MOJO in Concert
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!

In its virtually uninterrupted three-plus decades of existence, the Quartet has established a rare breadth of stylistic range as demonstrated on the band’s latest release: The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul. But Branford has not confined his music to the jazz quartet context. A frequent soloist with classical ensembles, Branford has become increasingly sought after as a featured soloist with acclaimed orchestras around the world, performing works by composers such as Copeland, Debussy, Glazunov, Ibert, Mahler, Milhaud, Rorem, Vaughan Williams and Villa-Lobos. And his legendary guest performances with the Grateful Dead and collaborations with Sting have made him a fan favorite in the pop arena.His work on Broadway has garnered a Drama Desk Award and Tony nominations for the acclaimed revivals of Children of a Lesser God, Fences, and A Raisin in the Sun. He received an EMMY nomination for composing the music for the History Channel’s documentary, Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre.

The Headhunters
![The Headhunters 7 The 405881685354856](https://gillioztheatre.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/The_405881685354856-1024x746.jpeg)
Few bands can boast a history as fortuitous and storied as The Headhunters. That history began back in 1973 when iconic musician Herbie Hancock formed the Headhunters – saxophonist/clarinetist Bennie Maupin, bassist Paul Jackson Jr., drummer Harvey Mason, and percussionist Bill Summers. What each member of the Headhunters brought to the table helped forge a timeless legacy and history that most bands can only dream of. Their blend of jazz with funk and rock reached millions of fans of jazz, rock, funk, and R&B alike. With over a million albums sold, the band’s legacy would inspire musicians of every genre for years to come, be sampled by various rap artists throughout the ’80s and ’90s, and influence countless musicians’ styles of playing today. The Headhunters’ impact remains a global phenomenon, and their time with Hancock proved to be a life changing experience. The band has released 6 more full length albums including “Thrust” in 1974 with the addition of drummer Mike Clark, struck out on their own in 1975, without Hancock’s involvement, on “Survival of the Fittest” and on “Straight from the Gate” in 1977. After a twenty year hiatus they reunited in 1998 with Hancock for the Verve album “Return of the Headhunters” with Clark, Jackson, and Summers performing as the Headhunters actively touring until the March 2021 passing of Jackson. In addition to original members Clark and Summers, the line up of the band consists of Chris Severin on bass, Donald Harrison on saxophone and Kyle Roussel on piano.
