JEFF BRADSHAW IN CONCERT:
Trombone virtuoso Jeff Bradshaw has made a name for himself with his impressive playing skills and stylish, hip-hop influenced take on contemporary jazz. Bradshaw is known for collaborating with heavy-hitting vocalists, and he's often joined on stage by world-class singers as he brings his funky tunes to life. At his live shows laid-back tracks like "All Time Love" (ft. Robert Glasper, Eric Roberson, & Tweet) are perfectly complemented by uptempo jazz standards and Bradshaw's masterful trumpet solos, making for a dynamic concert experience anchored in phenomenal musicianship. Whether he's sharing the stage with a powerhouse vocalist, singing lead himself, or simply tearing through a mean instrumental set with his talented band, Bradshaw never fails to impress with his infectious energy, funky improvising, and vibrant personality on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Philadelphia-born Jeff Bradshaw played horn and snare drum in his church's brass band before taking up the trombone in high school. After graduating he bounced between various odd jobs while honing his skills on the instrument, and by the mid-'90s he had linked up with several movers and shakers in the Philly music scene including DJ Jazzy Jeff and Questlove of The Roots. Before long he was an in-demand session player, recording with artists like Erykah Badu, Earth Wind & Fire, and Michael Jackson (to name a few) and touring with rising stars like Jill Scott. In 2003 he made his album debut with Bone Deep, an auspicious collection that blended jazz and hip hop and featured guest vocals by Scott and several others. Critics applauded Bradshaw's commitment to the trombone, noting that the album made inroads towards establishing the instrument as a key component in mainstream music. Bradshaw spent the next decade touring with his band and working as a session player, and in 2012 he released his highly anticipated sophomore album Bone Appetit. The record featured guest appearances by Raheem DeVaughn, Marsha Ambrosius, and Coko of SWV, drawing praise from critics for its dynamic soul jazz sound and warm production. Since then Bradshaw has continued to impress on tour with effortlessly cool performances that always set a perfect groove.

My first Jazz Concert and it was amazing. I really enjoyed the music. I will definitely attend other Jazz Concerts.
Went to celebrate my birthday and see Mali Music. I was not disappointed. Mali Music was outstanding!!! So nice to be able to see him and enjoy the music up close and personal. Section D in the center was "perfect". All the other acts were outstanding as well.
This was a great time all around!! Artists were amazing...Avery, Avery, Avery!!! What more can I say, she is a ray of Sunshine even at night. I have a new found respect for her kind of talent. I would definitely recommend this show- get your tickets anytime they come around your way!
This was an amazing show. All the artist were spot on and there vocals were top notch. I enjoyed listening to music that was meaningful and beautiful. To sum it up, I loved the show and I walk away that night with a feeling of euphoria !!!
I went to see Avery Sunshine and Mali Music. Both of their performances seemed to be shortened due to the overly long performance of Jeff Bradshaw and friends. The length of the set (about 2 hours) was disrespectful of the artists that followed Too much Bradshaw....too little sunshine.
Nice event, seating was good. Easy access to stadium.
I always love the concerts held at this venue; however, sometimes the artists don't seem to fit in with the common genre of music. Although Saturday night's artists were fabulous, I did not think that Mali Music was not part of the theme of music. He stayed on stage way too long which cut Avery Sunshine's segment in half which was very disappointing.
My seats were great it was my first time at the venue and I will return. Jeff Bradshaw, Robert Glasper and Maili was great. But the highlight of the evening was Avery Avery Avery Sunshine that girl can sang she a beast I've been wanting to see her for years and she didn't disappoint... Great Show Mr Wade...was a awesome lineup....
Well Done to those that selected the artists for the Black Music Month concert on Saturday, July 13th at Mable House Amp. I must say I was eagerly awaiting the Mali Music and Avery Sunshine sets the most. I was introduced to Mali Music last year when I heard the song No Fun Alone. Immediately drawn to the rhythm, I googled and downloaded the complete album. I'm a true believer that music has the ability to touch and heal the soul and Mali Is... will forever be one my all time favorite albums for this reason. He is truly gifted. I'm new to Avery Sunshine and I have seen her live once so I knew her performance was going to be just as genuine and beautifully consistent as it was the first time I heard her. Both of these artists do NOT receive the attention they so just deserve. Nothing can compare to quality music with a positive message.
Great acts, wonderful music, great atmosphere!!! My only gripe is Avery Sunshine was too SHORT!!!
The start time was suppose to be 7:00pm but it really didn't start until 7:45pm and it was way too much talking and clowning around. I paid my money to hear some jazz not to see an award and comedy show.
