Jewett Auditorium

Charenee Wade is an award-winning young American vocalist and educator currently making waves in both jazz and soul/R&B circles. This tribute honors Gil Scott-Heron, an important American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author whose collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of
jazz, blues, and soul, as well as social and political lyrics for conciseness. His music influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip-hop and neo soul.

Reservations recommended.
