On Friday, May 2 at 8pm ARTSomerville presents an evening of jazz song with artists Celia Slattery, Allyssa Jones and Sandi Hammond. $10 suggested donation.
Both classic and a little off-beat, Celia Slattery's music blends pop, jazz, and folk-rock, with a dash of theatrical flair. Her expressive voice is framed by Mark Shilansky's sophisticated arrangements of both originals and covers by artists like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. In live performance, Celia weaves her music with stories and humor to share perspectives on love, hope, and the state of the world. http://celiaslattery.com

Allyssa Jones was named one of Boston Magazine's "40 Bostonians to Watch" in 2002. Her belief in the movement to add new material to the Great American Songbook is the driving force behind her band's innovation and energy. Popular at both jazz and original music venues, Allyssa Jones is available for shows and promotional events wherever audiences are craving something new. http://www.allyssajones.com

Singer/songwriter Sandi Hammond first started writing pop songs at age 11. In her late teens she graced the stages of Tanglewood, Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall while performing with several professional choral groups. Now a gifted classically trained singer/songwriter, and a fine musician on keyboards and guitar, she touches audiences with her prolific and impressive repertoire of unique melodic songs. http://www.sandihammond.com

At 8pm on Saturday, May 3, ARTSomerville presents a jazz evening with Steve Thomas & the Co-Conspirators. $10 suggested donation.
Steve Thomas (vocals, songs), Rich Greenblatt (vibraphone), David Vermette (electric bass), Gary Fieldman (drums)
Steve Thomas and the Co-Conspirators play Steve’s original jazz songs from their CD, SPIRITS PASSING THROUGH—songs inflected by Brazilian music, New Orleans second line, reggae, funk, and old blues guys—plus arrangements of tunes by Miles, Steve Lacy, and Wayne Shorter. The Co-Cons are a jazz band—so improvising, group interaction, swing, and building up a head of steam are all important. http://www.stevethomasjazz.com/
On Sunday, May 4 at 7:30pm, ARTSomerville presents a madcap capper to Jazz Week at the Nave with jazz and circus by The Emperor Norton Stationary Marching Band. $5 suggested donation.
Formed from the most talented deadbeats and drifters that could be rounded up, Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band is a group of raucous and rambunctious musicians that will honk, wail, blow, beat, bounce, scream and serenade their way into your hearts. This 11-piece ensemble plays an eclectic repertoire that combines the rich musical history of the circus and the vagabond peoples of Europe with the raw energy of avant-garde jazz and the irreverence and fun of today's Vaudeville for a sound that is somehow familiar yet like no other. http://www.ensmb.com/
