Late Night Concert Series w/Singer Meets Saxophonist

Showtimes:   10:30pm-11:45pm

Singer Meets Saxophonist’ is the brainchild of acclaimed Saxophonist Christopher McBride, in which some of the top vocalists and musicians in New York collaborate for fantastic evenings of music. When Christopher arrived in New York from Chicago in 2013, he wanted to work with more vocalists, create a rapport as well as learn more singer repertoire. In 2014, the monthly series was started at Therapy Wine Bar in Brooklyn. In the 18 months that followed, Christopher got the chance to work with vocalists such as PHER, Emily Braden, Milton Suggs, Charles Turner, Melanie Charles, Shenel Johns, Wayne Tucker, J Hoard, Antoinette Montague, and other well-known vocalists and instrumentalists who made a point to stop by. These musicians helped craft a vibe similar to a jam session, much to the delight of the audience.

When the Series moved to Harlem at Minton’s Playhouse in 2017, the weekly Sunday night series featured a vocalist hosted by CNOTE (Christopher McBride, Jonathan Edward Thomas, and Curtis Nowosad), an organ trio that has fantastic chemistry and played twice a week in the East Village for over a year.

From March of 2017 to August of 2019, Sunday nights at Minton‘s Playhouse turned into the place to hear great live music weekly. The New York Times described the house band (Organ Group CNOTENYC) as “part of a network of fabulous young musicians in New York”. The affinity and sincerity of all the musicians create inspiring works appreciated by musicians and patrons alike.

Since 2019 this series has shifted to clubs and performing arts centers throughout the US. McBride is excited to bring ‘Singer Meets Saxophonist’ back to Andy’s and the city of Chicago. The format stays the same: for this evening professional musicians and vocalists are encouraged to stop by and sit in our Late-Night set. Please join us for two exciting nights of music!
