Big Band at Clements Place DESCRIPTION:This full sixteen piece big band performs compositions and arrangements by Lance and occasionally arrangements of his colleagues. Lance has been arranging for other artists and bands for over twenty five years\, starting with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. “Lionel Hampton always encouraged me to keep writing\,” Lance says of the iconic Jazz legend. “I found that when commissioned to write for artists or band leaders there was often some level of restrictions or parameters to adhere to.” That was until Lance was commissioned to write a program of arrangements to be performed live by vocalist Carla Cook and the NDR Big Band in Hamburg\, Germany in 2002. Given ample freedom to create by Carla\, Lance wrote nine arrangements forr the program. “I was so pleased with the results\, I never forgot that feeling.” In the Spring of 2022 Lance finally decided to start his own band. “For me there’s nothing like that range of power and expression we can achieve with sixteen great musicians. Not to mention the sense of community and family that we enjoy working as a big band.” URL:https://gregoryburrusproductions.com/event/lance-bryant-shout-big-band-at-clements-place/ LOCATION:Clements Place Jazz IJS – Ruth Bader Ginsburg Building\, 15 Washington Street\, Newark\, NJ\, United States CATEGORIES:Jazz,Live Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gregoryburrusproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/LanceBryantandSHOUT21-e1697074642255.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231013T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231013T220000 DTSTAMP:20231012T010039Z CREATED:20231011T041130Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231012T010039Z UID:10000421-1697225400-1697234400@gregoryburrusproductions.com SUMMARY:Cecilia Tenconi's Latin Jazz Quintet at Clements Place Jazz DESCRIPTION:Monthly Jazz series sponsored by Rutgers Newark\, Institute of Jazz Studies\, honoring the legacy of Dr. Clement Price Newark’s city historian and devoted jazz fan.

We are proud to present the Jacquie Lee at the Downtown Cranford Clock. In 2019 at Garfield Middle school Jacquie\, who has been playing Violin for 11 years\, received Jazz Soloist Downbeat Student Music Award for an Outstanding Performance. Jacquie has also been a member of Jazz House Kids and is a member of a family of musicians which has truly helped her honed her musicianship.

I idolized her for a long time. We had family connections\, and I would get to do private lessons and group lessons with her. She’s so incredible and a very\, very nice person.” \n\n\n\nLee\, now 17\, has actually been playing violin since she was two years old. “I don’t think I had much choice in the matter\,” she said. Her mother Rebecca is a classical violinist; her father Mike is a jazz tenor saxophonist. “My mom started both of my brothers and me on the violin\,” she explained\, “because she believed it was important for all of us to get a grasp of music. In the early part of my life\, I was very strongly averse to playing jazz because both of my brothers did it\, and my dad did it.” Her brother Julian (27) is a saxophonist and her brother Matt (21) is a drummer. “Then\,” she continued\, “I got to that age where I really wanted to be like my brothers.” \n\n\n\nIn her freshman year at Montclair High School\, “Covid happened. I was 14\, and that’s when my dad stopped working every night. Covid was terrible for a lot of people and for us as well\, but my dad could put a lot of focus into helping me practice and stuff. It was amazing to go downstairs and practice with him for two hours.” \n\n\n\nThis article previously appeared in Jersey Jazz Magazine.
