SUMMARY:Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet: A Tribute to Lionel Hampton
DESCRIPTION:Born into New Orleans’ first family of jazz\, Jason Marsalis – youngest son of the late pianist-educator Ellis Marsalis Jr. and brother to Wynton\, Branford\, and Delfeayo – has carved his own unmistakable path as both a virtuosic drummer and one of today’s most imaginative voices on the vibraphone. \nMarsalis launched his career behind the drum kit\, and by his late teens he was touring the world with Marcus Roberts\, digging deeply into mainstream jazz\, fusion\, Brazilian influences\, and the full spectrum of New Orleans traditions. His sideman credits read like a modern jazz honour roll: Joe Henderson\, Lionel Hampton\, Jon Batiste\, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra\, among others. He has also served as a Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department. \nIn the early 2000s\, Marsalis shifted his creative focus to the vibraphone – a move that has since positioned him as one of the instrument’s essential contemporary innovators. Through his Vibes Quartet and numerous collaborations\, he has pushed the American vibraphone lineage forward with wit\, clarity\, and a deep sense of swing. In 2011\, he became the youngest-ever recipient of the NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship when the Marsalis family was honoured at the White House and the Kennedy Center. His 2013 album In a World of Mallets topped the CMJ radio charts at Number 1. \nFor this special concert – the Jason Marsalis Quartet offers a vibrant\, forward-looking celebration of Lionel Hampton\, created with the blessing of the Lionel Hampton Estate. \nMarsalis approaches Hampton’s repertoire not as archival material but as living\, breathing music: joyful\, hard-swinging\, and fully alive in the present. Expect ringing vibes\, deep grooves\, and the kind of electric stage energy that defined Hampton’s legacy – channelled through Jason Marsalis’s own blend of humility\, fire\, and unmistakable New Orleans spirit. \n\n Wednesday\, Jun 24th\, 2026\n 7:00 PM – 9:30 PM \nGeneral Admission – $49.99\nYouth – $19.99\n\nBand members\nJason Marsalis – vibrapphone\nChris Tauchner – piano\nJeff Gammon – bass\nNate Chiang – drums

SUMMARY:The Robert Lee Group
DESCRIPTION:The Robert Lee Group is a unique project consisting of original compositions inspired by Korean folk stories and poetry\, spanning various fantasy and romantic narratives.

SUMMARY:ADHD
DESCRIPTION:Ironwood Stage and Grill \n Thursday\, Jun 25th\, 2026\n 8:00 PM – 10:30 PM  \nGeneral Admission – $49.99  \nYouth (25 & under) – $19.99  \nThere are bands where every album is a step into the unknown. There are others whose development is a reliable and consistent expansion of their terrain. The latter applies to the Icelandic musicians’ collective ADHD.  \nIt is almost impossible to describe their concerts along traditional musical parameters. A performance by these four Vikings is always an all-encompassing ritual\, a magic potion of incantation dance and a phenomenon of nature. When keyboarder THÓMAS JÓNSSON\, guitarrist and bass player ÓMAR GUÐJÓNSSON\, saxophonist ÓSKAR GUÐJÓNSSON\, und drummer MAGNÚS TRYGVASON ELIASSEN are on stage\, the ordinary Middle European mortal will get at least a vague sense of how the island people in the very north of Europe have been able to survive the long and icy winters through the centuries. – They simply produce their energy out of themselves.  \nThis unbridled stream of human vibration\, which overrides all perimeters of genre and fascinates jazz fans as much as rock fans and ravers\, follows a most ancient human desire\, whose non-verbal impulse is older than any language and yet is entirely rooted in the present. The expanse of the cosmos and the infinity of time culminate in this happening of total music\, as well as a profound mysticism of free imagination and an unflagging confrontation with contemporary issues.  \nThe Gesamtkunstwerk ADHD cannot be quite captured in words. This sublime timelessness in the here and now can only be experienced. \nBand members\nÓskar Guðjónsson - saxophones\nÓmar Guðjónsson - electric guitar\, electric bass\, pedal steel\nTómas Jónsson - piano\, Hammond\, Synth bass\, melodica\, etc.\nMagnus Trygvason Eliassen - drumkit\, percussion
