Award-winning trumpeter Curtis Taylor’s lyrical and melodic improvisational style displays a level of maturity far beyond his years. His unique blend of soulfulness, harmonic sensibilities and rhythm melt together for an unforgettable sound that directly connects with the soul of the listener. According to Taylor, “When played honestly, music is the ultimate conveyor of truth and beauty.”

Taylor has performed and recorded with Patrice Rushen, Billy Childs, Gary Novak, Bob Sheppard, Ed Motta, Marvin “Smitty’ Smith, Rodney Whitaker, Antonio Hart and great gospel luminaries Karen Clark-Sheard, Kierra Sheard and the Singletons. Taylor’s stint with jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut included a notable concert performance at Kennedy Center which was recorded for NPR’s Jazzset. In 2014, Taylor relocated to southern California where he worked with producer Kamau Kenyatta on Gregory Porter’s GRAMMY-winning album Liquid Spirit.

Okorie Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter who performs under the moniker OkCello. His artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling – all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk.

OkCello is inspired by the exploration of African Diasporic melodies and narratives and their intersection with people’s perceptions and assumptions about the classical and European nature of the cello. As well, his work with improvisation attempts to embody the phenomenon of wordless prayer.

Over his career, Okorie has had the opportunity to perform and/or record with India.Arie, De La Soul, and Big Boi of OutKast, amongst many others.

Okorie describes his circuitous route to this unusual solo cello career in the following quote: “After years of putting my cello down and picking it back up, after years of deciding that the cello wasn’t financially practical, after years of thinking that my other voices were my native ones, I realized that the cello was the oldest, the most central and the most sacred part of me. I resolved never, ever, to deny it again.”

San Diego-based guitarist, composer and producer Peter Sprague is loved and respected locally and worldwide. He has recorded numerous albums and continues to produce talented artists at Spragueland, his recording facility in Encinitas.

For this show, Peter and Company presents a sonic spin through the atmosphere that songwriter Carole King created. Her hits, including “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” and “It’s Too Late,” take on a new hue with Peter’s jazz reimagining. Who would have thought that the young female songwriter working out of the Brill Building in the ’60s would continue to inspire and touch future generations of musicians? Join us for a night of classic songs jazzified as only the Leucadia Muso Mafia elegantly delivers.

The band includes Beth Ross Buckley on flute, Pamela Pendrell on vocals, Tripp Sprague on sax and flute, Danny Green on piano, Mack Leighton on bass, Duncan Moore on drums, and Peter Sprague on guitar.
