Rodney Strong Vineyards Concert Series: Al Jarreau and George Duke Trio
Amazing wines, breathtaking views and concerts with contemporary artists – there’s no better way to enjoy a Sonoma County summer than at Rodney Strong’s annual Summer Concert Series presented in association with Omega Events. Surrounded by acres of beautiful vineyards, guests will enjoy top performers while picnicking at the winery’s intimate concert venue, The Green.
AL JARREAU
Al Jarreau's voice is a world-class instrument that's been making beautiful music for over four decades. A quintessential crossover artist, Al Jarreau is the only singer ever to win GRAMMY Awards in three different genres - R&B, pop, and jazz (his latest GRAMMY came at the 2007 ceremony, when he was honored with Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance). Jazzreview.com recently wrote, 'Al Jarreau is synonymous with great vocal acrobatics and a velvety smooth tone that makes people of all listening experiences equally enjoy his music. His voice is not only instantly recognizable, but fluid, soulful, funky, romantic, and joyous.'
GEORGE DUKE
The scope of keyboardist-composer-producer George Duke's imprint on jazz and pop music over the past forty years is almost impossible to calculate. He has collaborated with some of the most prominent figures in the industry. A producer since the 1980s, he has crafted scores of fine recordings - many of them GRAMMY winners - for artists representing almost every corner of the contemporary American music landscape. Duke has also composed and recorded numerous scores for film and television and was the musical director for the Soul Train Music Awards and the Soul Train TV show, for nine years.
