Atlanta’s
own Kenny
Banks Jr., a
Yamaha artist, has earned a reputation as one of the most dynamic
jazz artists in the Southeast and
headlines
the November 13 concert. Noted for his distinctive technique of
blending jazz and gospel styles, Banks’s repertoire also includes
flavors of Afro-Cuban and hip-hop sounds gathered from performing and
recording around the world with a variety of artists.

 


A
brilliant solo artist, Banks is also a regular on tour with vocalist
Kurt Elling and vibraphonist Stefon Harris. He began playing the
piano at age seven, and in his training with his father, Kenny Banks
Sr., also a pianist, he learned the fundamentals of music theory,
jazz, and composition. Under the guidance of his mother, a church
music director, he found the church to be his first musical outlet.
In his career Kenny has performed and toured with such jazz
luminaries as Theo Croker, Darren English, Jennifer Holiday, Jazzmeia
Horn, and Kenny Lattimore. 


He
performs regularly in New York at jazz clubs and with the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra, and his artistry has enhanced numerous film
and television productions originating in Atlanta.

 


Known
for his “deeply embodied gospel and soul roots,” Kenny’s
“arrangements are thrilling, modern, and surprising.” Downbeat

On
Friday, February 12, jazz pianist Helen Sung and her quintet present
her Live
Wire Project.
Inspired by dialogues with Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientists and
examining the arts as a celebration of our brains during her jazz
residency at&nbsp;Columbia
University’s
prestigious Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute,&nbsp;Helen
Sung's&nbsp;Live
Wire&nbsp;Project
is music&nbsp;about
bird song, the electric dance of neurons, and the wonders of our
shared humanity.

 

Helen
Sung's Live
Wire Project
has been made possible with support from Chamber Music America’s
New Jazz Works program funded through the Doris Duke Charitable
Foundation.

 


Pianist,
composer, and a Guggenheim Fellow, Helen Sung has worked with such
luminaries as Clark Terry, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis and the
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Cecile McLorin Salvant, and the
Mingus Big Band. She currently serves on the faculties of the San
Francisco Conservatory of Music and Columbia University, where she
was the inaugural jazz artist-in-residence at its Zuckerman Institute
exploring intersections of jazz and neuroscience.

 


The
quintet includes piano, bass, drums, saxophone, and DJ.

 


“Sung
plays with crisp swing and elegant invention, her rhythms drawing
from the music’s deepest blues roots – and setting listeners’
heads bobbing – while she explores her own fresh ideas, often
inspired from her classical training.”

Maria.”
