to the Beatles—presented with passion\, power and sensitivity. This performance represents Convocations’ kick-off contribution to the 30th annual Purdue Jazz Festival\, a Purdue University Bands event bringing more than 2\,500 middle- and high-school students to campus for clinics and concerts. \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 7PM | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin composer\, jazz pianist and music educator Dr. Judd Danby for a pre-show discussion.

Today’s performers stoke this wildfire’s embers to spark new innovation in the iconic neighborhood. Created in collaboration with the National Jazz Museum\, Harlem 100 presents sounds and ideas from Fats Waller\, Duke Ellington\, Langston Hughes\, Billie Holiday\, and more in a modern-day variety-show homage to evenings at the Apollo\, Cotton Club or Alhambra. Dubbed a “full-bore entertainer” by The New York Times\, Michael Mwenso and his backing band\, the Shakes\, are joined by special-guest vocalists Vuyo Sotashe and Brianna Thomas and tap dancer Michela Marino Lerman. Harlem 100 is certain to satisfy your soul and let the good times roll. \nShow Time: 80-90 minutes with no intermission. \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 7PM | STEWART CENTER 310\nJoin Dr. Cornelius Bynum\, an Associate Professor in the Department of History\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance. \n  \n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/harlem-100/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/100_1920x600.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20190926T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20190926T193000 DTSTAMP:20260429T212401 CREATED:20190615T010010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190625T041414Z UID:10000268-1569526200-1569526200@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Cameron Graves DESCRIPTION:“His contrastingly romantic and ardent chord-work suggest what Rachmaninoff might have sounded like if he’d played in a contemporary fusion band.” — The Guardian \nHailed by Rolling Stone as “the house pianist for the party at the end of the universe\,” Cameron Graves is revitalizing funk\, jazz\, soul and fusion with kaleidoscopic\, kinetic energy. After cutting his teeth on Chopin\, Coltrane and Van Halen\, Graves co-founded L.A.’s West Coast Get Down (WCGD) alongside the supernova saxophone of Kamasi Washington. Known as the Wu-Tang Clan of jazz\, the WCGD collective is prolific when united or untethered. Graves’ 2017 debut album\, Planetary Prince\, emerged from a marathon WCGD recording session. Whether turning Ellington on its ear or achieving supersonic speeds typically reserved for prog rock and metal\, Graves transposes a fretboard ferocity and fluidity to 88 keys—music to quicken your pulse as easily as it broadens your consciousness.
