Jazz Guitarist Jacques Lesure

FRIDAY,
JANUARY 3RD.  Guitarist Jacques
Lesure began his journey in search of the artistic truth and freedom of Jazz.
Being born in Detroit Michigan to hard-working parents, Jacques was instantly
immersed into a rich stew of influential musical icons. The music of Motown
along with the echoes of jazz legends (like Kenny Burrell, Elvin, Thad and Hank
Jones, Betty Carter, Donald Byrd, Geri Allen and Milt Jackson) and the
spiritual foundation of Gospel greats like Rev. C.L. Franklin, Fred Hammond and
The Winans have indeed impacted the abundance of aria that Jacques now shares
with the world.

Currently a
resident of Los Angeles, California, throughout his travels Mr. Lesure has
performed with many great musical luminaries such as Kenny Burrell, Oscar Brown
Jr., Jimmy Smith, Stanley Turrentine, Freddy Cole, Wynton Marsalis, George
Benson, Jack McDuff, Les McCann, Carmen Lundy, Oliver Lake, and many others,
rounding off an almost endless roll-call of artists that he has shared the
stage with.  This is Jacques’ exclusive Atlanta
appearance and he looks forward to bringing friends and fans the music of his
new release:  When She Smiles.  Showtimes: 
7:30pm and 9:30pm.  Purchase
