Jazz Capital Events was pleased to present Ron Sunshine and his New York quartet featuring Matt Ray and Ian Hendrickson-Smith for an intimate crowd of 50 guests this month.  The occasion was a young man’s 65th birthday party, and the swing jazz band was picked out by his daughter.  Ron was asked to perform favorites from the American Songbook as made famous by artists like Frank Sinatra.   Needless to say, Ron was perfect for the occasion.

Ron and his band strolled through favorites like All Of Me, Like Someone In Love, All or Nothing At All, and many more.  What was booked as a 4-hour party went an extra hour as guests danced and ate and drank past midnight.  The classic music and the party were swinging.

Jazz Capital Events makes it easy to book New York musicians for private parties.  Our customized repertoire and great bands make every party special.

From the client:

Hey Aaron,

Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful musical entertainment last Saturday. My dad loved your band and the guests raved about it as well.

Thank You,
Eleanor

Jazz Capital Events Artists Matt Ray, Adam Scone, Al Street, and The Cultures of Rhythm have music prominently featured in Manifred Kirchheimer’s latest film “Spraymasters”.

In SprayMasters, four ex-graffiti writers reflect on their early years as renegades who sneaked into rail yards and decorated New York subway cars with stolen paint while eluding arrest by the authorities. Now in their forties and embraced by the establishment, Lee Quinones, Lady Pink, and Futura 2000 are prominent artists with an international following, while Zephyr is a widely published journalist who writes about popular culture. They talk about the extreme risks they took as teenagers, the joys of seeing their work on subway cars, the diverse styles of graffiti, its global reach, and its place in modern life, where it has been co-opted by advertising and fashion. SprayMasters is a follow-up to Kirchheimer’s underground classic Stations of the Elevated (1980), the first film to feature New York’s infamous subway graffiti.

Although the exuberant painted trains are gone, they live again in SprayMasters, in rare footage never seen before, set to an electrifying musical soundtrack that evokes the heyday of graffiti.

Holiday season is always busy for Jazz Capital Events, and 2007 has been no different. In addition to the multitude of cocktail and dinner parties our musicians have performed at, there are several annual company parties that Jazz Capital Events has had the pleasure of providing music for each year.

At a beautiful Southport, CT restaurant, Paci, one of our most requested trios performed jazz, bossa nova, and holiday classics for a prominent Connecticut-based law firm and their guests. While the guests had a full course dinner and cocktails, the band performed background music that maintained a mood of celebration, while allowing for conversation, laughs, and mingling.

There were some small outbreaks of dancing, but mostly, the conversations and dinner kept everyone chatting and smiling amongst the tables and the bar. A great time was had by all, and the client was very thankful for the music.

“She’s Not Anybody’s Backup Act” By BEN SISARIO

There is an elephant in the room at the Brooklyn headquarters of Daptone Records — a skinny, British elephant with an enormous beehive hairdo and a knack for getting her picture in the tabloids.

The elephant in question is Amy Winehouse, this year’s breakout vocal star. She hired Ms. Jones’s longtime band, the Dap-Kings, to back her up in the studio and on tour, giving the group its first real taste of the limelight. But as Daptone prepares for the release on Tuesday of Ms. Jones’s new album, “100 Days, 100 Nights,” and Ms. Jones prepares for her highest-profile concert yet, at the Apollo Theater on Oct. 6, it has found that its association with Ms. Winehouse is a mixed blessing. For one, they say, people unaware of their years of hard musical labor might wonder if Ms. Jones is jumping on Ms. Winehouse’s bandwagon.

“They jumped on us!” Ms. Jones exclaimed in an interview at the Daptone studio and office, a converted row house in the Bushwick section that has microphones in the bathroom and reels of audio tape filling the kitchen cupboards.

“Even what’s-his-name, Ronson,” she continued, referring to the New York D.J. Mark Ronson, who produced the bulk of “Back to Black,” Ms. Winehouse’s hit album. “They came to us to get the sound they wanted behind their music. We were just sitting here minding our own business, doing our little 45s and albums, and all of a sudden they were like, ‘I want your sound.’”

Thanks to Ms. Winehouse and singers like Joss Stone, Ryan Shaw and Marc Broussard, retro soul styles are enjoying a greater presence in mainstream pop than they have had in years. The Dap-Kings are the most obsessive and skillful revivalists of the bunch, and they are clearly grateful for the exposure they have gotten from Ms. Winehouse and Mr. Ronson, who recently hired the Dap-Kings horns to back him up as the house band at the MTV Video Music Awards.

But that exposure has also put Ms. Jones, who was absent from those freelance gigs, in the odd position of competing against a younger, far more famous singer who had the good taste to use her band.

“First, I feel kind of angry about it,” she said, but then added, “Well, if it took Amy to get the Dap-Kings heard, then it’s a good thing. I say it’s great. Thank you.”

And Ms. Jones is starting to get some breaks of her own. She plays a juke joint singer in “The Great Debaters,” a film by Denzel Washington due in December about a debate team from a black college in the 1930s.

“There’s a reality to her,” said Mr. Washington from Los Angeles, where he was editing the film. “She’s honest. I love her.”

Born in Augusta, Ga. — James Brown’s home town — Ms. Jones moved to Brooklyn with her family at a young age and sang gospel music in church. She has said that she was rejected time and again by record labels for her looks and full figure, and eventually for her age, and she worked as a prison guard at Rikers Island and sang at innumerable weddings while doing backup and session singing. She met Gabriel Roth, the Dap-Kings’ bassist and a co-founder of Daptone Records, at a recording session in 1996 and joined the Daptone family.

Years of club gigs have honed the eight-piece Dap-Kings’ technique, and in its recordings the group meticulously recreates the sound of ’60s-era James Brown and Stax Records. In precisely orchestrated yet fiery live shows, Ms. Jones invites fans half her age to dance with her onstage, and she outlasts every one of them.

When Mr. Ronson was looking for a vintage feel for Ms. Winehouse’s album, he said, he was amazed at the group’s ability to invoke the sounds he wanted better than any sampling or studio wizardry could.

“We were using every computer trick in the book to make it sound old,” Mr. Ronson said. “But it was just so ridiculous.” He said that on the first day the Dap-Kings joined him and Ms. Winehouse in the studio, “it just sounded a million times better.”

Mr. Roth said that the Winehouse project was “something we spent a handful of afternoons knocking out real quick so we can pay some rent.”

“It was a good, honest piece of work,” he continued. “But our music is something we’ve been working on together as a family for a dozen years, and it’s a product of a lot of love and creativity.”

Daptone remains fiercely self-reliant, controlling every aspect of its catalog itself, from recording to publishing to licensing and distribution. The Daptone team members say they are more interested in making music than in seeking commercial success, and with “100 Days, 100 Nights” seem almost obstinately devoted to their sound and methods.

The album has no single intended for pop radio or remixes by Mr. Ronson; in almost every way, it could have been made in 1966. Nor does Daptone intend to make more commercial records in the future. The label’s next release, Mr. Roth said, would be an a cappella gospel album, which he said was almost certain to lose money. The goal is to simply be self-sufficient.

“We’re not comfortable,” Ms. Jones said. “We’re independent. I drive an ’88 Honda.”

If Dreams Come True Features Jazz Vocals, Saxophone, and Composition At It’s Finest

This new release on Nagel Heyer Records represents Carolyn Leonhart and Wayne Escoffery’s collaborative vision – deeply informed by the jazz tradition, but future-focused and as personal as it gets.

The daughter of famed bassist Jay Leonhart, Carolyn has been surrounded by music her entire life and was singing as soon as she could talk. She is one of the most accomplished and versatile singers of her generation. Over the past few years Carolyn has been most known for her previous two releases Steel The Moon and New 8th Day on Sunnyside records, and her tenure as lead back-up vocalist with Steely Dan for eleven years, four world tours, two albums, and four Grammys.

Saxophonist Wayne Escoffery has become a hot commodity as of late performing with the Mingus Band, Ben Riley’s Monk legacy Septet and The Tom Harrell Quintet. He has made a significant impact in 2007 with the release of his new CD Veneration (on the Savant record label) and headlining with his band of the same name at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola this past June. Wayne has been hailed as a masterful saxophonist and a creative genius, fully formed and in command.

Carolyn and Wayne first met on Valentine’s Day, 2002 at Smoke Jazz Club and were married two years later. With If Dreams Come True they bring their talent, their compatible aims and their mutual love and respect to the forefront. The repertoire spans from boldly reconceived songs by Benny Carter, Benny Goodman and Lee Morgan, to songs by Hank Jones, Kenny Barron and original compositions. All beautifully played and eloquently supported by Toru Dodo, Hans Glawischnig, and drummers Jason Brown and Carl Allen. The husband and wife team truly share a desire for exploration – not just in life, but in music.

“With their talent, their compatible aims and their mutual love and respect, the two are poised to make more beautiful music together in the years to come.“
– David R. Adler

The 2007-08 New York Rangers and members of the Rangers Alumni Association were joined by Rangers fans and contributors for a day on the links and a special tribute to Rangers Hall of Famer Rod Gilbert.

Rod Gilbert, the highest-scoring Ranger of all-time, was the guest of honor. Gilbert, the longtime Rangers Alumni Association president, has been a driving force in the team’s community relations efforts since rejoining the organization 18 years ago. In his additional role of Director, Special Projects and Community Relations Representative, he is a year-round ambassador for the team.

The annual charity classic took place this year at the Old Oaks Country Club and the Brae Burn Country Club, both in Purchase, NY.

Attending Rangers Alumni included Bill Chadwick, Ron Duguay, Emile Francis, Adam Graves, Vic Hadfield, Harry Howell, Dave Maloney, Stephane Matteau, Bob Nevin, Pete Stemkowski, Walter Tkaczuk, Steve Vickers, and Gilles Villemure.

Jazz Capital’s group provided the perfect background entertainment during the cocktail hour with the instrumentation of organ, saxophone, and drums. Performing organ soul-jazz classics by artists like Jimmy Smith, Eddie Harris, and Jack McDuff, along with jazz standards by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Duke Ellington, the group entertained at the perfect volume. Guests were able to converse, but those who were interested came closer to the band to appreciate their sound. Among those spotted nodding to the band in approval was Adam Graves, the former Rangers player. Graves also had some kind words for the man being honored that day, Rod Gilbert, “I don’t like to overuse this term, but he’s a ‘legendary’ player,” said Graves. “When you think of the New York Rangers, you think of Rod Gilbert.”

Jazz Capital Events provides the finest entertainment for the world’s most important events. Based in NYC, and serving the special events industry, Jazz Capital Events adds the right touch to cocktail hours, charity events, and corporate functions of all kinds.

This September, Jazz Capital Events once again proved why it’s a leader in the special events industry by delivering an amazing band of top-call jazz musicians from New York City to a private, invite-only birthday celebration at the client’s residence in Greenwich, CT. The client, a respected member of the banking industry, approached Jazz Capital in search of an alternative to the stock bands that so many agencies offer. He wanted a group that could blend in to a sophisticated, catered event for 100 guests, but one that could also provide some character, some energy, and some soul. Essentially, this client wanted some “real jazz,” without sacrificing the ability to converse and have dinner comfortably with his friends and family.

Jazz Capital Events was able to secure its most requested piano trio, The Matt Ray Trio, along with the New Orleans-born and bred trumpet phenom Kevin Louis, (of both the Duke Ellington and Count Basie bands), for this date. Taking inspiration from the old record “The Oscar Peterson Trio +1″, this band, featuring Michael Hawkins (of the Cyrus Chestnut Trio) on bass, and Aaron Thurston (The Cultures of Rhythm, US Jazz Ambassadors) on drums, swung deep all night, performing jazz classics like Stompin At The Savoy, Footprints, and Freedom Jazz Dance.  The client was impressed.  “These guys are the real deal!” he remarked.

As the cocktail hour began, the musicians warmed the guests up with some classic jazz standards. As dinner arrived, the band was encouraged to “do their thing”, and proceeded to dig in and improvise at will, never straying too far from “background music” volume. After dinner, as the guests and the guest of honor mingled, the band went deeper into their dance-tempo repertoire, doing some New Orleans numbers like “I Feel Like Funkin It Up”, and “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”.

The client was impressed, not only with the music, but also with the number of compliments the band received from his guests. He thanked the band for helping to make his birthday celebration a success, and requested them for future engagements at his residence.

Jazz Capital Events’ groups are the perfect selection for special events that require a balance of soul, energy, class, and taste. It’s truly “real jazz”, with no hassle.

Jazz Capital Events Customizes A Presentation of “The Cultures of Rhythm” for Business Strategy Launch Event

When the Chicago-based consulting firm Russell Williams Group was asked to put together an inspiring event to launch the brand new business strategy of a successful major corporation in New York City, they decided to think outside the box. Improv troupes, comedy acts, magicians, and motivational speakers have been done over and over at corporate events. This presentation would be for a client whose teams of professionals are extremely smart, quick, and talented. This would be an audience who would not have the patience to sit through a typical corporate motivational presentation. They approached Jazz Capital Events with the idea of using a band as more than just entertainment. They wanted a group that could be integrated into the presentation.

The Cultures of Rhythm was an obvious choice for such a venture. As 5-time US Dept. of State Jazz Ambassadors, Jazz Foundation of America Clinicians, and experienced Corporate Event musicians, the group is very well-versed in audience participation. In fact, these professional artists have given presentations all around the world to every age group. The members of this New York jazz band are able to adapt and work within whatever parameters a client has in mind, including integration into a speaker’s presentation.

Jazz Capital Events worked closely with Russell Williams Group’s executives over several weeks to construct a completely integrated presentation. The members of the jazz group not only performed - they demonstrated their process of working together as individuals to create something new together. The theme was improvisation.  Part of the performance was synced with a slide and video presentation, and there was a heavy emphasis on audience participation, including the musical exercises “call and response”, “clapping”, and even special improvisations with volunteers.

This well-planned corporate event was a tremendous success. It took place during the day at the beautiful Jazz At Lincoln Center’s Dizzy’s Coca-Cola Club overlooking Central Park at Columbus Circle. In most cases, a five-hour event can be exausting for a company employee to sit through. After this integrated, multimedia presentation however, both Russell Williams Group and The Cultures of Rhythm received standing ovations. The client credited The Cultures of Rhythm with giving an unprecedented boost to the morale of the company, and sending the employees back to the office inspired. Each participant also took home The Cultures of Rhythm’s debut CD to help remember the event’s message and to stay inspired through coming months.
