Jacqui Sutton makes her SFJAZZ debut at the Stanford Shopping Center Summer Music Series, and is joined by her Houston, Texas-based Frontier Jazz Quartet. It's jazz, bluegrass and a lot of other influences, wrapped into one cohesive sound called "Frontier Jazz". Described by music/arts critic C. Michael Bailey as the place “where jazz meets the American frontier,” Jacqui draws from over 20 years of musical and stage experience, interweaving jazz and bluegrass with orchestral, pop and Americana influences. In her ears, the banjo, mandolin and fiddle continually intermingled with jazz, eventually coalesce into her distinctive Frontier Jazz sound. She was recently featured in Chris Becker’s Freedom of Expression: Interviews with Women in Jazz (November 2015), a book discussing the contributions made by women in the jazz world.
Featuring:
Jacqui Sutton – vocals
Paul Chester – banjo, guitar
Anthony Sapp – bass
Max Dyer – cello
Henry Darragh – piano
Stage will be at the Plaza near Neiman Marcus.
*This performance is proudly sponsored by Ifshin Violins, El Cerrito, CA.
