Pianist and organist Luke O’Reilly brings together a star-studded group to commemorate and celebrate Juneteenth.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day, and Emancipation Day – is a holiday celebrating the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States.

I Too Sing America is Luke O’Reilly’s newest recording. Of this new album, O’Reilly says, “My intention with this album is to convey the pain, the hurt and heartbreak that one goes through as a black man or woman living in America today. We are all too familiar with the new stories of black individuals who have been verbally, emotionally and physically abused by the police. This physical abuse too often leads to an unwarranted death. The tragedy continues when those who are responsible are left on punished, leaving families and communities without justice. My hope is that this music reminds us all, that black lives really do matter”.

Colombian native Luke Carlos O’Reilly is an award winning pianist whose musical career spans multiple genres. At an early age, O’Reilly was drawn to Jazz, Soul, R&B, Gospel, Latin Jazz, Classical and beyond. When he was four years old, he and his mother started taking group piano lessons together. By age ten he began to study the saxophone as well. It was the introduction of Oscar Peterson’s music at the age of fourteen that steered Luke in the direction of Jazz. Until then, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Earth, Wind and Fire and Otis Redding had been his heaviest influences.Through years of practicing and support from his family, Luke became well known on the music scene in the Boston area, where he spent most of his childhood. Before the age of 17, through his high school’s music program, Luke had been given the opportunity to play with Clark Terry, Joshua Redman, Walter Blanding, and Steve Turre, as well as to play on a 15 day tour in Europe. He also took part in several international music festivals at Berklee, IAJE, and University of New Hampshire as well as participating in All-District and All-State competition bands.

Art Sherrod Jr is “…a man who loves music, a man who loves art, respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart.” He is equal parts heart and soul and it seems as if God gave him an extra dose of expression through music. The influence of growing up in Texas created Art’s appreciation for many genres of music from Country & Western, to Rock N’ Roll, Rap, Hip-Hop, to Gospel and of course Jazz! It all began for Art in church sitting alongside his amazing mother who sang and played the B-3 organ and father who sang in the men’s chorus. It’s as if Art knew from the age of 5, his muse would be the saxophone and his avocation would be creating music that inspires, heals, praises, speaks to the soul, and makes us smile.

From Miles and Coltrane to the Brecker Brothers, the pairing of sax and trumpet defines great jazz and funk. Billboard artists Andrew Neu and Rob Zinn continue that tradition performing as A2Z.

“Nice groove… A To Z covers it all. Great tune, production and playing by all. Andrew Neu has a great tenor sound that is complimented by Rob Zinn’s fitness on the trumpet. Tight rhythm section brings it all home!” -Jeff Kashiwa

By blending a unique mix of jazz, R&B, classical and Latin music, Andrew Neu is one of the most exciting, multi-genre musicians today. He is well respected throughout the industry for his work as a saxophonist, woodwind player, arranger, composer, educator and recording artist.   

In 2016, veteran trumpeter and flugelhornist Rob Zinn launched an exciting new phase of his distinguished, multi-faceted career, emerging as an internationally recognized independent smooth jazz artist and composer with his critically acclaimed albums Walk The Walk (2018) and Yesterday Again (2016). Walk the Walk was selected for the 61st Grammy Ballot for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

With a voice as smooth as velvet, SAMARA JOY’s star seems to rise higher with each performance. After winning the 2019 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, she began recording her debut album, featuring Samara backed by the Pasquale Grasso Trio. 

Growing up in New York, music was a constant presence, due to the inspiration of her paternal grandparents, Elder Goldwire and Ruth McLendon, who led the well-known Philadelphia-based gospel group, The Savettes. Her father toured with the renowned Gospel artist Andrae Crouch, and her home was filled with the sounds of not only her father’s songs and songwriting process, but the inspiration of many Gospel and R&B artists

It was the kind of endorsement most rising guitarists can only dream of, and then some. In his interview for Vintage Guitar magazine’s February 2016 cover story, Pat Metheny was asked to name some younger musicians who’d impressed him. “The best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso,” said the jazz-guitar icon and NEA Jazz Master. “This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficult.”

Pasquale explores standards, ballads, and the repertoire of Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell and Charlie Parker, showcasing his sweeping abilities in the most intimate possible setting.
