Event Description

LAURA ROTH & HUI COX - ALL THAT JAZZ


Thursday, October 19th


 


The 2017 season closes with a night of both Old and New Jazz and Blues brought to the 801 Stage by two exceptional entertainers:  Laura Roth & Hui Cox. 


 


Although Laura and Hui have separately performed a variety of musical genre, they have each come home to their deepest musical love, jazz. This evening they will explore the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Chaka Kahn, Chick Correa, Sting, Gershwin, and others. Such diversity is possible, they believe, because virtually any song played with a unique approach and freedom can become jazz.


Hui will back Laura in special arrangements as he plays electric, acoustic, classical, 7-string guitar, mandolin, and electric bass, from his lifetime collection of nearly thirty stringed instruments.


Adding to the mood, Kahlil Kwame Bell, whose sensitivity on percussion and drums has been called upon by Wynton and Branford Marsalis, Prince, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack and many, many others.


 


 


Laura Roth, described as “the show stopper” by the New York Post,” is a recognized nightclub vocalist whose power, versatility and sincerity have touched thousands at major casino hotels, resorts, and theaters throughout the country. Her amazing range has placed her before both symphony orchestras and big bands. Laura is fully devoted to her life-long love of jazz, as it is her deepest musical connection and influence.  



 


 


Hui Cox, is a renown Multi-instrumentalist performer and Grammy nominee. He has worked with Cab Calloway, Odetta, Liza Minnelli, Melba Moore, Wilson Pickett, Richie Havens (as composer and producer), The Temptations, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and was composer-in-residence with the Tacoma City Ballet in Washington. Hui was a  recipient of two grants for composition from the National Endowment for the Arts and has produced music for Walt Disney Productions as well as the country charts.
