 Alemanno – bass Jeremy Dutton – drums “A pianist with liquid dynamism in
  his touch.” — The New York Times Pianist James Francies makes his Smoke
  leader debut with his trio plus special guest Joel Ross\, as the second
  half of Smoke’s annual two-week celebration of Thelonious Monk. At 30\,
  Francies has already built an extraordinary résumé\, working across jaz
 z\, hip-hop\, and R&B with artists including Pat Metheny\, Chris Potter\
 , Jeff “Tain” Watts\, Eric Harland\, Terrace Martin\, Common\, Ms. Laury
 n Hill\, and The Roots. A Houston native and Blue Note recording artist\
 , he has developed a sound that draws freely from the jazz tradition whi
 le embracing the possibilities of contemporary music. Writing about his 
 most recent album\, Purest Form\, the Houston Chronicle noted that Franc
 ies “finds modern ways to take the familiar and make it new.” Ross is a 
 distinctive new voice on the vibraphone and\, like Francies\, a Blue Not
 e recording artist. Together\, Francies and Ross are leaders of a new ge
 neration of jazz musicians\, deeply engaged with the tradition while pus
 hing the music forward.\n\nTickets: https://tickets.smokejazz.com/shows/
