Our Uptown Nights series continues with a highly anticipated collaboration between New York, by way of South Africa, jazz vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and GRAMMY-nominated jazz pianist Chris Pattishall, who join forces for a not-to-be-missed evening of music at Harlem Stage.

In this special duo presentation, Sotashe’s soulful vocals, described as “a bright tenor that can easily spring from sonorous depths to the full-bodied top of his impressive range” (The Atlantic Journal-Constitution), perfectly infuse with Pattishall’s “desire to push at the harmonic borders” (JazzTimes), creating a sensual vulnerability and intimacy. In a set that ranges from the Great American Songbook to South African Xhosa hymns to Stevie Wonder, Sotashe and Pattishall display their range as musicians, and artists as memory-keepers.
