Earth, Wind & Fire Tribute Concert

SATURDAY, AUGUST 31ST.  Do you remember….the twenty-first night of
September?  Here’s your chance to get your jazz-funk-disco-soul groove on,
accompanied by some of the hottest musicians around.  Bandleader and
keyboard virtuoso Al Smith pulls out all of the stops in this one-night-only
tribute to one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the twentieth century: 
Earth, Wind & Fire!



Al Smith’s piano expertise transcends his jazz beginnings to
an eclectic ensemble of styles and genres. That’s why his repertoire of
accompaniments is diverse and deep, including the likes of Gloria Gaynor,
Jennifer Holliday, Mandy Moore, saxophonist Kim Waters, Maysa Leak of
Incognito, the late great saxophonist George Howard, R&B artist Brian
McKnight, Will Downing, Usher, Kenny Lattimore, Goody Mob and Ken Ford (just to
name a few). And Al continues to delight the ears of vocalists, fellow
musicians and listeners with his musical mastery of rhythm, melody and sound.



Additional members of the ensemble include smokin’ hot
Melvin Jones on trumpet and Robin Latimore on vocals.  Tickets available at 855.5.VELVET or at
