A Tribute to James Clay
RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THIS EVENT.
Artists honoring the nationally and internationally acclaimed Clay at our second tribute include multi-instrumentalist ROGER BOYKIN, who knew Clay the longest; vocalist SANDRA KAYE; drummers DUANE DURRETT & ROBERT STEWART; pianists JOHNNY CASE & KELLY DURBIN; bassists JAMES GILYARD & ALEX CAMP; and
guitarists JIM SHANNON & CLINT STRONG. RACHAELLA PARKS (schedule permitting) and other special guests hope to join them as they play with the spirit of real jazz that was always the deep, soulful essence of Clay’s music. Johnny Case states: “He was the greatest jazz musician I’ve worked with, and I’ve played with a few whose names are better-known.”

James Clay worked and recorded with numerous acknowledged jazz greats including Wynton Kelly, Don Cherry, Billy Higgins, Sonny Clark, Victor Feldman, Cedar Walton, Charlie Haden, David “Fathead” Newman, Wes Montgomery, Ray Charles, Hank Crawford, Dewey Redman and others. A highlight of this year’s tribute will be hearing Roger Boykin read Ornette Coleman’s words of praise for James Clay sent expressly for this event.
