Parris Lane’s Jazz Renaissance returns for another night of jazz music and performances at the historic Geoffrey’s Inner Circle. The Emmy Nominated actress/singer, producer, and award-winning film director brings a night full of singing, dancing, laughter, and a walk down memory lane of the famous Harlem New York Cotton Club.
As part of a residency at Geoffrey’s Inner Circle, the Jazz Renaissance will spotlight special guest performances by the dynamic singing trio Brown, Sturgis & Brown. Known for their showcase revival, the trio’s performance is reminiscent of Rat Pack era classic stage shows. The group is regularly featured at the famous Monterey Jazz Festival.
Mark Brown’s incomparable voice has performed for notables such as Beb Winans, Patti Labelle, and Carlos Santana. Patrick Sturgis has been sparkling among stars as a singer since his first solo performance at the age of eight. The engineer, by day, contributes his smooth voice to the American Jazz standards of the group, as well as his amazing piano skills.
Nona Brown’s remarkable career is not just as a singer but a songwriter as well. In 2019 she ranked #14 and #21 on the Billboard chart list with “Songs from My Journal Vol. 1.” She is a 2022 Telly Award Winner, and arranged and performed background vocals on the Grammy’s 2022 Award-Winning Children’s Album by Falu, “A Colorful World.” Nona was the first black woman to be elected President of the San Francisco Chapter of the Recording Academy.
Complete with other guest performances throughout the show, Parris’ Jazz Renaissance graces the audience with a grand finale that features the Bay area’s only traditional brass band, spearheaded by a New Orleans native, the Twilight Brass Band. Their fearless leader, Harold “Homeboy” Wilson, brings five generations of authentic New Orleans Brass Band experience in traditional brass band music to the event.
