Lensic & New Mexico Jazz Festival
Ranky Tanky with Lisa Fischer
The soulful songs of the Gullah culture are brought to life by this band of native South Carolinians who mix the low country traditions with large doses of jazz, gospel, funk, and R&B. Grammy-winning powerhouse vocalist Lisa Fischer (20 Feet From Stardom) adds her remarkable versatility and wide-ranging vocal power.

Joshua Redman Group
Saxman Joshua Redman calls his Blue Note debut, where are we, “a meditation on America and the power and importance of place.” With mesmerizing vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa, they take on music from Rodgers & Hart to Springsteen, all interpreted with the improvisational brilliance and melodic invention that is a hallmark of Redman’s artistry.

Innovative, sophisticated, virtuosic, and totally unforgettable.
