Late Night Concert Series w/Petra D-Lux Quartet

Showtimes:   10:30pm-11:45pm

Vocalist Petra van Nuis and pianist Dennis Luxion have been noted for their “seamless camaraderie” (Chicago Jazz Magazine) with a style that is “hauntingly atmospheric and filled with creative substance” (All About Jazz) taking listeners to “a place where the agony, comfort, and hope of life meet” (Japan’s Jazz Critique Magazine).  Together they present on this night their Petra D-Lux Quartet.

“A veteran Chicago pianist of impeccable taste and considerable harmonic imagination” (Chicago Tribune), Dennis is best known for being Chet Baker’s pianist in the 1980s in Europe where they toured extensively and made six recordings together.

Praised for possessing “a light, gorgeous, and fairly delicate voice…a gift for melody and plenty of rhythmic confidence” (Downbeat Magazine), Petra is known around Chicago for her celebrated Recession Seven band.

In 2018, after countless gigs together, Petra and Dennis documented their synergistic collaboration with the recording “Because We’re Night People,” which in addition to the US release, was re-released in Japan and was chosen by All Nippon Airways (Japan’s largest airline) as in-flight entertainment. Nationally, the album was given 4 stars and included in the Best Of 2019 issue of DownBeat Magazine. Famed jazz writer Doug Ramsey praised the recording as “a highlight among 2019 vocal albums…distinctive…delicious…just the right blend of sadness and wit…a long stay on most listeners’ shelves.”
