SUMMARY:The Billy Thornton Quartet - Pop Hits with A Jazz Twist
DESCRIPTION:Show Ticket $25 \nDinner is required with all reservations. \n*6:30 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 5:15 PM \n*9:00 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 8:00 PM \nBilly Thornton – Bass/Vocals \nJustin Powell – Trumpet \nKevin Bales – Piano \nDarren Stanley – Drums \nThe jazz standards of yesteryear were pop songs of their time. With this in mind\, bassist and vocalist Billy Thornton combines his love of playing in the jazz style with the pop and rock songs he grew up listening to. Billy and his band mates enjoy inventing new harmonic and rhythmic backdrops for songs by artists such as The Beatles\, Taylor Swift\, Jimi Hendrix\, Blondie\, and Britney Spears. With the spirit of play and creativity at the forefront\, these songs become vehicles for exploration and musical joy. \nBilly Thornton is no stranger to jazz lovers in the southeast as a bassist. He is based in Atlanta\, Georgia and has been a member of bands in many musical styles from jazz to R&B and from top-40 pop to Celtic Rock. As a vocalist\, Billy expresses himself with honesty. He sings songs that he loves and finds something new in each song every night. The spirit of playing jazz music is in group improvisation\, and this isn’t limited to songs from a certain era. The Billy Thornton Quartet plays the songs of today knowing they will become jazz standards.

SUMMARY:Benny Benack III - Emmy-Nominated Trumpeter-Vocalist-Composer at Jazz Corner
DESCRIPTION:Show Ticket $30 \nDinner is required with all reservations. \n*6:30 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 5:15 PM \n*9:00 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 8:00 PM \nBenny Benack III – Trumpet/Vocals \nJohn Gonzales – Percussion \nJoshua Bowlus – Piano \nBrandon Robertson – Bass \nEmmy-nominated Trumpeter and Vocalist Benny Benack III has quickly become a leading voice in Jazz for his generation\, headlining clubs and festivals around the world on the heels of his latest critically acclaimed live album “This Is The Life” which has been garnering thousands of streams and topping the JazzWeek Radio Charts. He is the rare talent who is just as formidable as a fiery trumpeter ranging from Freddie Hubbard to Louis Armstrong and everyone in between\, while as a singer he delivers sly\, mature\, naturally expressive post-Sinatra vocal stylings. \nHis sophomore album “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” (2020) featured the likes of bass luminary Christian McBride\, achieving viral online fame w/his vocalese rendition of “Social Call” ft. Veronica Swift that’s been transcribed and covered by singers around the world. He has crooned his way to millions of more listeners alongside groups such as the Grammy-winning “8-Bit Big Band” and YouTube sensation “Postmodern Jukebox”. His (2023) album “Third Time’s the Charm” went all the way to #2 on the charts and featured a veritable line-up of special guests including Peter Bernstein\, Bria Skonberg\, Chad LB & more. \nHis double-threat credentials were first apparent when he was a finalist in the 2014 Thelonius Monk Competition on trumpet\, and then won Third Place in the 2021 Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition. His resume for both was recently bolstered by Downbeat Magazine’s Readers Poll for 2025\, where he placed #1 for Rising Star Male Vocalist and was also #8 for Rising Star Trumpet. \nHis global recognition has been bolstered through his collaborations with the GRAMMY-award winning “8-Bit Big Band” and touring with Postmodern Jukebox. The recent advent of live-streaming concerts has been a boon as well\, both through his residency at Smalls Jazz Club\, as well as frequent appearances at fellow superstar Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” online series. He has arrived as one of the most in-demand touring artists and music educators in the Jazz world\, with a never-ending intercontinental schedule that reflects his indefatigable love for the music\, with his smile and panache on full-display wherever it takes him next.

SUMMARY:Benny Benack III - Emmy-Nominated Trumpeter-Vocalist-Composer at Jazz Corner
DESCRIPTION:Show Ticket $30 \nDinner is required with all reservations. \n*6:30 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 5:15 PM \n*9:00 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 8:00 PM \nBenny Benack III – Trumpet/Vocals \nJohn Gonzales – Percussion \nJoshua Bowlus – Piano \nBrandon Robertson – Bass \nEmmy-nominated Trumpeter and Vocalist Benny Benack III has quickly become a leading voice in Jazz for his generation\, headlining clubs and festivals around the world on the heels of his latest critically acclaimed live album “This Is The Life” which has been garnering thousands of streams and topping the JazzWeek Radio Charts. He is the rare talent who is just as formidable as a fiery trumpeter ranging from Freddie Hubbard to Louis Armstrong and everyone in between\, while as a singer he delivers sly\, mature\, naturally expressive post-Sinatra vocal stylings. \nHis sophomore album “A Lot of Livin’ to Do” (2020) featured the likes of bass luminary Christian McBride\, achieving viral online fame w/his vocalese rendition of “Social Call” ft. Veronica Swift that’s been transcribed and covered by singers around the world. He has crooned his way to millions of more listeners alongside groups such as the Grammy-winning “8-Bit Big Band” and YouTube sensation “Postmodern Jukebox”. His (2023) album “Third Time’s the Charm” went all the way to #2 on the charts and featured a veritable line-up of special guests including Peter Bernstein\, Bria Skonberg\, Chad LB & more. \nHis double-threat credentials were first apparent when he was a finalist in the 2014 Thelonius Monk Competition on trumpet\, and then won Third Place in the 2021 Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition. His resume for both was recently bolstered by Downbeat Magazine’s Readers Poll for 2025\, where he placed #1 for Rising Star Male Vocalist and was also #8 for Rising Star Trumpet. \nHis global recognition has been bolstered through his collaborations with the GRAMMY-award winning “8-Bit Big Band” and touring with Postmodern Jukebox. The recent advent of live-streaming concerts has been a boon as well\, both through his residency at Smalls Jazz Club\, as well as frequent appearances at fellow superstar Emmet Cohen’s “Emmet’s Place” online series. He has arrived as one of the most in-demand touring artists and music educators in the Jazz world\, with a never-ending intercontinental schedule that reflects his indefatigable love for the music\, with his smile and panache on full-display wherever it takes him next.

No last names needed. The Beatles were that iconic\, innovative and influential. In less than ten years they redefined pop and rock and pointed the way as to how music would be created for the next 40 years. Not the least of their contributions may be a lexicon of songs that can stand up to reinterpretation and recasting into most any genre. Their masterful melodies and strong harmonic approach makes their music a perfect jumping off point for the masterful arranging of Noel Freidline and interpretation of Maria Howell. Join Noel & Maria and their all-star band as they present an evening of classic Beatles hits\, songs you have definitely heard before but that you have never heard before\, including “Let It Be\,” “Blackbird\,” “Eleanor Rigby\,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and many\, many more. \nMere words can only capture the refrain of MARIA HOWELL’s awesome talent.

While casting a spellbinding smile\, she mesmerizes her captive audience with incredible harmonies and rhythms. \nBest known for her role as the choir soloist in the 1985 Oscar-nominated film The Color Purple\, Maria Howell is the perfect combination of artistry and entertainment. \nAS AN ACTOR\, she has appeared in hit TV shows such as Lifetime’s\, “Army Wives”\, and Marc Cherry’s\, “Devious Maids”. Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams’ apocalyptic\, “Revolution”\, and “Aquarius”\, starring X-Files’ David Duchuvny\, both on NBC\, and “Criminal Minds”\, alongside Joe Mantegna. Theatrical credits include\, “The Blind Side”\, “Addicted”\, starring Sharon Leal and Boris Kodjoe\, “Hunger Games: Catching Fire”\, as Seeder\, and “Christmas Wedding Baby”\, by Award-Winning Writer/Director Kiara C.
