A Celebration | R&B of the 2000’s – Sheldon Alexander Trio

For one night at Black Cat, drummer Sheldon Alexander and his trio revisit the sounds of 2000s R&B through a jazz lens, blending improvisation, rhythm, and conversation.

Rather than a or note-for-note recreation, this performance explores what happens when great songs are placed in the hands of musicians who grew up with them. Come experience a reshaping of the classics you know and love that lived on your burned CDs and iPods, without losing the spirit of the songs themselves. The result is a night that feels both familiar and unexpected, moving effortlessly between nostalgia, groove, and spontaneity.

Whether you spent the 2000s listening to Alicia Keys, Usher, Ashanti, Ne-Yo, and Beyoncé , or simply love great live music, this is a chance to hear the soundtrack of an era from a different perspective.

Join Sheldon Alexander and his trio for an evening celebrating the music, feeling, and culture of 2000s R&B.

Band Lineup:
Sheldon Alexander, drums
Kevin Person, piano
Dana Roth, bass
