Last year the The Brussels Jazz Orchestra (BJO) and KennyWerner released their collaborative album Institute of Higher Learningon Half Note Records. Werner and the BJO will unite with special guest saxophonist Chris Potter to perform music from this album, as well as other selections at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York on Tuesday, March 27th through Saturday, March 31st.. The the BJO is not the kind of jazz orchestra that sticks to standards. It prefers to achieve the highest artistic level by composing original music, creating unique arrangements and playing inventively as well as passionately. This band plays jazz with a dynamic orchestral sound, with a classic strength in which each musician is also a brilliant soloist. Call it an "orchestrated passion for jazz" that incites the BJO to create world-class music.

"Pharoah is a man of large spiritual reservoir, always trying to reach out to truth. He's trying to allow his spiritual self to be his guide. He's dealing, among other things, in energy, in integrity, in essences." - John Coltrane

"If there's anyone who has that quality of freedom, it's Pharoah. He's probably the best tenor player in the world." - Ornette Coleman

Pharoah Sanders

Jazz legend Pharoah Sanders will appear for four nights at Birdland on Tuesday, March 20th through Saturday , March 24th with sets at 8:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. nightly. Pharoah Sanders possesses one of the most distinctive tenor saxophone sounds in jazz. Harmonically rich and heavy with overtones, Sanders' sound can be as raw and abrasive as it is possible for a saxophonist to produce, and although he made his name with expressionistic, nearly anarchic free jazz in John Coltrane's late ensembles of the mid-'60s, Sanders' later music continues to thrill and inspire.

Dubbed “the natural heir to the Boss Tenor crown worn so long and so well by Gene Ammons” (Bob Porter), global performer Houston is as eclectic as he is talented, Person has recorded everything from disco and gospel to pop and r&b, in addition to his trademark, soulful hard bop. After years as producer and house tenor for HighNote Records and touring with the late Etta Jones, Person is now known for his full tone and as a master of popular standards played in a relaxed, highly accessible style. The Houston Person Quartet (which also features John Di Martino on piano, Ray Drummond on bass, and  Lewis Nash, drums) will kick off the Jazz Standard's 10th anniversary celebration at the Jazz Standard on Tuesday, March 14th through Friday, March 16th.
