Rachel Z Trio featuring Omar Hakim: The Sensational Tour $25 General // $30 Premium $10 tickets with no fees!
- Rachel Z’s a fantastic pianist, a wonderful composer, and she’s brilliant with the synthesizers, too. Her contributions were a large part of what made Wayne Shorter’s High Life album such an outstanding achievement. Rachel Z’s new album, Sensual, does not disappointed. If you’re reading this and you’re looking for a comparison, in ways, Kait Dunton’s latest, Keyboards, is cut from the same cloth. Not because they’re both female Jazz keyboardists, but because they’re both excellent keyboardists with big ears and a broad palette to work from. There are hints of Herbie Hancock, Bob James and Patrice Rushen in her playing and in how she arranges for strings, backgrounds and the occasional synthesizer.
- Widely acclaimed for his versatility, technological prowess and groove, Omar Hakim is one of the most successful drummers and session men of the past forty years. He has collaborated with artists ranging from Miles Davis to Madonna and has left his imprint on hundreds recordings including several under his own name. He plays on Rachel Z latest album, and together, it’s a treat from beginning to end!
