On Saturday, May 11, the Jazz Maui 2024 Maui Music Series presents “More Classics from the Blue Note Jazz Era” with trumpeter Steve Dubey and The Maui Jazz Elements featuring John Zangrando on sax and flute, Mark Johnstone on piano, Ian Sheridan on bass, and Paul Marchetti on drums, at the ProArts Playhouse, 1280 S. Kihei Road, in Kihei. The show begins at 7:30pm and tickets are available at www.ProArtsMaui.org.
The second in a series, this evening of music celebrates the classic period of Blue Note Records and commemorates the 85th founding of the company. The Blue Note record company released more than 1000 albums from 1949 to 1966, and 900 of them have been labeled”classics” in the history of American jazz music. Legendary jazz icons such as Art Blakey, Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Cannonball Adderly, Hank Mobley, Ron Carter, Freddie Hubbard, Max Roach, Thelonious Monk and many more were recorded and their music preserved by Blue Note for future jazz lovers. The May 11th concert is an homage to the legacy of the artists who created the Blue Note sound and shaped this unique American tradition.
Trumpeter Steve Dubey has been an active member of the music community on the island of Kauai for the last three decades. He has appeared with many resident and visiting artists such as Michael Ruff, Lao Tizer, Tierney Sutton, Gabriel Espinosa, Taj Mahal, Howard Levy (of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), and others. He has been a pillar in Kauai's premier latin jazz/salsa ensemble Rumba De Fuego. More recently, he has appeared as a guest artist with Maui's own Angela and Phil Benoit, both on Maui and their West Coast tours.
John Zangrando, or “Johnny Z,” came to Maui in 1980 from New York and has been one of the busiest sax players on the island since. He has played or recorded with George Benson, John Mayall, Michael McDonald, Dionne Warwick, and Gladys Knight. He has also played with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Danny Gottlieb and Mark Egan of Elements and was musical director for singer Jon Hendricks for his Hawaii tour. Johnny Z plays tenor, alto, soprano, baritone and bass saxophones, as well as flute, piccolo, bass clarinet and electronic wind instrument (EWI).
Multi-instrumentalist Mark Johnstone is best known for his keyboard work with the Grammy-nominated Mick Fleetwood Blues Band and The Island Rumors Band. He can also be found in a variety of settings as a soloist or sideman, displaying skills on keys, guitar, harmonica and vocals. While working and touring with Mick Fleetwood he shared the stage with many accomplished artists such as Carlos Santana, Willie Nelson, John Mayall, Michael MacDonald, Alice Cooper, Steven Tyler, Dave Mason, Pat Simmons, Sammy Hagar and many more.
Ian Sheridan is a professional bassist, producer, and mixing engineer. Ian has performed and recorded with many artists including multiple Grammy winner Jason Mraz. Ian has produced and engineered many songs and albums that have received national radio airplay, charting, and commercial and media placement.
Well known on Maui, Paul Marchetti studied drums and percussion in New York and has performed and recorded with artists such as Mick Fleetwood, Eric Marienthal, Walter Becker, Michael McDonald, Michael Buble and many more. He started his career in 1973, touring and recording with Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. Marchetti has appeared on national and local television shows and recorded and toured with an international list of artists.

THE BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-HAWAII STUDIO ORCHESTRA
PERFORM FREE CONCERTS DURING MARCH
The Jazz Maui 2024 Maui Music Series Presents The Brigham Young University-Hawaii Studio Orchestra in free concerts featuring “The Happiest Songs on Earth” at 6pm Thursday, February 29 at the Royal Lahaina Resort and March 1 at Queen Ka’ahumanu Shopping Center, and at 6:30pm on Saturday, March 2 at King Kekaulike High School.
The BYU Studio Orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Daniel Henderson, is a full jazz orchestra of approximately 68 people (basically a big band with strings, harp, extra woodwinds, and extra percussion), including a few singers fronting the orchestra. It brings a fresh, fashionable and comedic new twist to the popular music of the golden age of jazz and Hollywood presenting light, lively and humorous music of the 1940s and 50s.
The Orchestra specializes in recovering and restoring unpublished, classic arrangements from archives and libraries, most of which have not been heard live on stage since they were recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and The Pied Pipers 60-80 years ago. Powered by years of archival and academic research, the orchestra’s repertoire has been recovered and restored by BYU-Hawaii music professors and students directly from the original, unpublished manuscripts that once belonged to the original artists. New choreography, costuming, and sketch comedy add to the music.
On Thursday, February 29, 2024 the concert takes place at 6pm at the Luau Grounds at the Royal Lahaina Resort in Ka’anapali. Concert goers should park at the Fairway Shops or Whalers Village and take the free shuttle to the hotel.
On Friday, March 1, the Orchestra performs at 6pm at Queen Ka’ahumanu Shopping Center in Kahului.
The concert on Saturday, March 2, begins at 6:30 when the orchestra performs with the King Kekaulike High School Jazz Band at the King K campus in Kula.
The Jazz Maui 2024 Maui Music Series is supported by the Hawaii Tourism Authority Community Enrichment Program.

The dynamic versatility of Colorado's Sheryl Renee comes from a literal lifetime in and around the entertainment business. An audience favorite, Sheryl moves effortlessly between music genres, artistic avenues, and her entrepreneurial pursuits. Her voice can be heard on hundreds of recordings and commercials. She gets great joy from nurturing and introducing extraordinary talent.
Tom received his first harmonica at the age of 15 in San Francisco as a Christmas gift.
Paul January got his first paying gig when he was 11 years old, playing piano for a children’s fashion show in Denver, Colorado. By 1972 he was attending music school, teaching piano and trumpet, and working every weekend, and when his former piano teacher said, “Let’s move to Vegas and play in the orchestras!” he was all in. By 1974 he realized that he couldn’t take the heat (literally as well as figuratively) and found a much more temperate climate and much nicer people in the Reno area, with still plenty of work in the field of music. He spent the next 46 years playing in various spots around Reno and Tahoe, as a single performer playing jazz, standards, and pop, or with groups as large as 17 playing everything from funk to big band jazz. He has had the privilege of working with some of the biggest names ever to grace the stages of Reno and Las Vegas, and has made many friends along the way. But when a global pandemic (we’re looking at you, COVID!) closes down your gig, what to do? The only logical answer is “Retire and move to Hawaii.”
