The JAZZ at Caffe Lena series is hosted by resident composer, pianist, and jazz master Chuck Lamb, with support from music producer Joel Moss. Each month, Lamb invites a top-flight jazz artist to join his trio on stage. Lamb, a member of the Brubeck Brothers Quartet since 2002, is not only an exciting and emotive pianist but also a prolific composer of jazz, fusion, classical, and world music. Through these collaborations, the artists stretch their creative boundaries, exploring new musical landscapes and creating spontaneous, exhilarating performances.
The show for May is the Chuck Lamb Trio, and Chuck's special guest, saxophonist and vocalist Camille Thurman.
Camille Thurman effortlessly pairs masterful saxophone artistry with a commanding vocal presence. A NAACP Image Award nominee and Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star, she is reshaping the landscape of modern jazz. Thurman made history as the first woman in 30 years to tour internationally with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and her performances have captivated audiences at some of the world’s most esteemed venues, including the Library of Congress. With a sound that bridges jazz tradition and forward-thinking innovation, she honors the greats while carving out her own distinct voice. As a composer, performer, and educator, Thurman is both a force on stage and a guiding influence for the next generation of musicians.
Pairing Camille Thurman with the Chuck Lamb Trio will bring an evening of fearless improvisation, fluid collaboration, and inspired jazz.
