The NEA Jazz Master \, three-time Grammy Award winner\, and Tony and EMMY Award nominee is equ ally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead\, but the core of his musical universe r emains the Branford Marsalis Quartet. \n\n\n\nAfter more than three decad es of existence with minimal personnel changes\, this celebrated ensemble is revered for its uncompromising interpretation of a kaleidoscopic range of both original compositions and jazz and popular classics. After receivi ng Grammy nominations on its last two albums\, Upward Spiral and The Secre t Between the Shadow and the Soul\, the Quartet made its Blue Note Records debut in 2025 with the release of Belonging\, a full album interpretation of Keith Jarrett’s 1974 ECM album of the same name. \n\n\n\nWikipedia | Website | Facebook \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dianne Reeve s\n\n\n\nFive-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves is the world’s pre-eminen t jazz vocalist. As a result of her virtuosity\, improvisational prowess\, and unique jazz and R&B stylings\, Reeves received the Grammy for “Best Jazz Vocal Performance” for three consecutive recordings — a Grammy f irst in any vocal category. Reeves was featured in George Clooney’s awar d-winning film Goodnight and Good Luck\, for which she received a Grammy. Her most recent release\, Beautiful Life\, features Gregory Porter\, Rober t Glasper\, Lalah Hathaway\, and Esperanza Spalding. Produced by Terri Lyn e Carrington\, Beautiful Life also won a Grammy. \n\n\n\nReeves has recei ved honorary doctorates from DePaul University\, the Berklee College of Mu sic\, and The Juilliard School\, and like Branford\, she was designated a Jazz Master by The National Endowment for the Arts — the highest honor t he United States bestows on jazz artists.

Initially inspired by the question\, “What will the las t sound I hear before I die be?”\, Lange channels frenetic electronics\, distortion\, and echo into songs that capture feelings of dread\, but als o the possibility of renewal. Lead single “More\,” accompanied by a vi deo from filmmaker Annapurna Kumar\, explores the paradox of hyperconnecti on and loneliness\, while other tracks confront power structures (“Sende r Receiver”)\, protection and cynicism (“Protector”)\, and the balan ce between nothingness and possibility (“Zenith”). \n\n\n\nDespite th e heavy themes\, movement and joy remain central to Lange’s practice. Pe rforming live\, he transforms grief and tension into something freeing\, a sking\, “How can I dance to this grief?” The result is music that neve r shies away from complexity\, but ultimately searches for release and con nection. \n\n\n\nAs Lange frames it himself: “What is the last sound on earth? The last sound is love… that’s the sound I hope to hear.” Wi th The Last Sound On Earth\, Helado Negro opens a new chapter\, offering l isteners music that resonates on both intimate and universal scales—a re minder that even in moments of uncertainty\, there’s room for reflection \, movement\, and love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Longworth-Anderson Serie s\n\n\n\nLaunched in early 2017 by the Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society\, the Longworth-Anderson Series (LAS)features GRAMMY Award-winning and other nationally recognized performers and bands at beautiful\,intimate Memoria l Hall.
