Ever since boyhood, Jonathan Butler has been using his gifts of song, composition and instrumentation to communicate the messages of his soul. Butler, an acclaimed guitarist and vocalist, has used music as a springboard from that boyhood in which he shared a three-bedroom shack with his parents, 12 siblings, and another 13 nieces and nephews while growing up in South Africa. He remains a captivating and powerful performer, pour- ing his heart into selections from his immense catalogue. His soaring, gritty but beautiful voice transports listeners to deeper realms both emotionally and spiritually.
Saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Gerald Albright is one of the biggest stars of R&B, contemporary and straight-ahead jazz, one of the genre’s most compelling and consistent artists. He has earned the reputation as a “musician’s musician.” His signa- ture searing and soulful sax lines coupled with his ebullient ten- or, baritone and soprano saxophone arrangements give him a compelling stage presence.
