satellite as part of their Distance Learning
Program. Cross That River is now a fullscale musical that has played to rave
reviews. Harris’ latest album, Black Bar
Jukebox, debuted at Dizzy’s Club CocaCola and has received audience and critical
acclaim since its official release in 2015.
Allan Harris
Allan Harris (Host) is a world-class singer,
guitarist, and songwriter, perhaps best
known for his interpretations of jazz standards. Harris’ smooth vocals and guitarstylings easily cross genres, from jazz to
rock to blues. Tony Bennett has called
Harris “my favorite singer,” and the New
York Times raved about “the protean
talent that is Allan Harris.” Harris has cultivated
an
international
following
throughout the United States, Europe,
Russia, and the Far East. He is a threetime winner of the New York Nightlife
Award for Outstanding Jazz Vocalist.
Harris grew up in Brooklyn, surrounded by
musicians, before moving to Pittsburgh as
a teenager. While his guitar style was influenced by rock, his voice was always most
comfortable singing the American
Songbook. Harris moved to Atlanta and
then to Miami, where he first met Tony
Bennett, who encouraged him to return to
New York in 1991. Harris has since been a
featured soloist and producer of a threeyear jazz series at Sotheby’s, where he first
teamed up with Tommy Flanagan. He has
paid tribute to Nat “King” Cole at the
Kennedy Center, where he recorded Long
Live the King (2007). In 2007 Harris was
awarded the Chamber Music of America
Residency Grant for his Cross That River
project, which toured 12 schools in
Harlem. Since then, the Cross That River
Band has performed in schools across the
country, from Savannah, GA to San Angelo,
TX. The Kennedy Center broadcast the per-
Harris is a long-time supporter of the St.
Mary’s Children’s Hospital, Guitars in the
Classroom, and Challenge Aspen/America.
As a Gibson Guitar featured artist, Harris
and Ruby (his constant canine companion
and the first dog music critic) are frequently
found rehearsing at the Gibson Hit Factory
and with The Allan Harris Band. Harris
continues to play the top music clubs in
New York City and tour around the world.

Meet the Artists
Kenny Washington
Kenny Washington (Vocals), a native of
New Orleans, developed a deep love for
music at a young age and grew up singing
and performing gospel music in church. He
played saxophone and sang with the
school band, and after graduating from
high school he continued his studies in
music at Xavier University. While at Xavier,
he studied styles of music ranging from traditional and contemporary jazz to classical,
rhythm and blues, and pop. Joining the
honorary U.S. Navy Band in 1986,
Washington performed and toured
throughout the U.S. and in Asia, Russia,
and Australia. After nine years as a musician in the U.S. Navy, Kenny moved to the
San Francisco Bay Area, where he began
performing and recording in various jazz
clubs with other well known artists. He
appeared in Roy Nathanson’s off-Broadway
Jazz at Lincoln Center

production of Fire at Keaton’s Bar and Grill,
with Elvis Costello and Deborah Harry, in
London and New York. Washington was
the featured vocalist at San Francisco’s
world
famous
Mark
Hopkins
Intercontinental Hotel’s Top of the Mark for
eight years. Washington is the featured
vocalist on saxophonist Michael O’Neill’s
albums The Long and the Short of It and
Still Dancin’. Washington is also one of the
featured vocalists on the Slammin’ All Body
Band album with Keith Terry. Washington is
a jazz vocalist virtuoso, with a range that
exceeds four octaves, who emulates the
classic styles of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah
Vaughan, while infusing colors of Stevie
Wonder and Donny Hathaway in a free,
playful approach. A truly versatile artist, he
is at home with both the blues and jazz,
from liquid ballads to rapid-fire scatting.
Andy Farber &
His Orchestra
Andy Farber & His Orchestra is one of New
York City’s finest jazz orchestras, and they
hold a regular seasonal gig at Birdland for a
majority of the year. The hot and swinging
orchestra regularly features vocalists Hillary
Kole and Jerry Costanzo. Andy Farber, born
in Huntington, Long Island, grew up playing
music and listening to Art Blakey, Miles
Davis, and Charlie Parker. At age ten, he
studied with Budd Johnson, Chris Woods,
and Dave Burns at jazz workshops, and at
13 he studied classical oboe and jazz saxophone at the Usdan Center for the Arts.
Farber auditioned for Branford Marsalis
when he was 17 years old and was
accepted into the Tri-State McDonalds’ Jazz
Ensemble, leading to performances with
artists like Marsalis, Randy Brecker, and
Steve Turre. Farber studied jazz composition at the Manhattan School of Music
while also playing in David Berger’s Big
Band and leading his own Hard Bop
Repertory Company, a quintet that grew
into the 15-piece Andy Farber & his
Orchestra. They regularly performed original compositions at the West End Gate.
In 1993 Farber collaborated on Jon
Hendricks’ Boppin’ at the Blue Note, for
which Farber wrote arrangements that
included Hendricks and guests Al Grey,
Wynton Marsalis, Benny Golson, Red
Holloway, and Clark Terry. For the next
three years, Farber served as music director, saxophonist, and arranger for the Jon
Hendricks Explosion, which performed
extensively. Farber then joined the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton
Marsalis on tenor saxophone. Since 1997,
he has been freelancing as a saxophonist,
arranger, and conductor for people like
Wynton Marsalis, Jon Hendricks, Shirley
Horn, Bobby Short, Ann Hampton Calloway,
Frankie Laine, Alan Harris, Cynthia Scott,
Billy Stritch, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Bob
Dylan, Vanessa Williams, and Roseanna
Vitro. Farber’s arrangements have been performed by The Boston Pops Orchestra, the
Philly Pops Orchestra, the Boca Pops
Orchestra, and several symphony orchestras throughout Europe. He has been a
guest conductor of the Jazz at Lincoln
Center Orchestra, and in 2004 he made
his symphonic conducting debut with the
Bronx Arts Ensemble. In 1998 Farber released his debut album, Double A, with partner Andrew Williams, on After 9 Records.
As a reedman, Farber has worked with the
Duke Ellington Orchestra, Count Basie
Orchestra, Artie Shaw Band, Harry James
Band, Illinois Jacquet Big Band, Vince
Giordano’s Nighthawks, Bob Dorough,
Marcus Roberts, Bobby Short, The Onyx
Jazz at Lincoln Center
Club Sextet, and more. He currently leads
Andy Farber & his Swing Mavens, a ninepiece ensemble fronted by jazz vocalist
Jerry Costanzo that performs Farber’s
arrangements and compositions in addition
to standards. The band can be heard on
Farber’s latest release, Bluesectomy (NJR
Records), and at gigs around New York and
the East Coast. Farber also composes and
produces music for television and film at
Duotone Audio Group.

Monty Alexander & Friends: Sinatra at 100
With Kurt Elling
February 12–13 at 8pm
At 17 years old, a serendipitous encounter with
Frank Sinatra and his pal Jilly Rizzo changed the trajectory of pianist Monty Alexander’s career forever:
Alexander would soon become the house pianist
for the famed Jilly’s club in New York City and
develop a unique relationship with its most famous
patron: Frank Sinatra. With the help of Grammy
Award–winning and DownBeat Critics Poll-dominating singer Kurt Elling, he will share stories from a
treasured and rare perspective. A masterful pianist,
Alexander’s career spans five decades and includes
collaborations with some of the most important figures in jazz and an illustrious recording career as a
leader. This Valentine’s weekend treat is sure to satisfy both nostalgic and contemporary tastes.
Christian McBride/Henry Butler, Steven
Bernstein & The Hot 9
February 26–27, 2016 at 8pm
Two world-class bands explore the relationship
between jazz and American popular song. The
double bill is headlined by bassist Christian
McBride. The master musician has appeared on
over 300 recordings and is considered one of the
most accomplished bassists alive. Now a leader of
his own Grammy Award-winning Big Band, featuring a staggering and diverse lineup of top musicians, McBride simultaneously shows off his compositional talent and unmatched ability to drive
a band. The other portion of the concert features
Henry Butler, Steven Bernstein & The Hot 9,
featuring New Orleans piano virtuoso Henry
Butler. Described by the New York Times as “both
historically aware and fully prepared to cut loose,”
this exhilarating group introduces the hot jazz of
years past to the endless possibilities of the modern jazz landscape.
Free pre-concert discussion nightly at 7pm.
THE APPEL ROOM
Cécile McLorin Salvant
February 12–14 at 7pm & 9:30pm
It doesn’t get more perfect than singer Cécile
McLorin Salvant for a Valentine’s Day–inspired
performance. An innovative singer with extraordinary soul, intuition, and deep character, Salvant is
the next great jazz vocalist in the lineage of Ella
Fitzgerald, Betty Carter, and Dianne Reeves. The
2010 Thelonious Monk International Vocal
Competition winner and 2014 and 2016 Grammy
Award nominee has become a Jazz at Lincoln
Center regular, and her growing reputation for
having an exceptional command of diverse and
challenging repertoire will serve audiences well
for this romance-laden occasion.

THE APPEL ROOM
Moonglow: The Magic of Benny Goodman
March 4–5 at 7pm & 9:30pm
The story of jazz’s first popular integrated band is
told by scriptwriter and seven-time Emmy Awardwinner Geoffrey Ward (Ken Burns’ Jazz), narrated
live by host Wendell Pierce (HBO’s Treme and
The Wire), and performed by an ensemble of
pianist Christian Sands (in the role of Teddy
Wilson), drummer Sammy Miller (Gene Krupa),
20-year-old vibraphone sensation Joel Ross
(Lionel Hampton), and a host of special guest clarinetists. Peter Anderson, Will Anderson, Patrick
Bartley, and Janelle Reichman each take a turn
representing the unparalleled voice of Benny
Goodman. These unique and informative performances will feature live music and spoken word
as informative, inspiring, and emotionally stirring
joint crafts as they channel the “King of Swing”
and tell the story of his groundbreaking band.
