Description

BROTHERS Jazz Series featuring Nick Colionne The BROTHERS Jazz Series continues with internationally-acclaimed artist Nick Colionne. Nick Colionne "one of the genre's most tireless & explosive live performers" Although his smooth guitar chops and dynamic stage persona draw fans, Nick Colionne has balanced his over 20-year career with a dedication to teaching and mentoring students. Emerging in the '90s with his debut, It's My Turn, Colionne established himself as an in-demand player in the Chicago area, building upon the soulful jazz style of idols like Wes Montgomery, George Benson, and Grover Washington, Jr. At the same time, he balanced his love of music with a commitment to teaching, working with K-8 students in his home base of Elgin, Illinois. Over the years, he has earned accolades for both pursuits, including being awarded a Wayman Tisdale Humanitarian Award in 2010 and topping smooth jazz charts the following year with his Feel the Heat album. At the behest of his stepfather, Colionne picked up the guitar when he was nine years old. A professional touring artist by the age of 15, he spent much of his youth on the road, touring with such legendary acts as the Staple Singers, Curtis Mayfield, the Impressions, and others. Although music was his passion, getting an education was also a primary focus for Colionne. After high school, he graduated from Chicago's Malcolm X College and became an elementary-school teacher. Along with performing, he worked for over 15 years at St. Laurence Elementary School in Elgin, Illinois as a music teacher and counselor. In 1996 he received the Malcolm X College Alumnus of the Year Award from his alma mater for his continued dedication to mentoring students. 52 reservations are available per dining session, and reservations must be booked in pairs in advance (2 guests per table).
