An Evening with Christian Howes

Redstone Room

Wednesday, March 9, 7 p.m.

 

On March 9, Davenport’s Redstone Room will host a hugely acclaimed, virtuosic jazz violinist in “An Evening with Christian Howes.” In its 2011 critics’ poll, DownBeat magazine voted Howes number one in the category “Rising Stars/Violin.” DownBeat called his 2012 album Southern Exposure “a masterful journey.” DownBeat praised Howes’ musicality by writing, “Everything about the way he moves across each string seems to express another emotion.” That’s an awful lot of DownBeat for someone who makes listeners so darned happy.

Miguel Zenón Quartet

The Redstone Room

Sunday, February 21, 6 p.m.

 

Appearing locally in a special collaboration between Quad City Arts and Polyrhythms’ Third Sunday Jazz Series, the Miguel Zenón Quartet will be gracing the Redstone Room stage on Sunday, February 21. Gee, jazz saxophonist Zenón quickly became a world fave. That sentence is both true and my suggested replacement for “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” (That joke is strictly for the typists among you.)
