It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to delve into the inner workings of jazz with legends like Chris Potter. An esteemed leader in his craft, he is one of the most sought-after saxophonists in the world. Whether you are a musician looking to glean insight and new skills, or a die-hard jazz fan who wants an up-close window into the life of one of the most respected players in the global scene, this one-day-only masterclass is for you. Bring your burning questions and your autograph pens!

“I try not to allow myself any preconceived ideas of what I should sound like, what kind of music I ought to be writing, or what I ought to be listening to. In this way, I hope to discover what I actually do sound like, and what I enjoy in music. The moments of greatest beauty and originality always seem to happen when there’s no agenda.”
–Chris Potter

A world-class soloist, accomplished composer, and formidable bandleader, saxophonist Chris Potter has emerged as a leading light of his generation. DownBeat called him “One of the most studied (and copied) saxophonists on the planet” while Jazz Times identified him as “a figure of international renown.” Jazz sax elder statesman Dave Liebman called him simply, “one of the best musicians around,” a sentiment shared by the readers of DownBeat in voting him second only to tenor sax great Sonny Rollins in the magazine’s 2008 Readers Poll.

TIP OF THE HAT AWARD WINNER: GEORGE KENNY
[SOURCE: Charleston Jazz Initiative] George Kenny, a native Charlestonian, received his first musical experience as a trumpet player at Burke High School in Charleston. He later trained as a saxophonist after enlisting in the United States Air Force (Korea), before attending South Carolina State College (now South Carolina State University) and earning a bachelor of science degree in music education.

Kenny was a band director for Charleston County schools for thirty-two years before retiring in 1991. He taught at Laing High School, C. A. Brown High School, Burke High School, Courtney Middle School, and the Jenkins Orphanage. While at C.A. Brown High School, the school’s musical production of Hello Dolly (1970) was the first to sell every seat at Charleston’s Gaillard Auditorium for three performances.
Kenny has performed as bass violinist for the Ebony Fashion Fair for several years and with such musical greats as Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass, and Dizzy Gillespie. He has also performed for the Piccolo Spoleto Festival, MOJA Arts Festival, and with most of the jazz musicians in the Charleston area. Currently, Mr. Kenny plays with the Davis Archer Band at major hotels and island resorts and is the director of the Melody Chimes Ensemble at Calvary Episcopal Church in Charleston. He has been featured in two motion picture films — The Notebook and Consenting Adults.
CJI’s Jack McCray lists him in his 2007 book, Charleston Jazz. He performed with CJI’s Legends Band in 2010 and is featured on its first CD recording. Kenny prefers to be called a “Good Sideman” as his ensemble career has spanned over 50 years.

Big Band Sounds Collaborate with Vibraphone Grooves
Blue Note recording artist Stefon Harris is coming to Charleston
The Charleston Jazz Orchestra is delighted to present a highly requested collaboration of big band and vibraphone. Grammy-nominated artist Stefon Harris will headline the evening, showcasing unparalleled dexterity as he draws both whimsical and spirited melodies from his instrument. Harris’ performances are both sonically and visually captivating, and will have you on the edge of your seat the entire show.
Stefon Harris is a renowned jazz vibraphonist, composer, educator and recording artist signed to the prestigious Blue Note record label. Harris’ 2003 album entitled The Grand Unification Theory received the coveted Martin E. Segal award from Jazz at Lincoln Center. Stefon has collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Diana Krall, Norah Jones, and Janis Siegle (Manhattan Transfer) and has toured as a member of the SFJazz Collective.

“One of the most important artists in jazz” –Los Angeles Times

“The standout vibraphonist of his generation.” – The New Yorker

Concert Length: 90 min (no intermission)
This performance is made possible, in part, by a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for a Grants for Arts Projects award.
Often hailed as one of the top things to do in Charleston, SC, attending a Charleston Jazz Orchestra concert is an unforgettable experience. If you are new to the jazz genre and big band style, take a risk and surprise yourself. Our director Robert Lewis will guide you through the nuances and significance of each piece, sharing stories behind the songs and composers. Many arrangements have been specially created by our own orchestra members and can’t be heard anywhere else in the world. You can get a taste of past performances on our YouTube channel here.
When you step through the doors of the Charleston Music Hall you are stepping back in time into a circa 1849 train station, historically known as the Tower Depot. You will hear the iconic sounds of jazz wafting through the lobby, reminiscent of the city’s rich jazz history. Stop by one of the lobby bars on the lower or upper lever to purchase snacks, beer, wine or soft drinks to bring with you into the theatre. Our friendly ushers will greet you and assist you in finding your way to your seats – there’s not a bad seat in the house!
Our audience is diverse and you will see patrons of all ages and walks of life, including couples, singles, students, families, and groups of friends – jazz has never met a stranger and all are welcome. Many of our guests are tourists visiting Charleston, and some of our regular attendees have been coming to concerts since the beginning of the organization. We hope that you will become one of our “regulars” as well by joining the Charleston Jazz family by becoming a Season Subscriber, Member, Sponsor, Donor, Student or Advertiser. There is a place for YOU at Charleston Jazz.

I have been a season ticket holder since the inception of Charleston Jazz Orchestra for many wonderful reasons. The caliber of performances are spectacular. Their musical selections appeal to all musical tastes regardless of age. The Music Hall is the perfect venue for such a group of phenomenal artists.

Terrence Blanchard is a world-renowned jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader whose career spans over four decades. Renowned for his artistry and innovation, Blanchard is a boundary-breaking force in jazz, opera, and film, crafting music that addresses both historical and contemporary American tragedies.
An eight-time Grammy winner and two-time Oscar nominee, Blanchard has scored over 60 films, collaborated extensively with Spike Lee, and made history as the first Black composer to have an opera performed at the Metropolitan Opera with Fire Shut Up in My Bones. TheaterMania hailed him as “the most exciting American composer working in opera today.”
Born in New Orleans in 1962, Blanchard launched his solo career in the 1990s, releasing 20 albums and earning 15 Grammy nominations. His works, including the civil rights-inspired Breathless, amplify issues of racial and social justice. In 2024, he was named an NEA Jazz Master and inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Currently serving as Executive Artistic Director of SFJAZZ, Blanchard continues to redefine genres, using his music to inspire, challenge, and uplift audiences worldwide.
