SAGE All-Women Jazz & Blues Super Group Concert
There comes a time when all the elements of excellence converge under the same domain and produce an incomparable result, never before experienced. SAGE, the all-women’s jazz, blues and contemporary ensemble, has dared to rise to this historic place in music with a sound that transcends time and generation. Part contemporary, part sassy, part nostalgic, these ladies deliver what every music audience is looking for, the best in the art.
Style, beauty and musicianship are the trademarks of this one of a kind ensemble, which has no limits on repertoire and vision. Mala Waldron, pianist and principal vocalist with the group, is equally masterful on jazz standards as she is with R&B contemporaries and the blues. Kersten Stevens, a bright young talent currently studying at Yale University, has taken jazz violin to a new dimension by infusing elements of hip-hop and gospel overtones creating an event with every song. Bassist Miriam Sullivan brings depth and virtuosity to the unique voice of this sextet with inspired statements and tones on the upright that flow and surge improvisationally and melodically. Delivering the rhythm like no one else can is premier drummer Bernice Brooks who guides the group with a pulse and downbeat seldom heard and always applauded.
