  • F. Ludwig Diehn Concert Series: Katie Thiroux
    Old Dominion University 2017-2018 F. Ludwig Diehn Concert Series Katie Thiroux with John Toomey, piano Chuck Redd, drums April 16, 2018, 8 p.m. Wilson G. Chandler Recital Hall F. Ludwig Diehn Center for the Performing Arts arts@odu Biographies A triple-threat talent, Katie Thiroux has garnered considerable attention for her bravura bass playing, assured singing and compelling compositions. With the release of her debut album, “Introducing Katie Thiroux” (2015), her substantial gifts as a bandleader and recording artist are now also on view. Audiences and critics agree, as this release received many awards including “Debut Record of the Year” from the Huffington Post, All About Jazz, Jazz Journalists Association and “Top 5 Debut Records of the Year” from NPR Jazz Critics Poll. Lending contemporary flair to mainstream stylings, Thiroux carries on the hard-swinging tradition of such bass masters as Ray Brown and John Clayton, while channeling the buoyant vocal finesse of iconic singers including Anita O’Day, Chet Baker and Ella Fitzgerald. Thiroux offers in-the-moment jazz that draws upon the rich history of the music, from swing to bebop and beyond. In 2015 Thiroux was a semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk Competition, featured on WBGO’s “The Checkout,” Downbeat Magazine and NPR. Thiroux’s recent performances with her quartet include Birdland, the San Jose Summer Jazz Fest, NAMM and the Juneau Jazz and Classics Festival. Thiroux’s sophomore release, “Off Beat,” features Ken Peplowski and Justin Kauflin and released on Capri Records in 2017. In addition to work with her quartet, Thiroux is an active member of the Larry Fuller Trio and has been heard with pianists Bill Cunliffe, Geri Allen, Helen Sung, Tamir Hendelman and Eric Reed; trumpeters Brian Lynch and Terell Stafford; saxophonists Jeff Clayton, Charles McPhearson and Ken Peplowski; guitarists Mundell Lowe and Larry Koonse; drummers Lewis Nash and Jeff Hamilton; and vocalists Niki Harris and Tierney Sutton.

  • Sunset Jazz at Newport 11 SPECTACULAR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS!
    Sunset Jazz at Newport 11 SPECTACULAR WEDNESDAY NIGHTS! Wednesday, July 12 KEN PEPLOWSKI QUARTET plus special guest SUE RANEY Together with pianist Tom Ranier, bassist Mike Gurrola and drummer Kevin Kanner, this Grand Opening Night, featuring clarinetist/ saxophonist Peplowski and singer Raney, will bring together selections from the Great American Songbook as a fitting introduction to the stellar 11 weekly concerts. The late Mel Torme said, “Since the advent of Benny Goodman, there have been too few clarinetists to fill the void that Goodman left. Ken Peplowski is most certainly one of those few. The man is magic.” When Ken was asked by the producers who he might like to have as a special guest vocalist, without even a moment of hesitation he said SUE RANEY! The following quotes speak highly for Ken’s selection: “As for Ms. Raney – well, she is a marvel with her voice having phenomenal range and pitch” – Julie Andrews. “It isn’t difficult to write liner notes for Sue Raney. What I have to say about her is only an echo of what she says for herself every time she sings.” – Nat King Cole. Wednesday, July 19 LARRY FULLER, JOHN CLAYTON, JEFF HAMILTON – The Leaders Trio Bringing together these 3 gentlemen always provides an unforgettable night of jazz piano trio, the likes of which many people refer to as a “The Dream Trio”. Tune selections will include a salute to the great Ray Brown Trio, honoring Fuller, Clayton & Hamilton’s mentor. Raised in Toledo, Larry began his musical studies at age 11. From 1988 to 1993, he lived in Seattle in order to work for Ernestine Anderson as her musical director, followed by joining the Jeff Hamilton Trio in 1994 and leaving in 2000 to join the Ray Brown Trio.
