Kareem Kandi with Ali Jackson play at the 1905

Two Shows - 6:00p and 8:15p

  • Kareem Kandi - Saxophone
  • George Colligan - Piano
  • Greg Feingold - Bass
  • Ali Jackson - Drums

Ali spent several years touring and recording with a diverse group of musicians before accepting the role of Drum Chair of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in 2005. Ali was the driving heartbeat of the big band, which was founded by Wynton Marsalis to bring together the world’s top jazz musicians on every instrument to showcase the music of Duke Ellington and other great composers and arrangers. As an integral part of the rhythm section, Ali’s playing helped define the sound of the JLCO and Wynton Marsalis for more than a decade and is documented in hundreds of recordings and videos of concerts that were witnessed by millions around the globe. Kareem is a versatile saxophonist and composer with strong roots in the traditions of Jazz, Blues, Classical and Funk, and has been performing throughout the U.S. and abroad for years, gaining attention from critics and audiences alike. While staying true to musical styles of the past, he also keeps an eye towards the future by composing original music as well as new arrangements of timeless songs from the great American songbook.

Late Show - Peter Knudsen and Lo Steele - 9:45p - $20 to $25

Pete Knudsen and Lo Steele, together as Pete ’n Lo, couldn’t be sweeter. With her inimitable lower range vocal prowess, Lo captivates her audience with ease as she pulls from her experience as both a singer/songwriter and accomplished actress. Pete’s dexterous and seasoned guitar work provides an earnest backdrop for the two as they weave stories through song.
