SUMMARY:Champian Fulton Quartet featuring Klas Lindquist
DESCRIPTION:“Every song is a work of art in Champian’s hands and voice” (the Aboslute Sound). Her “galvanizing presence” (the New Yorker) and her alluring musical presentation have made her “a charming young steward of the mainstream Jazz tradition.” (The New York Times) \nBorn in Norman Oklahoma in 1985\, Champian is recognized as the “most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation” (Mark Stryker\, the Detroit Free Press). A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years\, she has released 19 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries\, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards\, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018\, 2020\, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine. She regularly appears in both the Jazz Journalist Awards and Downbeats Rising Star Critics Poll. \nIn San Francisco\, Champian Fulton joins forces with Swedish saxophone and clarinet virtuoso Klas Lindquist. This stellar duo\, riding the wave of acclaim for their captivating 2025 album At Home—recently named a finalist for the prestigious Académie du Jazz Grand Prix as one of the best jazz recordings of the year—brings effortless chemistry to the stage\, blending Fulton’s soulful voice and dazzling piano with Lindquist’s lyrical reeds for a night of pure musical magic that’s not to be missed. \nBand lineup:\nChampian Fulton\, piano\, vocals\nKlas Lindquist\, alto sax\, clarinet\nNico Martinez\, bass\nJames Gallagher\, drums

SUMMARY:Love After Dark: Velvet\, Fire\, Smoke ft. Courtney Knott\, James Small & Jonah Levine
DESCRIPTION:Turn down the lights and lean in. This Valentine’s Day weekend\, Black Cat sets the mood with a sultry\, genre-blurring night led by Courtney Knott\, James “StickNasty” Small\, and Jonah Levine: three artists whose chemistry\, groove\, and emotional depth are made for romance after dark. \nCourtney Knott\, a classically trained vocalist\, composer\, producer\, and multidisciplinary artist whose voice moves effortlessly between velvet-soft intimacy and cinematic power. A Berklee graduate who has performed everywhere from the White House to Boston Symphony Hall\, Knott brings a sensual\, otherworldly presence shaped by her work in music\, narrative\, and performance. Her sound is lush\, expressive\, and deeply felt and invites you to slow dance with the shadows. \nDriving the heartbeat of the night is James “StickNasty” Small\, an Oakland-based drummer\, producer\, and actor known for his unshakeable pocket and impeccable taste. A longtime collaborator of 3x Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito\, Small blends deep groove with restraint and intention\, creating rhythms that feel both primal and tender—the kind that keep bodies close and heads nodding all night long. \nRounding out the trio is Jonah Levine\, a composer\, producer\, and sonic architect whose work spans jazz\, soul\, hip-hop\, and global influences. With credits alongside Beyoncé\, Stevie Wonder\, Jay-Z\, Jhene Aiko\, and more\, Levine brings a romantic emotional palette shaped by themes of love\, loss\, and vulnerability. His playing is spacious\, textured\, and raw—perfectly tuned to Valentine’s energy. \nTogether\, these artists create an immersive late-night experience: sensual grooves\, lush harmonies\, and slow-burning improvisation designed for lovers\, friends\, and anyone craving connection. Whether you’re celebrating romance or simply the beauty of feeling something deeply\, this is Valentine’s at Black Cat—intimate\, intoxicating\, and unforgettable. \nBand Lineup:\nCourtney Knott\, vocals\nJames Small\, drums\nJonah Levine\, keys

SUMMARY:Love After Dark: Velvet\, Fire\, Smoke ft. Courtney Knott\, James Small & Jonah Levine
DESCRIPTION:Turn down the lights and lean in. This Valentine’s Day weekend\, Black Cat sets the mood with a sultry\, genre-blurring night led by Courtney Knott\, James “StickNasty” Small\, and Jonah Levine: three artists whose chemistry\, groove\, and emotional depth are made for romance after dark. \nCourtney Knott\, a classically trained vocalist\, composer\, producer\, and multidisciplinary artist whose voice moves effortlessly between velvet-soft intimacy and cinematic power. A Berklee graduate who has performed everywhere from the White House to Boston Symphony Hall\, Knott brings a sensual\, otherworldly presence shaped by her work in music\, narrative\, and performance. Her sound is lush\, expressive\, and deeply felt and invites you to slow dance with the shadows. \nDriving the heartbeat of the night is James “StickNasty” Small\, an Oakland-based drummer\, producer\, and actor known for his unshakeable pocket and impeccable taste. A longtime collaborator of 3x Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito\, Small blends deep groove with restraint and intention\, creating rhythms that feel both primal and tender—the kind that keep bodies close and heads nodding all night long. \nRounding out the trio is Jonah Levine\, a composer\, producer\, and sonic architect whose work spans jazz\, soul\, hip-hop\, and global influences. With credits alongside Beyoncé\, Stevie Wonder\, Jay-Z\, Jhene Aiko\, and more\, Levine brings a romantic emotional palette shaped by themes of love\, loss\, and vulnerability. His playing is spacious\, textured\, and raw—perfectly tuned to Valentine’s energy. \nTogether\, these artists create an immersive late-night experience: sensual grooves\, lush harmonies\, and slow-burning improvisation designed for lovers\, friends\, and anyone craving connection.

SUMMARY:Alison Shearer Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Called “a force on the rise” by JazzTimes magazine\, Alison Shearer’s explosive career hits refresh on what it means to be a jazz saxophonist today. Shearer is the kind of artist who is always asking “why.” She wants to find the similarities between seemingly disparate things\, and in doing so hopefully find something human in everything. Shearer has performed across the United States\, Europe\, Canada\, and South Asia\, both with her quartet and as a member of Red Baraat and Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East. She has performed with notable artists such as Kurt Elling\, Nate Smith\, Charlie Hunter\, Ben Platt\, Billy Porter\, Kelly O’Hara\, Jason Robert Brown\, Josh Groban\, and the wonderful Orchestra of St. Luke’s. She has appeared on both NPR’s Tiny Desk and KEXP with Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East. \nAlison gathered her eponymous Quartet in 2015. She writes the group’s music\, and their soulful\, melodic take on fusion found immediate acclaim in New York City\, where the group got its start. Their first record\, View From Above\, was named one of NPR’s Top Ten Albums of the Year and was an Editor’s Choice in Jazz Times. Her most recent release In The Garden (Pinch Records) came out on October 10\, 2025 and was named a best October release by NPR\, which led to an interview with Alison Stewart on WNYC. \nAlison premiered her first ever chamber work for the classical stage in April 2024 to a sold-out audience at USCB Center for the Arts in Beaufort\, South Carolina. The piece\, “Apollosis”\, commissioned by USCB Chamber Music and written for alto saxophone and piano sextet\, got rave reviews and kicked off a flurry of engagements and additional commissions. In 2025 Alison got a record deal with Pinch Records and a second commission from USCB Chamber Music – this time for alto saxophone\, marimba\, piano\, and voice. ROCO Symphony in Houston Texas commissioned Shearer’s first orchestral work\, which will be a saxophone concert based on the abstract artwork of her late father\, acclaimed LIFE photojournalist\, John Shearer. The piece will be premiered at the opening of their 2026 – 2027 season. \nAlison is a passionate teacher and has maintained a private studio for 18 years. She is on faculty at the Jazz at Lincoln Center High School Jazz Academy and at Jazz House Kids\, where her work with young students fosters community building through jazz education. Alison is an endorsing artist with D’Addario Reeds. \nBand lineup:\nAlison Shearer\, saxes and flute\nKevin Bernstein\, keys\nMarty Kenney\, bass\nDiego Ramirez\, drums

She has performed with notable artists such as Kurt Elling\, Nate Smith\, Charlie Hunter\, Ben Platt\, Billy Porter\, Kelly O’Hara\, Jason Robert Brown\, Josh Groban\, and the wonderful Orchestra of St. Luke’s. She has appeared on both NPR’s Tiny Desk and KEXP with Sunny Jain’s Wild Wild East. \nAlison gathered her eponymous Quartet in 2015. She writes the group’s music\, and their soulful\, melodic take on fusion found immediate acclaim in New York City\, where the group got its start. Their first record\, View From Above\, was named one of NPR’s Top Ten Albums of the Year and was an Editor’s Choice in Jazz Times. Her most recent release In The Garden (Pinch Records) came out on October 10\, 2025 and was named a best October release by NPR\, which led to an interview with Alison Stewart on WNYC. \nAlison premiered her first ever chamber work for the classical stage in April 2024 to a sold-out audience at USCB Center for the Arts in Beaufort\, South Carolina. The piece\, “Apollosis”\, commissioned by USCB Chamber Music and written for alto saxophone and piano sextet\, got rave reviews and kicked off a flurry of engagements and additional commissions. In 2025 Alison got a record deal with Pinch Records and a second commission from USCB Chamber Music – this time for alto saxophone\, marimba\, piano\, and voice. ROCO Symphony in Houston Texas commissioned Shearer’s first orchestral work\, which will be a saxophone concert based on the abstract artwork of her late father\, acclaimed LIFE photojournalist\, John Shearer. The piece will be premiered at the opening of their 2026 – 2027 season. \nAlison is a passionate teacher and has maintained a private studio for 18 years. She is on faculty at the Jazz at Lincoln Center High School Jazz Academy and at Jazz House Kids\, where her work with young students fosters community building through jazz education. Alison is an endorsing artist with D’Addario Reeds. \nBand lineup:\nAlison Shearer\, saxes and flute\nKevin Bernstein\, keys\nMarty Kenney\, bass\nDiego Ramirez\, drums

SUMMARY:Etienne Charles Trio
DESCRIPTION:Trinidad born Etienne Charles is a performer\, composer and storyteller\, who is constantly searching for untold tales and sounds with which to tell them. His lush trumpet sound\, varied compositional textures and pulsating percussive grooves enable him to invoke trance\, soothing and exciting listeners while referencing touchy and sometimes controversial subjects in his music. Highlighting marginalized communities and engaging with them has been his mission\, evident with projects such as his Guggenheim Fellowship Project\, Carnival: The Sound of a People Vol. 1\, San Jose Suite\, Creole Soul\, Gullah Roots\, Folklore and his latest commission\, San Juan Hill – A New York Story. His concerts engage\, enlighten\, educate and enrich audiences with energized multidisciplinary performance utilizing original composition\, thematic improvisation\, dance\, short films and spoken word to create a holistic experience. A firm believer in music and performance as a tool for provoking thought and dialogue\, Charles’s themes speak to the status quo while drawing parallels to history. \nHis work is actively connecting the African diaspora and drawing lines to the regions at the roots of migrations\, evident in his latest release\, NAACP Image Award nominated Creole Orchestra which was named #1 Jazz album on Jazzweek’s top 100 of 2024 after spending 7 weeks at #1 on the chart in the summer. His dedication to music as a tool for social uplift has seen him named as a Laureate of the Arts and Letters\, Anthony N. Sabga Awards\, Caribbean Excellence (2025). He was conferred the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture (2024) and was awarded a Congressional Citation from the United States (2012). \nAs a sideman he has performed with and/or arranged for Roberta Flack\, Chucho Valdes\, Marcus Roberts\, Marcus Miller\, Count Basie Orchestra\, Frank Foster’s Loud Minority Big Band\, Monty Alexander\, Gregory Porter\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, René Marie\, David Rudder\, Machel Montano and many others.
