SUMMARY:MICHAEL ZAPORSKI & FUTURE VISIONS
DESCRIPTION:Michael Zaporski (piano) crafts remarkable music that blends the rich heritage of American jazz with the dynamic rhythms of West African traditions. As the longtime pianist for the late Detroit saxophonist Sam Sanders\, Zaporski traveled to West Africa under the auspices of the U.S. State Department\, where he performed and taught jazz. This enduring connection opened doors to collaborations with legendary jazz figures such as Jackie McLean\, Frank Foster\, Art Blakey\, Pharaoh Sanders\, and Donald Byrd. \nWith his ensemble FutureVisions\, Zaporski has headlined jazz festivals and performed at colleges nationwide. His recordings—including an acclaimed work for orchestra\, chorus\, and jazz quartet—have been praised for their innovation and depth. In addition to leading his own group\, he is a key member of the esteemed Planet D Nonet\, where he brings his diverse musical background into a vibrant large ensemble setting. \nWhether leading FutureVisions or performing with Planet D Nonet\, Zaporski infuses each original piece and jazz standard with the depth and refinement born of his global musical journey. Merging high-octane energy with African rhythmic influences and evocative melodies\, he remains devoted to the spirit of innovation and individuality that defines the American jazz tradition.

SUMMARY:KEVIN BUJO JONES
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Jones is a percussionist\, band leader\, producer\, educator. A native of Englewood\, New Jersey\, Kevin grew up in a household immersed in jazz\, soul\, gospel and blues\, from Charlie Parker and Lou Rawls to Nat King Cole and Mahalia Jackson\, along with the pop and R&B legends of the times. Reportedly\, Kevin’s grandmother\, Maggie Walker Jones\, once played with (and maybe even recorded with) Bessie Smith. The arts of all types were nurtured in the Jones household and piano lessons were a requirement\, not an elective. \nJones traces his percussion expertise to the age-old ‘academy of the streets.’ Over the years Kevin has evolved an increasingly comprehensive approach to percussion\, commanding respect from artists such as the Isley Brothers\, Whitney Houston\, Winard Harper\, and Reggie \nWorkman. \nAt age 10 began Kevin showing interest in playing hand drums. Neighborhood drummers were prone to testifying on front lawns and park benches\, hand drums and various percussive enhancements in tow; their massaging\, pulsating\, skin-on-skins thoroughly hooked the \nimpressionable youngster. Among these master drummers were Marvin “Bugalu” Smith (Sun-Ra\, Archie Shepp\, Mal Waldron)\, Earl “Buster Smith (Eric Dolphy\,Sun-Ra)\, Karl Potter (The Isley Brothers\, Pino Daniele) and Babatunde Lea (Pharoah Sanders\, Leon Thomas)\, who all spent time with and made a long-lasting impression on the young Kevin’s life.
