Catherine Russell and Friends

About the Concert

Two-time Grammy Award–winning vocalist Catherine Russell marks her 70th birthday with a joyful celebration honoring the music, the mentors, and the moments that have shaped her remarkable career. Born into a true royal family of jazz—her mother, Carline Ray, was a member of the pioneering International Sweethearts of Rhythm, and her father, Luis Russell, served as music director for Louis Armstrong’s big band in the 30s and 40s—Russell embodies jazz greatness across generations. She brings together a group of cherished collaborators and lifelong friends, welcoming audiences into the music with unmistakable warmth, class, and a deep sense of family.
