A performance of music for vibraphone and bass; Brandon Mitchell and Chris Mills will serenade you at the iconic Blue Note Grill. “An Evening of Vibes is a curated journey through the sonic evolution of the vibraphone, one of the most evocative yet under-explored instruments in the jazz tradition. While audiences are often familiar with the saxophone or piano, the vibraphone offers a unique intersection of percussion, harmony and lyricism. This program bridges that gap, blending a high-level performance with an educational narrative that traces the lineage of the instrument’s pioneers; from the rhythmic drive of Lionel Hampton and the soulful phrasing of Milt Jackson to the 4-mallet harmonic innovations of Gary Burton.” Music of Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Steve Swallow, Cal Tjader, Ray Brown and original music by Brandon Mitchell. Pay what you want, suggested donation at the door is $15.
