TERRY MARSHALL & BRIDGES BRING HARMONY AND GROOVE TO BALTIMORE

Terry Marshall & Bridges perform at An die Musik Live on April 16, 2016. Aided by three formidable vocalists and solid rhythm section, the pianist and composer will deliver his own special brand of jazz featuring plenty of harmony and groove.

Marshall has performed in clubs and concert halls as far north as Toronto, Canada and as far south as Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. He has graced the stages of many celebrated venues in the nation’s capital including, The Kennedy Center, Wolf Trap and Blues Alley. Always the epitome of taste and artistry, Marshall offers beloved standards to complement his own acclaimed compositions. His 2014 debut recording, Arrival, reached No. 25 on the CMJ jazz charts and received rave reviews from critics.

Vocal harmony enriches and enlivens Terry Marshall's music. His recording and the Twins performance feature three-part vocal harmony in many selections. Iva Ambush, DeCasto Brown and Kendra Johnson skillfully bend many songs into unique and interesting shapes. 

Listeners will hear selections such as Marshall’s composition “Teresa,” a samba in ¾ time. (Samba is almost always written and played in 4/4 time.) The vamp for the introduction is inspired by the modern chord patterns introduced by Coltrane in songs like “Giant Steps” and “Countdown.” The band will cover a related Brazilian song, “Upside Down,” written by the iconic composer Djavan. (The song is known as “Flor De Lis” when it is performed in Portuguese.) Arranged by Terry Marshall, “This Bitter Earth” is another enticing piece for jazz lovers to look out for. It features the voice of Kendra Johnson and Marshall on piano. It is a classic jazz ballad made popular by Dinah Washington. The piece exemplifies the period in the late 50s through the 60s when singers like Dinah Washington and Etta James blurred the lines between Jazz and Rhythm and Blues. Kendra Johnson's vocal performance on the 2014 album was exceptionally well received by critics and the Baltimore jazz audience will soon hear the reason why.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. The cost is only $12 for students with ID. To reserve seats, visit www.andiemusiklive.com.
