BOSTON: ROY HARGROVE AT SCULLERS

Trumpeter Roy Hargrove will perform at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Friday & Saturday, January 30th & 31st with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Hargrove has firmly established himself as one of the premier players in jazz and beyond. Always looking for more challenging and colorful ways to flex his musical chops, Hargrove has left indelible imprints in a vast array of artful settings. His two Grammy awards have come in very different settings. His Cuban-based band Crisol (with piano legend Jesus "Chucho" Valdes and drummer Horatio "El Negro" Hernandez), won the Best Latin Jazz Performance Grammy in 1997, and 2002s Directions in Music (with Herbie Hancock and Michael Brecker) won Best Instrumental Jazz Album. Dinner/Show: $75 Show only: $35.

BOSTON: ATLAS SOUL AT THE REGATTABAR

Atlas Soul, a multiple award-winning band performing original music, will perform at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Saturday, January 31st at 8:00 pm. The band celebrates and blends spicy hot Afro-Mediterranean melodies and grooves with a generous dose of jazz, hip-hop, rock, and funk! Burning live performances with audience participation are their trademark! They have won or placed the Independent Music Awards four times - including the 2013 IMA vox poll in 2 categories - as well as winning accolades from many other music contests (too many to be listed here..) They have played scores of major venues such as The Montreal Jazz Festival, The Kennedy Center, The Festival International de Louisiane, the Boston Globe Jazz Festival, and more. They regularly sell out shows in the Boston area and beyond. Atlas Soul sings in French, Italian, Arabic, Hebrew and English, making their performances truly cross-cultural music experiences. The lyrics speak of love, ecology, oppression, happiness, immigration, poverty, and spicy food. The band has produced five CDs: Chamsa, Mabrouka, Maktoub, Live ay the Regattabar, and Gypsy Wind. Atlas Soul's motto, world music for world peace, spells out its philosophical and political goal: to inspire world peace through a fusion of music and culture that gets people to the dance floor.

TORONTO: BILL KING TRIO WITH SELENA EVANGELINE AND GAVIN HOPE

Pianist-composer-publisher Bill King, along with jazz vocalists Selena Evangeline and Gavin Hope will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, January 29th through 31st at 9:00 pm. King is a multi-talented individual whose recording and production credits include 'Live! In Session' by Liberty Silver; 'Magnolia Nights, Moment's Notice' by Bill King and the Jazz Report All-Stars, 'From The Heart' a tribute to piano great Oscar Peterson, 'East Side Symphony, The Night Passage Years' and most recently Bill King's Saturday Nite Fish Fry "Jump Shout Rock da House," The Rockit 88 Band's "Too Much Fun" and the King-Alleyne-Roth Trio's "It Might As Well Be Spring.". These projects highlight King's versatility as both a keyboardist and composer. Selena Evangeline is, without question, a world class singer. The sounds of Ella Fitzgerald, Chaka Khan, Prince and Stevie Wonder helped shape the musician she is today. As a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, her songs are musical snapshots of real life and emotions, from a real woman. Those "snapshots" helped to win her an Ontario Independent Music Award for Best Urban, Barrie New Music Award as well as honorable mention in the John Lennon Song Writing Competition. Her debut album "This Girl's Life" was featured on CTV's "Da Kink In My Hair" and her single "Lifesong"received heavy rotation on Canadian airwaves as well as MuchVibe and MTV1. Selena's second release, "Bad Weather", is a blend of R&B/Soul, Jazz, Pop, Funk and even a little classic sounding rock - a sound that she likes to call "Alternative R&B". Gavin Hope's career spans the stage, film, television and song. At 20, he joined Canadian pop a cappella sensation The Nylons, performing on four albums and touring with the group across Canada, Europe, Asia and South America. Gavin's lead vocal on the hit single "Love TKO" helped earn the group a Juno nomination for Best R&B Recording. Post Nylons, Gavin ventured back into professional theatre playing "Collins," the lead character in the Canadian company of RENT at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre, and later as "Simba" in the original Canadian company of The Lion King. Gavin recorded his debut solo album "Anything Like Mine" in the late 90's and scored multiple charted singles, as well as a second Juno nomination for Best R&B Recording. He has shared the stage with Shania Twain, Deborah Cox, Jill Scott, Nathalie Cole, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. His new solo album "For All We Know" is a vocal jazz influenced release produced by and featuring, Bill King on piano. There is a $15-$20 cover.
