Art of Jazz: Sta.La.V.

Charleston Jazz is pleased to partner with the Gibbes Museum on the Art of Jazz music series!

The highly anticipated Art of Jazz Series is where art and music collide.  A collaboration with the Gibbes Museum, this annual three-concert series showcases original jazz music inspired by works on display at the museum.  This one-of-a-kind musical experience has become very popular and sells out fast.

About the Sta.La.V.:

Stachia (Sta.La.V.) Simmons was born into a musical family, and began playing drums in church at the age of 2 and has been playing ever since. A powerhouse vocalist/instrumentalist, producer, and harmonic arranger, Stachia has performed with several notables in the gospel industry and other Lowcountry favorites, such as Quiana Parler, Charlton Singleton, and national jazz saxophonist Paul Shiltz. Her audiences can expect a night of creative expression…from Soul to Jazz, Gospel, Funk and Reggae.
