Hailing from Azerbaijan, the New Orleans by way of New York based Amina Figarova is an internationally influenced—and recognized—composer, pianist, and bandleader. Those three roles come to the forefront in Figarova’s sextets, bands with a remarkable chemistry that brings her detailed arrangements to life. Every member of the group stands out as a first-rate individual, but their dedication to Figarova’s eclectic and powerful compositions gives the group its depth of feeling and elite status. The Amina Figarova Sextet has been a hit at major festivals like the Newport Jazz Festival and New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.   On her most recent album, released in Fall 2022 on AmFi Records, Figarova seeks to inspire a more optimistic and positive future on with "JOY."  Joy is a return to the acoustic piano setting following the groove-heavy electronic excursion of her previous album, 2020's "Persistence."    The Amina Figarova Sextet tonight features:  Amina Figarova - piano  Bart Platteau - flutes  Alex Pope Norris - trumpet  Rex Gregory - saxophones   Amina Scott - bass  Ryan Sands - drums    Shows at 7:30pm & 9:30pm  Doors at 7:00pm & 9:00pm       Restaurant is Open 5pm - 10pm for dinner before or after your showtime: Advance Ticket Holders can now automatically make dinner table reservations for the Dining Room online via OpenTable.com !
