A Evening with Smooth Jazz Artist Althea Rene hosted by Tom Braxton - VIP EXPERIENCE

The Dallas Jazz Series and Dallas Jazz Foundation along with the Ervay Event Center bring you an unforgettable evening of smooth jazz excellence. We are proud to present an evening of great smooth Jazz featuring internationally-acclaimed Billboard Smooth Jazz Flautist Althea Rene with Special Host internationally-acclaimed Smooth Jazz Artist Tom Braxton.  This concert will take place in the newly remodeled Ervay Theater Event Center.

EVENT DETAILS

Althea Rene made history by becoming the first flute player in the history of the Billboard Chart to reach the number one spot. Among her tunes are In The Flow, Deja Vu, Flawsome, Gypsy Soul and her remake of the hit songs Can We Talk, It Never Rains (In Southern California), Free, and We Are One.

Althea René gained musical inspiration from her father Dezie McCullers (one of Motown's original Funk Brothers). She has since developed her creative style. Some regard her as a "master of her craft" and one of the world's most exciting solo improvisational flutists. The multiplatinum and Grammy-nominated saxophonist Najee playfully refers to her as the “Maceo of the flute”.

Her plans for 2022 are substantial. Among her many performances scheduled throughout the year, Althea René hosted her Second Annual South Central Jazz Fest on Saturday, October 15th.  Althea René, saxophonist Marcus Anderson, and vocalist Tracey Hamlin also delivered an amazing evening of music from a historic military airplane hangar in beautiful San Antonio, Texas.

She will release a few recordings this year. “The Best of Soul-Jazz Flutist Althea René” features 16 of her most popular songs recorded between the years 2000 and 2013. It reflects her evolution as a writer and performer over 13 years. Althea René is also releasing a new project titled “Pastel Leather” in the third quarter. The theme of the project is a particular duality of human personalities and behaviors. Sometimes we are forced to exhibit a soft, polite, and forgiving demeanor while maintaining our mental and physical toughness from within. It features a powerful lineup of guest artists like vibe master Warren Wolf, trumpeter Lin Rountree, producer/writer Demetrius “Krayon” Nabors, and jazz fusion icon Jeff Lorber.

On this night, Althea will deliver these songs and other favorites in a show that’s sure to captivate you. Visit AltheaRene.com. to learn more about this remarkable artist.

The Host for this event is internationally-acclaimed Tom Braxton.

Tom has garnered critical acclaim while thrilling audiences of all ages from coast to coast and abroad for over two decades. From Africa to Japan…from New York to L.A., Braxton’s distinct, melodic sound leaves audiences astounded, clapping, and on their feet screaming for more!

His music can be heard on radio and television airwaves nationwide, and his albums have hit numerous jazz charts including Billboard, RadioWave, SmoothJazz.com, Groove Jazz Music, Capital Jazz Radio, and Amazon. That's why Jazz Review calls Braxton "one of smooth jazz's most prolific saxophonists. Tom will perform a short set by himself and then join Althea for an event that promises to be one of the most fun and entertaining live music events this holiday season.
