SUMMARY:Two James Spirits Dinner & Show with Evening Star
DESCRIPTION:THURS | Jul 30	\n\n	\n		\n		Zen Zadravec Quintet\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Sets 7pm & 8:30pm | $25 Cover \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n		About the Artist\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	With a rich international career spanning decades and continents\, pianist and composer Zen Zadravec has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz. Performing worldwide as a bandleader\, collaborator\, and educator\, his work is grounded in the belief that music functions as a form of creative communication—an expressive language shaped by human experience and guided by a clear humanistic perspective.  \nZadravec’s musical identity reflects a synthesis of tradition and forward motion. Drawing inspiration from masters such as Chick Corea\, Herbie Hancock\, Kenny Barron\, and Kenny Kirkland\, he has developed a personal sound that combines sophisticated harmonic language\, expressive melodic development\, and a strong rhythmic foundation. His approach emphasizes clarity of intent\, with composition and improvisation working together as integrated elements of a unified artistic voice.  \nOver the course of his career\, Zadravec has performed and collaborated with a wide range of leading figures in the international jazz community\, including Ron Carter\, Louis Hayes\, Karriem Riggins\, Ali Jackson\, Mike Pope\, Mark Whitfield Jr.\, Mark Gross\, Derrick Gardner\, Vincent Gardner\, Freddie Hendrix\, Sean Jones\, Steve Turre\, and Conrad Herwig. His work has also reached broader audiences through appearances on major radio and television platforms such as The Whoopi Goldberg Radio Show (WKTU)\, The Wendy Williams Show\, and NBC’s Today Show alongside Gloria Gaynor.  \nHe currently leads two original projects: the Zen Zadravec Quintet and the fusion-oriented ensemble Human Revolution\, both of which are actively performing on the international stage. His latest release\, New Paradigm (Marmite Records)\, continues to generate international attention\, further establishing his presence within the contemporary jazz landscape.  \nIn addition to his performance and compositional work\, Zadravec remains deeply committed to education\, mentoring emerging musicians and contributing to the ongoing development of the jazz tradition. His performances reflect a balance of artistic maturity\, contemporary expression\, and a direct connection with audiences—reinforcing his role as a compelling and evolving voice in modern jazz.  \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n				\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Russ Macklem Detroit Quintet
DESCRIPTION:THURS | Jul 30	\n\n	\n		\n		Zen Zadravec Quintet\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Sets 7pm & 8:30pm | $25 Cover \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n							RESERVE TABLE\n					\n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n		About the Artist\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	With a rich international career spanning decades and continents\, pianist and composer Zen Zadravec has established himself as a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz. Performing worldwide as a bandleader\, collaborator\, and educator\, his work is grounded in the belief that music functions as a form of creative communication—an expressive language shaped by human experience and guided by a clear humanistic perspective.  \nZadravec’s musical identity reflects a synthesis of tradition and forward motion. Drawing inspiration from masters such as Chick Corea\, Herbie Hancock\, Kenny Barron\, and Kenny Kirkland\, he has developed a personal sound that combines sophisticated harmonic language\, expressive melodic development\, and a strong rhythmic foundation. His approach emphasizes clarity of intent\, with composition and improvisation working together as integrated elements of a unified artistic voice.  \nOver the course of his career\, Zadravec has performed and collaborated with a wide range of leading figures in the international jazz community\, including Ron Carter\, Louis Hayes\, Karriem Riggins\, Ali Jackson\, Mike Pope\, Mark Whitfield Jr.\, Mark Gross\, Derrick Gardner\, Vincent Gardner\, Freddie Hendrix\, Sean Jones\, Steve Turre\, and Conrad Herwig. His work has also reached broader audiences through appearances on major radio and television platforms such as The Whoopi Goldberg Radio Show (WKTU)\, The Wendy Williams Show\, and NBC’s Today Show alongside Gloria Gaynor.  \nHe currently leads two original projects: the Zen Zadravec Quintet and the fusion-oriented ensemble Human Revolution\, both of which are actively performing on the international stage.
