THE ARTISTS

Warren Hill & Norman Brown:

With a career now in its 3rd decade, Saxophonist, Warren Hill’s solo CD's and collaborations have topped three different charts: Pop, AC and Smooth Jazz, selling over a million copies worldwide and garnering multiple awards. Hill has recorded a new CD entitled "Under the Influence." The CD is a collection of classic rock covers from the 70’s featuring hits from iconic bands such as Aerosmith, Queen, and The Police.  Warren Hill is revisiting his roots applying his dynamic style of sax to songs that influenced his musical upbringing. His incredibly dynamic live show has brought him to over 25 countries performing over 1,500 shows. 

Highly sought after Grammy-winning guitarist, Norman Brown has made a career of churning out good music for over two decades. His unique elixir of urban contemporary jazz has allowed him to garner a devoted international following and an impressive career as a leader.  “Let It Go” is his first solo album in five years.  This release is a sonic canvas of 12 mostly original soul-stirring and thought-provoking compositions that celebrate the spiritual and personal journey within each of us.

The Rippingtons featuring Russ Freeman:

Join us for the Grammy-nominated contemporary jazz group, The Rippingtons, founded by guitarist and composer Russ Freeman. Under Freeman's production, the group has released 22 albums, all of which have attained top 5 Billboard status, with 5 of them reaching #1. The band has enjoyed tremendous success from the beginning, with their groundbreaking debut album “Moonlighting,” which Jazziz Magazine voted to be the #1 Most Influential Contemporary Jazz Album of all time. The Rippingtons have had several number one Billboard-charting albums, and have also won several Oasis Awards, including Group of The Year by the Oasis Awards in 2001 and 2002, as well as Achievement in Video, 1999. An awesome concert to attend in the intimate setting of the Studio Theatre.
