 LIVE Jazz. GREAT drinks. NO cover charge. BOOM!

This will be my first time performing with one of “my” groups at C Grace. Jason, Dan and I go back more than a few years, and have a lot of shared musical history between us.

Looking forward to it…come hear/see us!

Nnenna Freelon & Scott Sawyer – 9pm show

Nnenna and I go back to the late 1980’s…

…Brother Yusuf Salim was the connection. For several years we performed regularly as a duo, as well as with other musicians. When Nnenna signed with Columbia, I was there for the Blue Note showcase in NYC and subsequent Philip Morris Superband World Tour. On and off, I’ve continued through the years to record, perform and tour with her, here and abroad.

On Saturday Oct 22, there are two shows at the Sharp Nine Gallery, 7 and 9pm.

Ticket links are here (a limited number of tickets are available, advance purchase recommended):

7pm show — http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2599284
9pm show — http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2599290

Our last NC duo performances were almost 25 years ago (long-time fans may recall Pyewacket, Centerfest, Cappers, more). 

The Sharp Nine Gallery (Durham, NC) is a bona fide “listening room”, and seats only 66 people…this is not just a RARE opportunity to hear our duo, it’s a rare opportunity to see and hear Nnenna Freelon up-close in an intimate club setting.

*The Sharp Nine traditionally gives away some wine by the glass – while it lasts – and offers BYOB (no corkage fee) and free parking. For these shows, there may be other perks…TBA.
