SUMMARY:Sheila E. & The E-Train
DESCRIPTION:Sheila E. \n\nGuided by the forces of family\, faith\, and music\, Sheila E. has made a name for herself as one of the most talented musical icons over the decades. With a fearless nature and a passion for sharing her gifts with others\, Sheila truly follows the beat of her own drum. She touches the lives of so many\, with her dynamic music career at the heart of everything. Sheila’s eagerness to share her music\, openness as an author\, and fire for her ministry make her such a relatable\, inspirational figure for people of all ages. \nBorn into a musical family\, Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E.) has been driven by an inner rhythm her entire life. As a young girl\, she was immersed in the diverse music scenes of the Bay Area—influenced and inspired by her percussionist father Pete Escovedo; musical uncles Coke Escovedo\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Mario Escovedo\, and Javier Escovedo; and godfather Tito Puente. Growing up in the Escovedo household\, musical instruments were for everyone. “Nobody cared as long as you could keep time (or have a good time)\,” she writes in her memoir\, The Beat Of My Own Drum. \nAt the age of 5\, Sheila gave her first public performance for an audience of 3\,000\, appearing alongside her dad. It was while on that stage playing a drum solo that Sheila first realized she was going to be a percussionist. Five decades later\, and the beat that has always driven her is showing no signs of slowing down. The famous drummer\, singer\, songwriter\, author\, humanitarian\, and icon is following the beat of her own drum. She considers music to be the purest form of self-expression and the one true love of her life.

SUMMARY:José James presents 1978: Revenge of The Dragon
DESCRIPTION:Jose James\n\nJosé James is both conductor and conduit. Across 17 years as a singer\, songwriter\, bandleader\,\nand producer — not to mention co-head of the fearless Rainbow Blonde Records since 2018 —\nhe’s dived deep\, over and over again\, into genres\, eras\, scenes\, and songbooks\, exploring with\nthe verve of a reverent musicologist\, and then churning it all up with the confidence of a master\npractitioner. Blessed with a silken baritone that sounds classic against any backdrop\, James first\nturned heads on his 2008 debut The Dreamer by subtly swirling contemporary jazz with hip-hop\ninstrumentation. As it turned out\, mixing those two fluid\, frenetic\, and frequently time-travelling\nstrains set off a deeply soulful discography that knows no bounds. There was his stunning Blue\nNote breakthrough No Beginning No End (2013)\, recorded with fellow genre upsetters like Pino\nPalladino and Robert Glasper. There was an album of standards\, For All We Know (2010); the\nrock-addled While You Were Sleeping (2014); and that time he ditched the bands and became a\nmodern R&B star for Love in a Time of Madness (2017). He’s also taken a Method approach to\ncovers projects — even matching his wardrobe to his subjects’ worlds — like 2015’s Yesterday I\nHad the Blues (Billie Holiday)\, 2018’s Lean On Me (Bill Withers)\, and 2023’s On & On (Erykah\nBadu). He’s released dynamic live LPs\, a Christmas set\, and a four-album series inspired by\nhooky\, funky\, disco-dipped songcraft of the ’70s\, culminating in his latest\, 1978: Revenge of the\nDragon (2025). That last one is as immediate\, unpredictable\, and vibrant as anything James\nhas made\, affirming the mantra in the lead single’s title: “They Sleep\, We Grind.”

SUMMARY:Laura Karpman: Performs the American Fiction Score  w/ Elena Pinderhuges & Erika Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Laura Karpman: A Live Performance of the Score from American Fiction with Elena Pinderhuges and Erika Alexander \nAbout the Event\nAmerican Fiction Live is a unique\, multimedia format encompassing the intersection of filmmaking\, acting\, storytelling\, film scoring\, live performance\, and the best in jazz—all brought together for what promises to be a scintillating and eye-opening evening.\nOscar-nominated composer Laura Karpman\, acclaimed flutist and vocalist Elena Pinderhughes\, and actors John Ortiz and Erika Alexander come together with a band of jazz’s most accomplished musicians to illuminate the process of creating a jazz score for one of the 21st century’s most iconic films.\nAbout the Film\nAmerican Fiction emerged as one of 2023’s most celebrated works\, winning the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and earning widespread critical acclaim. Writer-director Cord Jefferson’s sharp\, satirical adaptation of Percival Everett’s novel Erasure offers a brilliant commentary on race\, identity\, and the commodification of Black stories in the publishing industry.\nThe film follows Thelonious “Monk” Ellison\, a frustrated novelist whose serious literary work is consistently overlooked. When he writes a satirical parody of stereotypical “Black” literature under a pseudonym\, it becomes a runaway success—forcing him to confront uncomfortable truths about art\, authenticity\, and what audiences expect from Black creators.\nAbout the Music\nLaura Karpman’s jazz-infused score became an integral part of the film’s identity\, perfectly capturing its sophisticated wit and emotional depth. The music breathes life into Monk’s internal world while underscoring the film’s sharp cultural commentary. Experiencing this score performed live\, while exploring the creative collaboration between composer\, musicians\, and actors\, offers a rare window into the artistry behind contemporary cinema.\nThis evening promises an unforgettable fusion of film\, performance\, and conversation—a celebration of artistic excellence and the power of jazz to tell complex\, modern stories. \nBand:\nElena Pinderhughes\, Flute\,\nMeredith Ezinma \, violin\,\nKeyon Harrold- trumpet\nJavier Santiago- piano\nJonathan Pinson- drums\nJermaine Paul – bass \n
