“SUPERSTAR POP ARTIST FROM JAPAN PURSUES HIS LOVE OF JAZZ
IN NEW PHASE OF HIS MUSICAL CAREER, NOW HERE IS “SENRI OE
TRIO” IN HAWAII”
With his 5th Jazz album “Boys & Girls,” Senri’s connects the distinct eras in his career as a former Japanese superstar artist in the J-Pop arena, and his current career as a jazz artist. In “Boys and Girls” Senri brings fresh jazz energy by re-imagining some of his classic pop hits from the ’80s and ’90s, and it reflects a limitless creative future in the genre he has embraced since he shifted gears and moved to New York to study jazz in 2008.
The title of his Re-debut album “Boys Mature Slow” in 2012 means it literally. He opened the 2nd chapter’s door of his life. His love for jazz has spun the wheel in his 4th album “Answer July” in 2017 dedicated to legendary jazz artists, Sheila Jordan & Joe Hendricks. In this album. Lauren Kinhan(New York Voices)(vox&Lyrics), Theo Bleckmann(vox), and Becca Stevens(vox) as next and next-next generation of Sheila & Jon have joined in singing and writing lyrics with Senri’s melody.

Gino Vannelli at The Blue Note followed by a Meet & Greet
2019-05-24 20:00 | Blue Note, 2335 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96815, United States
Since his debut release of “Crazy Life,” in 1973, Gino Vannelli has remained one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music. His voice is as memorable as his hair, as he has been dubbed, “The Canadian singer songwriter with a lion’s mane.” But Vannelli’s evolving music has kept his fan base growing for over 40 years. From rock, to jazz, to soul, even classical, this singer/songwriter/producer has left no musical stone unturned.
With an amazing 19 albums under his belt, most hitting the Billboard charts—his latest release being ‘Live in LA’, a concert shot at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, California, hitting number one on Amazon. Vannelli is a living legend, and his live shows should be seen to be believed. Some things get better with age and Vannelli is living embodiment of that sentiment. He will be releasing his 20th album in 2018, a brand new collection of recently written songs on his acoustic guitar. Whether performing piano-voice concerts in theaters, singing before symphony orchestras in concert halls, big bands or a pop ensemble, to throngs of enthusiastic fans, Vannelli remains impassioned and true to his art as ever. His standing as a powerful and innovative live performer, his well-hewn musical skills as composer, poet, producer, arranger, and bandleader, keep his career rising to greater heights.
Performance starts at 8:00pm (doors 6:00pm). Must purchase a separate ticket to attend the meet & greet following the performance.

Pink Martini at The Blue Note
2019-05-28 18:30 - 23:00 | Blue Note, 2335 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96815, United States
Pink Martini draws inspiration from music from all over the world, crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop. Hoping to appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, Thomas Lauderdale founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks.
Featuring a dozen musicians including vocalist China Forbes, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America. Pink Martini made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998 under the direction of Norman Leyden. Since then, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world, including multiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Boston Pops, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the San Francisco Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the BBC Concert Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall in London.

Lisa Fischer & Grand Baton
2019-05-30 18:30 - 23:00 | Blue Note, 2335 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96815, United States
Ms. Lisa Fischer is stepping into the spotlight at last. After four decades of singing background for icons like the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and Nine Inch Nails, Lisa is finally offering her own humble, heartfelt song, accompanied by her inventive new band Grand Baton.
Raised in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, she emerged from New York’s studio scene in the early-1980s and quickly became session singer royalty. Lisa’s career revolved around supporting other artists, including her mentor Luther Vandross and a constellation of music legends including Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Bobby McFerrin, Grover Washington, Patti LaBelle, and other major recording artists. Lisa joined the Rolling Stones on tour for the first time for their 1989 Steel Wheels tour; she has graced their stage for 26 years.
The breakout success of the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom (2013) altered the course of Lisa’s musical journey. Featuring clips of Lisa’s 1991 Grammy-winning R&B hit “How Can I Ease The Pain” and her legendary duet with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter,” and glowing testimonials from famous colleagues like Sting, Patti Austin, and Chris Botti, the film showcased her virtuosity and vulnerability, earned her a second Grammy award, and left audiences eager to see and hear more.
Lisa set out on tour with no recordings or video to help book and promote shows, headlining first in small clubs then at the Newport and Monterey Jazz Festivals, then at concert halls in major cities. In performance, she draws from an eclectic palette of influences, putting her stamp on Led Zeppelin and Little Willie John, recasting rock anthems from her tours with the Stones and Tina Turner. Grand Baton’s organic fusion of African, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean rhythms, psychedelic soul, and progressive rock ignites Lisa’s flexibility and freedom of expression. Lisa’s range is legendary, but her greatest gift is the ability to reach the hearts of her listeners. Ms. Lisa Fischer is on a creative journey, destination unknown.
The Blue Note will be featuring two shows, one beginning at 6:30pm, followed by a night performance at 9:00pm. Doors open at 5:00pm and 8:30pm respectively.

Blue Note: Shakka Band's Tribute to Santana
2019-06-25 18:30 - 19:30 | Blue Note, 2335 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96815, United States
Shakka is a Santana tribute band from Honolulu Hawaii recreating the sound and looks of Carlos Santana and his band taking everyone on a musical journey back to 1969 Woodstock where it all started into the current “Supernatural” album.
Rarely does a band combine explosive guitars with an intense longing for meaning. “We have the best jobs in the world because we play music for a living and love doing it, but we didn’t get into this to try and sell something. For us, it’s about communicating and connecting with people on a different level.”
“We pride ourselves in taking some things you might think you know, and then twisting them around. We’re not trying to necessarily be different–it’s just the way we are. That keeps it interesting for us, and interesting for the fans as well.” “That’s how excited we were. I think a lot of that energy found its way into the music, which was our intent from the very beginning. We want each song to carry the listener on a journey, and we want to make sure the ride is as interesting as possible. The best way I can describe it is to say that this band is a celebration of being alive.”
