Building upon the musical reputation of the Nightfall Concert Series, a new series of Thursday evening jazz shows called the “Nightfall Jazz Café,” featuring a variety of celebrated jazz artists, will be held at the indoor venue of The Granfaloon, at 400 East Main Street. Lisa Anita Baker’s band will be the weekly house band and feature a special guest artist headliner.
On Thursday, June 27, the series will open with a show featuring contemporary jazz singer and keyboardist Allen Cook. An Atlanta-based artist, Cook is described as having a ‘high originality index’, with his stylistic approach reminiscent of musical greats Al Jarreau, Sting, Stevie Wonder, and Bill Withers.
In the midst of regularly performing, he writes and records his own music. Allen was called upon to arrange, compose additional music for, and serve as musical director for the theater production of ‘WINTERGLOW’, performed at the Morton Theater in Athens, GA, in coordination with The Classic Center. One of his most recent projects was composer and music director for the stage production of ‘LINNENTOWN The Musical’ which made its first appearance April 2024 there.
Cook also performs as lead singer in The Weekend Getaway Band and in the 3rd Stream Big Band, including both ‘Ray Charles’ and ‘Stevie Wonder’ tributes at the Red Clay Music Foundry.
