Step into an intimate live-recorded session with trumpeter Kenyatta Beasley, joined by an exceptional ensemble: Benny Green (piano), Joe Dyson (drums), Dezron Douglas (bass), Keith Loftis (tenor/soprano saxophone) and Melanie Charles (Vocal).

Kenyatta Beasley is a dynamic trumpeter, composer, and educator known for his commanding tone and work with leading voices in jazz, including the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. Benny Green is a master of the jazz piano tradition, celebrated for his deep swing and longtime presence alongside icons such as Art Blakey and Ray Brown. Joe Dyson is a highly sought-after drummer and bandleader whose playing is defined by precision, versatility, and a deeply musical approach to rhythm. Dezron Douglas is a renowned bassist with a rich, resonant sound, recognized for his work with artists including Pharoah Sanders and Ravi Coltrane. Keith Loftis is an expressive tenor saxophonist known for his wide-ranging musicality and distinctive voice across jazz and beyond. Melanie Charles is known for her unique blend of jazz, soul, and Haitian musical influences, bringing a fresh and expressive voice to contemporary music.

Together, this group brings a powerful convergence of experience, artistry, and improvisation — coming together for one night to create something immediate and unrepeatable.

This intimate in-studio performance will be recorded live by the engineers at The Bridge Studio, giving you the opportunity to witness and support the creation of new music as it unfolds in real time. Ticket holders will have an opportunity to enjoy freshly batched "Old Fashioned” cocktails sponsored by Fort Hamilton Distillery.
