SUMMARY:Buddy Guy
DESCRIPTION:Soul of Buffalo Proudly Presents\nBUDDY GUY 90\nSat JULY 18\, 2026 | 7pm\nLiving Legend Makes 1st Appearance at Kleinhans for His 90th Birthday!\nMore than 57 years after his first known appearance in Buffalo\, NY – at blues guitarist James Paterson’s Governor’s Inn at 621 Sycamore St. in March\, 1969 – and then again during the 1969 Buffalo Blues Festival\, July 11-13\, 1969\, when he was just 33 years old – with co-headliners Muddy Waters\, Howlin’ Wolf\, James Cotton Blues Band\, Luthor Allison and Junior Wells – Living Blues Legend BUDDY GUY celebrates his 90th birthday 12 days early in historic fashion at KLEINHANS MUSIC HALL\, Buffalo\, NY on Saturday\, July 18\, 2026 at 7pm. \nBuddy Guy stands as one of the most influential guitarists in American music. As a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a pioneer of Chicago’s explosive West Side sound\, he has been a guiding force for generations of rock & blues legends. \nThe nine-time GRAMMY winner has also earned a Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY\, 38 Blues Music Awards\, the Billboard Century Award\, the Presidential National Medal of Arts\, and the Kennedy Center Honor. Rolling Stone ranks him #23 on “The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.” \nBorn in 1936 in Lettsworth\, Louisiana\, Buddy built his first two-string guitar at age seven. His life changed in 1957 when he moved to Chicago and began recording for Chess Records and collaborating with its legendary roster. His raw emotion\, showmanship\, and blistering guitar style reshaped the instrument’s possibilities and set a new standard for electric blues. \nRemarkably\, in 2025 – after a career which includes 110 albums\, singles and live recordings – he released Ain’t Done with the Blues\, produced by longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge\, another Buffalo favorite. The record features The Blind Boys of Alabama\, Peter Frampton\, Joe Walsh\, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram\, and Joe Bonamassa. Its lead single\, “How Blues Is That?” reaffirmed the grit\, humor\, and wisdom that define his late-career longevity. \nAs Buddy shared\, “This album is about where I’ve been and where I’m going… Before they passed\, Muddy\, Wolf\, Walter\, Sonny Boy\, B.B. used to say\, ‘If you outlive me\, just keep the blues alive.’ I’m trying to keep that promise.” \nAin’t Done drew widespread acclaim\, praising Buddy as “masterful\,” “vital\,” and “one of the last of the great bluesmen.” Around the same time\, his appearance in Ryan Coogler’s blockbuster movie SINNERS introduced him to yet another generation. \nNow\, as he celebrates his 90th year\, Buddy Guy remains one of the last surviving architects of electric blues; a bridge from the fields of Louisiana to the clubs of Chicago and the world’s biggest stages. Whether creating new music\, inspiring rising artists\, or electrifying audiences with a fire that has defined him for nearly a century\, Buddy Guy continues to show that the blues not only lives\, it thrives. \nTickets prices for BUDDY GUY 90 start at only $55\, plus fees. Don’t miss the BIGGEST BLUES show of 2026 in our hometown!

SUMMARY:Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves
DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall and JazzBuffalo present\nBranford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves\nCelebrate The Ballads of John Coltrane\nThursday\, April 22\, 2027 | 7 PM\nMain Hall\, Kleinhans Music Hall\nSome music asks to be heard. John Coltrane’s ballads ask to be felt. \nOn April 22\, 2027\, at 7 pm\, Kleinhans Music Hall and JazzBuffalo present an extraordinary and deeply moving musical event as two NEA Jazz Masters and multiple Grammy Award winners — Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves — come together to celebrate the timeless ballads of John Coltrane\, which they have recorded and will release on the centennial of Coltrane’s birth this September. \nThis is not a retrospective. It is not a recreation. \nIt is a living\, breathing artistic conversation centered on some of the most intimate and emotionally transcendent music ever recorded in jazz. \nAt the heart of the evening is the landmark 1963 recording John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman — a masterwork of tenderness and restraint that revealed Coltrane’s profoundly romantic and melodic voice. Pairing his searching tenor saxophone with Hartman’s velvet baritone\, the album remains one of the most beloved ballad recordings in jazz and American Music history — and the only studio album in which Coltrane featured a vocalist. \nIn this rare collaboration\, the Branford Marsalis Quartet and Dianne Reeves revisit this sacred repertoire while honoring the broader lyricism\, depth\, romantic\, and spiritual resonance of Coltrane’s ballad legacy. \nThe collaboration will also be captured in a forthcoming recording of timeless ballads—including selections from the historic John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman—set for release this September in celebration of the centennial of John Coltrane’s birth\, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience this deeply expressive music reimagined by Branford Marsalis and Dianne Reeves. \nAs part of a limited world tour — including Carnegie Hall in New York City\, The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto\, The Concertgebouw in Amsterdam\, Munich’s Gasteig\, and the 60th Barcelona Jazz Festival — Buffalo stands among a select number of U.S. cities chosen to host this remarkable engagement. \nThe Main Hall of Kleinhans Music Hall provides the perfect setting. Its warmth and acoustical clarity allow music of this intimacy to bloom fully — every breath\, every phrase\, every nuance suspended in space. \nBranford Marsalis brings commanding tone\, interpretive intelligence\, and emotional authority to Coltrane’s music. Dianne Reeves\, one of the most celebrated vocalists of her generation\, brings unparalleled expressive depth — her voice capable of both quiet vulnerability and soaring declaration. Together\, they illuminate the tenderness\, romance\, and quiet spiritual power that define Coltrane’s ballads. \nThis evening promises lyricism. It promises beauty. It promises emotional connection at the highest artistic level. \nFor Jazz at Kleinhans\, this performance represents a defining moment in our continued commitment to presenting world-class artistry in Buffalo — concerts that resonate long after the final note fades. \nBuffalo is proud to be one of the few cities welcoming this landmark collaboration. \nSeats for an event of this magnitude are expected to move quickly. \nEarly reserved seating is strongly encouraged. \nAbout Branford Marsalis \nFrom his initial recognition as a young jazz lion\, Branford Marsalis has expanded his vision as an instrumentalist\, composer\, bandleader\, and educator\, crossing stylistic boundaries while maintaining an unwavering creative integrity. In the process\, he has become an avatar of contemporary artistic excellence\, winning three Grammy Awards\, a Tony nomination for his work as a composer on Broadway\, a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as Jazz Master\, and a 2021 Primetime Emmy nomination for the score he composed for the Tulsa Burning documentary. \nAbout Dianne Reeves \nFive-time Grammy winner Dianne Reeves is one of the world’s premier jazz singers. With her improvisational virtuosity and unique jazz and R&B style\, Reeves won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance for three consecutive recordings\, winning the first Grammy in a vocal category. She was featured in George Clooney’s award-winning film Goodnight and Good Luck\, for which she received a Grammy. Reeves holds honorary doctorates from DePaul University\, the Berklee College of Music\, and the Juilliard School. Like Marsalis\, she was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts – the highest distinction awarded to jazz artists in the USA.
