A night of soulful saxophone and funky grooves from contemporary jazz saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist, Vincent Ingala and his electrifying band! Declared by Jazziz Magazine as “one of the most exciting artists to emerge this past decade,” Vincent Ingala remains an unstoppable and ever-adventurous creative force in urban contemporary jazz, with a total of ten #1 Billboard hits, twenty-three Top 10 singles, and more to come from his latest release and 8th studio album, “Escape With Me” on Shanachie Entertainment. Vincent’s unique dual ability to electrify fans while connecting emotionally with them has made him one of the genre’s most popular touring artists. He draws the audience in and makes them part of an exciting musical experience that bridges the gap between the music of his father’s R&B, funk and soul collection (which Vincent grew up heavily immersed in) and Vincent’s own crisp grooves, well executed horn lines and horn-drenched melodies. Just as he plays every instrument on his self-produced albums, he fronts his explosive band by providing the audience with a well blended show of sax, guitar, drums and vocals.
