A Smooth & Funky Christmas

Christian “Big New York” de Mesones is a larger than life showman and bassist, best known for fronting Groove Skool Band. He now sells out shows as a headliner, having organized “Big New York & the Smooth Jazz All-Stars”, a uniquely collaborative effort highlighting the hottest smooth jazz artists in the DMV.

The line-up for this event consists of multiple Billboard-charting artists with current airplay on the XM Sirius smooth jazz channel Watercolors, as well as an Oasis and American Smooth Jazz New Artist of the Year Award nominee. All have performed with Big New York, as part of the Smooth Jazz All-Stars, or with local favorite Groove Skool Band. The instrumentation for the Christmas show is designed to engage and entice, provide dynamics, and allow for a truly unique musical experience. The All-Stars for this event are Willie Bradley on Trumpet, Drew Davidsen on Guitar, Elliot Levine on keyboards, the triple-sax attack of Rob Maletick, Eddie Baccus, Jr., and Keith Anderson; Jay Jones on drums, and Curtis McCain on percussion. Each of these talented artists will charm and fascinate the audience with musical abilities that are beyond compare.

If you aren’t touching the listener’s soul, then you aren’t really playing music. Soul communication is the key.”

Pensacola Cultural Jazz Series 2011

I would like to introduce you to the Pensacola Cultural Jazz Series. This will be a series of 5 concerts in Pensacola over the next 10-12 months. Portions of the proceeds will go to purchase instruments for our local schools music programs. We will also have a group of seats for each show we are calling “Saving Seats for Future Musicians” where we will invite a group of future musicians from our local area schools to attend the shows for free.

The Pensacola Cultural Jazz Series is being created by Twisted Canyon Productions to bring the Art of Jazz to the Pensacola area. In order for this to be accomplished, we are asking the public and private sectors to help with this worthwhile mission. With this series, we plan to bring in some of the top named smooth jazz artists from all over the world. We will also feature local and regional artist as opening acts, to help promote them as well.

The Concerts will be held at The Pensacola Saenger Theatre as well as the Amos Theatre at WSRE TV on the Pensacola State College Campus.

If you or your company would be interested in being one of our Sponsors, please look over our Series and Individual Show Sponsorship Packages, located in the sponsorship section of our site.
