Join us as saxophonist/singer/songwriter, Mindi Abair takes the stage at the 5th Annual Brevard Jazz Series Benefit for Children with Disabilities at the King Center on July 9th. Abair has not only set sonic trends, but has broken all the boundaries as she continues to define the less traditional future of jazz. Her unique hybrid sound, a mix of cool vulnerability and utter conviction, have brought her to the top of her game. Her latest release, In Hi-Fi Stereo, captures the raw and edgy aesthetic of that golden age, when a slab of vinyl could instantaneously put band and listener together in the same room and establish a visceral and enduring connection. Loaded with infectious grooves generated by a high-caliber crew of players, In Hi-Fi Stereo rekindles that spark for a new generation of ears. www.mindiabair.com/
