“In the 1940s and 1950s” Williams said last week, “Jazz musicians from all over the country knew all the same songs, and could all play on the same level. They all could come together in a session and play  the same repertory. I’m excited about our upcoming session! We have a really good group.”
 
Among songs to be played by the Isaac Williams Ensemble will be “This I Dig of You” by Hank Mobley, “F.S.R.” (For Sonny Rollins) by Ray Brown, “Aeregin” by Sonny Rollins and first recorded by Miles Davis, “My Heart Stood Still”  by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, and “It could Happen to You”  by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen.

Coffee and Humans have done much to inspire and nourish the creative aspect of life…and Coffee houses became one of the first community-oriented spaces for people to meet, experience a variety of intellectual pursuits, and listen to the newest music of the time. AGAR and Second Stage continue this tradition in contemporary style. The Quantum Mechanics will take it to the Next Level with a new “interactive” tune titled “Summa-Shamanama”* by Ed Mikenas. It will have you smiling where you sit and dancing where you dare. In this performance, TQM will be brewing up more new works with a focus on changing your consciousness with a stream of musical goodness. You will hear the Blues, some BeBop, and a bit of Western Swing, all served up with original tunes by Ed Mikenas. 

*
Summa-Shamanama is a word to describe a feeling of happiness or excitement. It is generally used when other positive expressions do not first come to mind.
-
from the Urban Dictionary

Ken Matthews previously resided in Maryland and Northern Virginia where he headed his New Orleans jazz quartet “Laissez Foure” that played regularly in the Washington, DC, area for more than 12 years. Ken is originally from Lynchburg where he played in various EC Glass high school bands as well as while he attended Virginia Tech. Since moving back to Lynchburg, Ken has also opened a coffee shop in a small town in Colombia, South America, near the ancestral home of his mother.
 
The band’s title is a play on words; it’s a misspelling of the French phrase “Laissez Faire” meaning “Let It Be.” “Faire” has been replaced with “Foure,” which refers to four people in the band. Laissez Foure is always exciting and lots of fun! And Ken often invites different local area players to sit in with him.

LENNY MARCUS
LENNY MARCUS
Jazz Times Magazine has described Lenny Marcus’ music as “Infectious!” No wonder, since Lenny worked for many years in New Orleans studying and performing with legends such as Ray Bryant, Ellis Marsalis, and Alvin Batiste. He has a strong blues-oriented left hand, thanks to Bryant. Lenny possesses a superior melodic imagination and highly developed arranging and orchestration skills that become palpable throughout a diversity of styles-swinging, cool, sophisticated, Jazzified Beethoven masterpieces, Latin, toe-tapping, high energy as well as beautifully contemplative and engaging. This trio’s latest release is “When A Door Opens.”International famed players who have performed and recorded with LMT include Charlie Byrd, Herb Ellis, Frank Foster, Brian Lynch, David “ Fathead “ Newman (Ray Charles tenor), and Jane Powell. Lenny has performed in three New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest, Spoleto, Barbados, and Grenada Jazz festivals in addition to appearing four times in Wash DC at the famed Blues Alley with his trio. Lenny has most recently played for AGAR with Los Gatos.

For AGAR, Larry has previously played with Los Gatos, Lew Taylor Trio, and Chris Magee.

ZACHARY McDONALD
ZACHARY McDONALD of New Tripoli, PA, now a Baltimore, MD native, got his start as a jazz musician by playing with well-known artists in and around Roanoke, VA such as Cyrus Pace, Brian Mesko, and Lenny Marcus.
