Jesse Autumn with Barry Phillips String Ensemble
Singer/pianist/harpist Jesse Autumn's rich, gorgeous and emotive songs come to life in this magical evening of music as she creates her first full-length album of original songs recording live at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Jesse's ethereal, soaring voice and piano-driven chamber/pop ballads will be joined this time by an ensemble of lush strings and horns, arranged by longtime collaborator, the extraordinary cellist and Grammy Award-winning producer Barry Phillips. Musicians include violinist Timba Harris (of Secret Chiefs 3, Estradasphere, Gyan Riley Trio), violist Chad Kaltinger (of San Francisco Quartet, Santa Cruz Symphony), trumpeter Mike Rawlinson (of Grandad Coyote, New Cadence) and some special surprise guests. Tickets $16 adv, $20 door. Advance tickets at brownpapertickets.com
