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. Courtney 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. Driving 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. Rounding 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. Together\, 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. Band Lineup: Courtney Knott\, vocals James Small\, drums Jonah Levine\, keys

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

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

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. He has been commissioned as a composer and arranger by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (2025)\, Lincoln Center for the New York Philharmonic (2021)\, Savannah Music Festival (2017)\, Chamber Music America (2015 & 2021)\, the Charleston Jazz Orchestra (2012)\, the Chicago Jazz Ensemble (2011) and the Danish Radio Big Band (2025) \nHe currently serves as Professor of Studio Music and Jazz at University of Miami Frost School of Music \nBand lineup:\nEtienne Charles\, trumpet\nMikailo Kasha\, bass\nMiles Turk\, drums

SUMMARY:Jezebel: Rewritten
DESCRIPTION:Rabiah Kabir is a Jazz flute player who uses her instrument\, skill in storytelling and unique style to bend the expectations of what “Jazz” music really is. \nBorn and raised in the East Bay\, Rabiah draws from her lived experience as a mixed Black woman to create music that is meditative\, contemplative and conceptual. For her\, musical memory begins in the kitchen\, with her dad playing the sounds of Charles Mingus\, Phillip Glass\, Erik B. & Rakim\, Dead Can Dance\, Toots and the Maytals\, Compay Segundo and Natacha Atlas (to name a few)\, as he cooked dinner in their Berkeley home. \nAs she dived into the Bay Area Jazz scene\, she noticed how few women surrounded her\, a problem that has plagued Jazz since its inception at the turn of the 20th century. Her debut album\, “Jezebel: Rewritten” and related Honors Thesis paper from Stanford University\, “The Jezebel Flute”\, explores themes of Black womanhood and feminism\, a core part of Jazz history often overlooked. She hopes the project carves a new place for scholarship surrounding flute players\, power and Black feminist artistic expression. Her thesis\, winner of the 2025 Stanford University George Fredrickson award\, is published on Stanford’s Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity department page. The album\,“Jezebel: Rewritten” is available for streaming on October 24\, 2025. \nRabiah has had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with artists like Murray Low\, Zheniia\, José Andrés\, Taleen\, Jesús Díaz and Edgardo Cambon. She is unbelievably grateful for the vibrant and diverse musical community of the Bay Area and strives to celebrate its influence in her music. \nBand Lineup:\nRabiah Kabir: Flute\nEthan Buck: Alto Saxophone\nJaycie Grady: Drums\nLeela Paymai: Bass\nJulain Lopez: Piano\nNathan Sariowan: Violin\nWesley Larlab: Guest Piano feature

SUMMARY:BIG TRIPPIN
DESCRIPTION:Launched by bassist Giulio Xavier Cetto and former Mars Volta/Thundercat drummer Thomas Pridgen\, Big Trippin is a California-based improvisation-laced vehicle for exploring state-of-the-art grooves. \nWhile the band mainly performs as an instrumental quartet including alto saxophonist John Palowitch and pianist Javier Santiago\, they are known for surprise “collective” shows utilizing California’s most talented artists\, including emcees\, vocalists\, and instrumentalists alike. These vibe masters specialize in getting a party started and keeping the energy bumping for improvisers\, MC’s and dancers alike.\nEncompassing rock\, hip hop\, funk and jazz\, the collective is built on the loose and limber rhythm section tandem of Cetto and Pridgen\, players recognized internationally as contemporary music standard bearers. \nFor this show\, Big Trippin will play in its original form: a raw instrumental quartet\, delivering original music and arrangements with searing fusion melodies expertly placed over house and hip hop-inspired grooves. A night not to miss from one of the US’s most promising up-and-coming jazz groups. \nJohn Palowitch – saxophone\nJavier Santiago – keys\nGiulio Xavier Cetto – bass\nThomas Pridgen – drums
