    This concert will feature renowned Guest Artist: Chicago Vocalist Typhanie Monique.

    Soul-infused jazz vocal stylist Typhanie Monique’s daring rhythmic ideas and unique improvisatory delivery place her in an elite class of vocalists.

    She has been a force on the Chicago music scene for more than 20 years. A fierce bandleader, she has shared the stage with jazz’s elite, including Joe Lovano, Chris Potter, the Manhattan Transfer and Mavis Staples, to name a few.

    Typhanie is a performer, educator and recording artist whose four critically acclaimed, independently produced albums have captured the ears of top jazz critics and thousands of dedicated fans.
    Downbeat magazine publisher Frank Alkyers calls her latest album Call it Magic “a deep recording about the full range of emotions surrounding this thing called love … it’s music made with great thought and even more care and, yes, a little magic.”
