The NAJS continues our partnership with the Railyard Live Concert Series for the two day music extravaganza, THE JAZZ & BLUES BLOCK PARTY. Included in a line-up of four bands, the NAJS will present ABSTRACT CITIZEN, the newest group from Guitarist/Composer Aaron Lebos. The band’s genre can be categorized under the wide umbrella term “Modern Jazz,” and the band explores this endless textural possibility in many stunning and genre-bending ways. The music is filled with simple yet unique melodies, complex yet accessible time signatures, improvisation, and a balance of structure and chaos. Most importantly, this new music is filled with freshness and sincerity.
NAJS will also present Korean jazz piano phenom, Youngjoo Song and her trio. Youngjoo Song is one of Korea’s leading jazz pianists. After graduating Berklee College of Music and Manhattan School of Music, she climbed Korea’s Jazz charts in record sales and popularity. Youngjoo Song is the first female jazz pianist from South Korea to perform at Blue Note NY as a headliner. Her album “Tale Of A City” won the “Best Jazz Performance” at the 2012 Korean Music Award. Critics have declared, “Young Joo Song is a fresh, vibrant voice as both a pianist and composer. Her music awakes the soul, inspires the imagination, and warms the heart”.
The Railyard has tables and chairs on the paved area available for reservation. Spacious lawn seating is open to the night sky for a unique concert experience.
