Part two of the Midtown Jazz Crawl concert series features the Rodney Whitaker Detroit-Chicago-Philly Group. Entertaining the audience with delightful melodies from a variety of jazz standards and original compositions from the past and present, Rodney will be accompanied by renowned East Coast and Midwest musicians, including Tim Warfield – tenor saxophone, Dwight Adams – trumpet, Dana Hall – drums, Rockelle Whitaker – vocals and Brendon Davis – piano.

This concert is one of four performances held over two weekends, May 1-2 and May 8-9, that will delve into the humanity, resilience, and spirituality of African American culture through the lens of jazz music. Performed by the Gathering Orchestra and seasoned professionals, this music often symbolizes survival, spiritual awakening, protests, prayer, and good times.  Jazz serves as a means of expressing human emotions as we navigate life’s challenges, attempting to comprehend our predicaments. It is romantic, and forgiving, and helps us to find our way. As Rev Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The blues speaks to everyday life and meaning.”

Mia Chinni will perform a combination of jazz standards and original compositions as a part of her senior recital.
