BÉLA FLECK, EDMAR CASTAÑEDA, ANTONIO SANCHEZ TRIO
Banjo. Drums. Harp. Huh? To be sure, the new all-star trio of Béla Fleck, harpist Edmar Castañeda and drummer Antonio Sánchez features instrumentation that might safely be called uncommon. Unless, of course, you’re already familiar with 19-time Grammy-winner Fleck — the genre-blurring virtuoso who has done more to expand the possibilities of the banjo than any other player in the instrument’s history. From his bluegrass beginnings through his otherworldly Flecktones, his duo with Chick Corea and his reimagining of Rhapsody in Blue, Fleck’s work never fails to surprise. What doesn’t surprise is the impeccable caliber of his collaborators — and this new trio includes two of the most gifted musicians of their generation. The harpist, Castañeda, hails from Bogotá, Colombia, and has led his own bands in addition to sharing projects with such masters as Hiromi, Paquito D’Rivera and Grégoire Maret. 5-time Grammy-winner Sánchez grew up in Mexico City and built a reputation as one of the great jazz drummers through his work with guitarist Pat Metheny. He’s also been a visionary bandleader, helming progressive groups like Bad Hombre, and collaborated with Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Charlie Haden, Michael Brecker and other giants. His Golden Globe-nominated drum-set score for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s 2014 film Birdman earned him renown far outside the jazz world. Playing original repertoire, much of it collaboratively written, this trio embarks nightly on fearless explorations that audiences will find irresistible — rich with strong melodies, gorgeous harmony and grooves that twist and turn while feeling fantastic. _____________________________________________________________________________________ If you or a member of your party requires ADA seating, please call us at 417-863-9491 to reserve your seats.

MOJO – A Tribute to Sinatra & Basie: Live At The Sands featuring vocalist Jake Simpson
MOJO – A Tribute to Sinatra & Basie: Live At The Sands featuring vocalist Jake Simpson Frank Sinatra was at the peak of his talent in 1966 when he joined forces with Count Basie and his orchestra at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas to record an evening that yielded a number of signature arrangements. The Missouri Jazz Orchestra (MOJO) returns to the stage of the historic Gillioz with those musical arrangements in hand to recreate that evening, but they aren’t coming alone. MOJO is bringing featured vocalist Jake Simpson for the evening. Simpson twice (2003 and 2004) won the top honors in the Adult Singer category on CBS’s Star Search with his powerful high tenor voice and three-octave range. Growing up in Crocker, Missouri, making music has been one of the most important driving forces in Jake’s life. His sound has been influenced by Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Donny Hathaway and the classic style of Sam Cooke. Jake has recorded, written and performed with a multitude of artists including Grammy Award-winning songwriter Desmond Child, American Idol finalists David Archuleta, Syesha Mercado and Grammy Award-nominee Adam Lambert, NBC’s The Voice finalist Frenchie Davis, Vintage Trouble’s Ty Taylor, pianist Jim Brickman (national tour), Shoshana Bean, Matt Cusson, Grammy Award-nominee Taylor Dayne, Grammy Award-winner Paula Cole and most famously on The Oprah Winfrey Show with the legendary Stevie Wonder. Now Simpson takes up the role of “old blue eyes” with the preeminent performance orchestra in the state – It’s an evening guaranteed to make memories as MOJO and Jake Simpson pay homage to Sinatra & Basie – Live At The Sands!
