WASHINGTON, DC: CHRIS THOMAS KING AT BLUES ALLEY

Chris Thomas King, a New Orleans Grammy Award-winning musician and actor, will perform at BLUES ALLEY 1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Thursday through Sunday, August 28th through 31st with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. King is initially known for his audacious fusion of blues and hip-hop. King reached a whole new audience with his film debut in the Coen Brothers film, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, not only appearing on the award-winning soundtrack, but establishing himself as a serious dramatic actor as well. Chris Thomas King has been a determined progressive, hoping to reinvigorate the blues as a living African American art with a more contemporary approach and adamantly refusing to treat it as a museum piece whose "authentic" forms needed careful preservation. King eventually modified that approach to a certain degree, attempting to create a more explicit link between blues tradition and the general musical present. Call for cover/minimum information.

WASHINGTON, DC: REGINALD CYNTJE'S SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Trombonist Reginald Cyntje's Spiritual Awakening will be presented atBOHEMIAN CAVERNS (2001 Eleventh Street N.W., Washington, DC - 202-299-0800 - ) on Friday & Saturday, August 29th & 30th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm.

Born on the island of Dominica and raised on St. Thomas, USVI, trombonist Reginald Cyntje has been mixing cultural heritage with Black American Music since the beginning of his formative years. Growing up in the US Virgin Islands, he was steeped in the rich cultural music known as Quelbe (the official music of the USVI). Quelbe was Reginald's introduction to improvised music. One of his favorite Quelbe songs, Queen Mary, has a powerful message set to syncopated rhythm. In 2013, Cyntje released his sophomore album simply titled Love. After debuting at #3 on the CMJ Jazz chart, Love made it to #10 on the CMJ Top 40 Jazz Chart. The album is a tribute to the human spirit. On April 22, 2014 (Earth Day), Reginald Cyntje released his third album Elements of Life featuring pianist Allyn Johnson, bassist Herman Burney, drummer Amin Gumbs, vocalist Christie Dashiell, steel pannist Victor Provost and saxophonist Brian Settles. The album explores the connection between the human being and the elements that nurture us. There is a $20 cover.

BETHESDA, MD: JANIVA MAGNESS "ORIGINAL" ALBUM RELEASE TOUR

The Janiva Magness "Original" Album Release Tour featuring special guest Bobby Radcliff will be presented at BETHESDA BLUES & JAZZ SUPPER CLUB (7719 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD - 240-330-4500 - ) on Friday, August 29th at 8:00 pm. Janiva Magness' new album Original stretches the artistic boundaries of roots, rock and soul music. Its 11 songs seamlessly weave all three genres into a highly original approach defined by nakedly honest storytelling and the live-wire emotionalism of Magness' two-and-a-half octave range, buoyed by arrangements that effortlessly blend traditional sounds with edgy experimentation. Magness had much to overcome in making this adventurous album. But Original finds the Los Angeles-based artist undefeated - turning in her finest recorded vocal performances, co-writing a majority of tracks for the first time and testing herself by taking risks along with her production foil Dave Darling, whose credits include Glen Campbell, Brian Setzer, Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx and Stray Cats, and whose instincts compelled Magness to tap her deepest creative powers and led the songs to sonically unpredictable places. There is a $25 cover.
