Brandon Meeks at the Melroy

Join us for the opening night of Equinox Jazz Fest at the Melroy Club downtown. 

Brandon Meeks has developed one of the most unique skillsets in Jazz blending his acumen as a topflight bassist and an in-demand Hip Hop producer. His quintet is a soulful and eclectic blend of his influences. The band features the same instrumentation as Christian McBride’s famed band Inside Straight, but sonically draws from innovators like Robert Glasper and Thundercat. Their music features interlaced musical layers and fearless improvisations that create a cinematic aesthetic worthy of being a Spike Lee soundtrack. Meeks is joined by Kendall Carter (keyboards), Josh Strange (vibraphone), Brandon Douthitt (sax), and Richard “Sleepy” Floyd (drums). 

Who will be into this? 
Lovers of Hip Hop and Neo Soul infused Jazz and high energy improvisation. Think Robert Glasper, Roy Hargrove, Brandee Younger, and Kamasi Washington.
