The Durham Central Jazz “Workestra” is a visionary large ensemble that serves as a bridge between the storied history of Durham, North Carolina, and the future of Black American Music. Led by the master trombonist Robert Trowers and co-piloted by the globally acclaimed drummer, composer, and educator Jeremy "BEAN" Clemons, the Workestra is more than a big band—it is a cultural institution dedicated to the preservation and evolution of the Jazz tradition. #jazzconcert #livejazz #durhamjazzworkshop #durhamnc #durhamevents #jazzcommunity #chapelhillnc #carync #raleighnc #apexnc #trianglenc #jazzclub @TheDurhamCentralJazzWorkestra @roberttrowers @beanskie27

"...beautiful intensity exudes from the "chambersoul" of Shana Tucker, a singer-songwriter whose main instrument is the cello. Her original gumbo of jazz, folk and R&B evokes the spirit of Bill Withers and Esperanza Spalding." -- INDYWEEK Tikets: https://www.instantseats.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=buy.event&eventID=3A79091F-CA49-03AA-E549149FFE179553 Homecoming Birthday Celebration Join the Shana Tucker Quartet for an afternoon birthday celebration marking Shana’s first full-ensemble performance in Durham — the city she’s called “Home” for decades — since splitting time in Asheville, NC, and she’s bringing a few new ensemble members to the party.

Come celebrate a birthday, a new chapter, and a return home, through the music of Shana’s ChamberSoul! #jazzmusic #jazzconcert #livejazz #durhamjazzworkshop #durhamnc #durhamevents #jazzcommunity #chapelhillnc #carync #raleighnc #apexnc #trianglenc #jazzclub @shanatucker This performance is sponsored by Peggy Goodman
