LURAY — The Rebecca J. Graves Center for the Performing Arts is proud to present the Stephanie Nakasian Quartet at 7:30pm. on Saturday, January 27.
Stephanie Nakasian is an exciting, well-seasoned vocalist and master of innovative jazz improvisation, completely authentic with a fresh and vibrant sound all her own.
Known as one of the world’s leading jazz vocalists, Stephanie will take you on a fantasy musical voyage that transcends the Great Ladies of Song in genre, tribute and originality. Capturing the heart of audiences with her extensive repertoire, reaching from Jazz to Classic Rock, Pop and Cabaret, Stephanie creates an atmosphere of romance and excitement that will transport you to another place and time.
A prolific recording artist with 15 celebrated albums, including her acclaimed “Show me the Way” and special tribute to Billie Holiday “Billie Remembered” which was featured on NPR’s “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross, Stephanie continues to perform live and is dedicated to inspiring “next generation” artists through her writings, guest speaker appearances and participatory vocal training courses and improv workshops.
Concert appearances as a featured artist include performances with Urbie Green, Pat Metheny, Bobby McFerrin, Milt Hinton, Clark Terry, J.R. Monterose, Joe Temperly, Scott Hamilton, Harry Allen, Sheila Jordan, Bob Dorough, Valery Ponomarev and (with Jon Hendricks) Philly Joe Jones, Roy Haynes, and Annie Ross to name a few.
Saturday’s performance in Downtown Luray also features Jeff Massanari on guitar, Jimmy Trussell on bass, and Kieth Willingham on drums.
