He worked with Miles Davis and Blossom Dearie, and his adventurous style was an influence on Mose Allison, among other singers. He is perhaps best known as the primary composer of and performer of many of the songs used in Schoolhouse Rock!, a series of educational animated shorts appearing on Saturday morning television in the 1970s and 1980s on ABC affiliates in the United States. He has released vocal jazz albums periodically over the last 50 years; his latest, Eulalia, came out in 2014.

April 11 Joe Alterman Band
Sets at 7 and 9pm $15 Cover $15 Minimum
This young man has "the groove" you will be shaking in your seat and dancing in the aisle. His recent tribute to one of his musical fathers Les McCann was nothing short of AMAZING!
"The last piece I did for them [The Wall Street Journal] - I'm so glad I had a chance to do it - is about a 24 year old pianist and composer named Joe Alterman, who is really the personification of the past of jazz - he's really deep into that -, the present of jazz - he has his own voice - and that leads him into the future of jazz, and he's so important in terms of the validity of jazz... They [Joe Alterman and Houston Person} make recordings that - to use the phrase that Duke Ellington really had a chance to use - they're 'beyond category' because they're timeless." - Nat Hentoff

April 18-Valerie Capers Trio featuring Jon Robinson III on Bass and Doug Richardson on Drums
Sets at 7pm and 9pm $18 Cover $15 minimum
https://www.facebook.com/events/685664041544472
Known for having some of the most entertaining arrangements in Jazz Valerie Capers is always an amazing show. She can swing, she can play ballads with the best of them, she can certainly bop. And she can cook too! Valerie is also featuring some of her vocal selections this evening as well. You will never forget her, or this evening.
"She picked out songs on the piano as a child before losing her sight at the age of six. Her blindness did not stop her from learning to read music in Braille and becoming the first blind graduate from the Juilliard School of Music. Although a classical player at the time, she was attracted to jazz, and was soon working with Mongo Santamaria. In 1965, Capers recorded for Atlantic; 17 years later, she would finally cut her second date (a self-produced effort for the tiny KM Arts label), and it would be another 13 years before her Columbia set. Capers did work with Ray Brown, Slide Hampton, James Moody, Max Roach, and Dizzy Gillespie in the interim, but was mostly employed as a high-level educator. Wagner Takes the "A" Train on Elysium appeared in 1999" Scott Yanow
