| Sunset Jazz Festival At Southland Sunset Jazz Festival at Southland presents an evening of elegant jazz under the stars, Saturday, May 20, 2006, with Sonny Emory, Eric Essix and Najuma featuring the Kermit Walker Trio. The intimate jazz concert takes place at Southland Country Club in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The concert's featured performer is Grammy award-winning artist Sonny Emory with appearances by Eric Essix and Najuma featuring the Kermit Walker Trio. Emory, best known for his groundbreaking drumming with Earth, Wind and Fire, has performed with a virtual "who's who" in pop and jazz music including Stanley Clarke, David Sanborn, Bette Midler, Al Jarreau, Paula Abdul, Jean-Luc Ponty and Boz Scaggs. Emory now leads his own ultra funky progressive aggregation, State of the Art formerly known as Hypnofunk. Guitarist virtuoso Eric Essix's compositions have earned him accolades, including a top 10 smooth jazz radio single, the classic "Rainy Night in Georgia." Vocalist Najuma has excited audiences across Atlanta with her unique fusion of R&B, jazz and African rhythms. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
