This Saturday, Nov. 11th: The Emily Kuhn Quintet🎺🎶

Chicago based trumpeter, Emily Kuhn, brings her jazz quintet to Akron, Ohio, for a Saturday night at Blu Jazz!

The Emily Kuhn Quintet will be celebrating the release of their recent album, "Ghosts of Us," via BACE Records. Described as "the kind of lyrical, spacious jazz that draws you deep within its cocoon-like atmosphere" (Matt Collar, All Music), the album draws inspiration from the Covid-19 pandemic, meditating on themes of stillness, connection, grief, and hope. The group relies on their strong foundation of musical trust to deftly navigate influences from jazz, rock, chamber music, and Americana.

Tomorrow night! Special Sunday Showing of KRISTINA KOLLER🎙️🎶

Growing up just outside of New York City, Kristina was exposed to a wide array of music & dance which markedly influenced her at an early age. As such, she performed in youth musical theater and eventually branched out artistically, embracing solo performance as a teen singer-songwriter and vocalist in alt-rock bands. Her artistic thirst reached into classical art songs, opera and vocal jazz. Her embrace of jazz expanded into the performance space during her high school years, joining a quartet that gigged locally in Westchester, NY. On scholarship she studied at The Hartt School’s Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz and completed her formal music education at The City College of New York. Kristina developed her musical voice in the NYC jazz scene, performing at venerable haunts such as Smalls, Smoke, Minton's, Mezzrow as well as The Apollo Theater.

This FRIDAY, October 6th: Trumpeter, Eric Jacobson brings his Quartet to BLU Jazz+🎺🎶

“Eric is the real deal! A truly world class jazz trumpeter...strong, assured technique, a hip dark sound on the trumpet, and expressive without gimmicks.”
- Brian Lynch, 2x Grammy Winner

“Jacobson has a beautiful tone that shades with lush vibrato. His lines, always melodic, hint at something new and surprising around the corner. That makes for highly communicative playing and for us, involved listening. Like players such as roy hargrove and tom harrell, jacobson is a ‘Toucher’ and not ‘Pusher’ of unnecessary technique or pre-planned patterns. By
