The Nash Hosts Michael LeDonne Groover Quartet and More

14 year veteran from the famed "Smoke" jazz club in NYC, the Michael LeDonne Groover Quartet arrives on Jan. 11th at The Nash, highlighting a month of stellar concerts at the downtown Phoenix club. The new year will kick off with an array of jazz greats including trumpeter Jason Carder with West by Northwest on Jan. 12, and Francine Reed on Jan 9, as well as a new concept of dueling septets, "Sevens Run the Table" on Jan 18, in which two separate ensembles of The Nash Composer's Coalition premiere new compositions during each half of the program.

Preeminent jazz vocalist Sarah Elizabeth Charles comes to The Nash Jan. 20 to give a masterclass and discussion, prior to her concert at 3 pm. Charles will discuss the relationship between jazz and equality in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and in anticipation of Black History Month and Women's History Month.

She is an adjunct professor at The New School For Jazz & Contemporary Music where she has built a curriculum for her course, Jazz and Gender, in addition to her stellar career as one of the leading jazz vocalists on the scene today.

The Nash is located at 110 E. Roosevelt, in downtown Phoenix, on Roosevelt Row.
