SUMMARY:Snarky Puppy
DESCRIPTION:Snarky Puppy makes their return to the Jorgensen stage! The five-time Grammy® winning collective\, “has always been a band that prioritizes the sound of the music\,” says bandleader and bassist Michael League. Displaying a wide array of influences including funk\, rhythm & blues\, hard rock\, classic soul\, modern gospel\, new tech\, fusion and jazz\, Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band\, it’s not a fusion band and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice\, as stated in an online discussion about the group\, to “take them for what they are\, rather than judge them for what they’re not.” \n“Our soundscape has expanded dramatically over the years” says League. “When the band started\, we were jazzier\, brainy and music oriented. Moving into the Dallas scene we became groovier\, more emotional\, deeper in a sense. We focused more on communicating a clear message\, understandable to a listener without dumbing things down.” \nIn January 2025 the band collaborated once more with the Metropole Orkest– the Netherlands-based hybrid ensemble renowned for fusing jazz\, classical\, and popular music on a symphonic scale. Captured live over three nights (January 17–19\, 2025) in Utrecht\, the project reunites the two groups a decade after their first joint effort\, Sylva — an orchestral suite released in 2015 that earned the GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album the following year. The result of this collaboration – Somni – will be released November 21\, 2025 via GroundUP Music. \n“It’s by far the most ambitious project we’ve ever done … and it was one of the smoothest records we’ve ever made\,” he says. “Every individual team just absolutely did their job with so much care and love — from the camera operators to our production team.” That spirit was reflected in the room. “The instant feedback was the warmest we’ve ever had. It was encouraging to know that after 22 years of doing what we do\, the music is reaching people.” \nAlways evolving in its musical output\, each new record brings a new vision and progressive direction\, “Our rule is that it can’t sound like it sounded before” comments League\, he continues\, “the music has to feel like it’s moving somewhere.” \nThis also raises the question – where will Snarky Puppy go next? For Snarky Puppy fans\, the answer to this is a very exciting prospect.

SUMMARY:Halie Loren Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special night of jazz with Vocalist Halie Loren and her Quartet! \nHalie Loren – Vocals\nJohn O’Leary – Piano\nWill Slater – Bass\nRick Costa – Drums \nHalie Loren is an international\, award-winning jazz singer/songwriter. She brings a fresh and original perspective to time-honored musical paths\, channeling her innate understanding of connectedness across musical boundaries to forge bonds with diverse audiences in North America\, Asia\, and Europe. Her multi-genre and multi-lingual musical blend across her ten albums to-date has earned several national and international awards in multiple genres as well as significant critical and chart success along the way\, with her albums consistently reaching #1 on the Billboard Japan\, iTunes (Canada and Japan) and Amazon jazz charts. \nAn award-winning songwriter since her early teens\, Halie began garnering international acclaim as a recording artist when her debut jazz album They Oughta Write a Song was named the Best Vocal Jazz Album of the year at the 2009 JPF Independent Music Awards. She was subsequently signed for distribution in Asia by JVC/Victor Entertainment and in North America with Canadian-based jazz label Justin Time Records. Loren’s accolades in more recent years include an Independent Music Award for her original song “Thirsty” in 2011\, a Best Vocal Jazz Album 2012 award in Japan’s Jazz Critique Magazine for her album Heart First\, (which also reached #1 on Canada’s iTunes Jazz chart)\, and a total of four Billboard #1 albums on Japan’s jazz charts since 2013. Her video for “Noah”\, the 2nd single from her 2018 release From the Wild Sky album produced by UK tour-de-force Troy Miller (Amy Winehouse\, Gregory Porter\, Diana Ross)\, won an Emmy in 2019 for Best Music Video as presented by The National Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) Southeast Chapter. \nAlong with recording and songwriting successes\, Halie’s live performances have brought her around the world several times\, with performances on 4 continents thus far\, including tours across the U.S.\, Canada\, France\, the U.K.\, Japan\, Italy\, Egypt\, China\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, South Korea\, Egypt\, and Haiti. Her concerts range from intimate clubs to grand halls to festivals\, from solo to classic jazz trio to lush orchestral collaborations. \nHalie’s newest record\, Dreams Lost and Found\, was recorded in Montreal\, Canada in collaboration with fellow artists from the Justin Time Records family\, and released on April 12\, 2024. This collection of songs explores themes of longing\, seeking\, and seeing with new eyes — the falling away of old illusions and outgrown desires\, finding new visions for love and life\, allowing some dreams to die to make space for new dreams to be born. The album captures the live essence of her music\, that has led to tours and performances for audiences worldwide. The 14-song effort sees Halie lend her take on standards\, originals\, and her personal favorites. \nHalie adds: “This album marks my return to a more jazz-oriented musical sound\, but forged in a completely new environment of creativity (quite literally\, in that I traveled to Montreal to record for the first time) that brought my improvisational spirit to the forefront—in no small part inspired by collaborating with masterful musicians Taurey Butler on piano\, Morgan Moore on bass\, Sam Kirmayer on Guitar\, and Jim Doxas on drums. Though I have performed for years with most of these amazingly talented people\, we’ve never before recorded together… to me\, it was like we were dancing on the edge of the unknown when creating these songs. It felt very alive in the moment\, and I think that comes through the music”
