Dee Lucas: "Twenty" Album Release Concert with special guest David Marq

Live Music Nightlife Jazz Music

What’s Happening?

DEE LUCAS: National recording artist and saxophonist Dee Lucas has been noted as the hardest working indie artist in contemporary jazz while steadily growing his brand and fan base beginning with Remembrance in 2004, and since then it's been a steady showcase of unique stylings with Something to Ride 2 (2007), Standing Room Only (2010), Rebirth of the Smooth (2012), The Smooth Factor (2014), Going Deeper (2016), The Sweet Spot (2017), Going Left (2018), and the critically-acclaimed The Time Is Now (2020), No Boundaries (2023), and now Twenty (2024).

“The Time Is Now” marked his 9th worldwide release and is arguably considered his best work to date. It features some of the brightest producers and special guest artists in Adam Hawley, Blake Aaron, Darryl Williams, David P. Stevens, Lew Laing, Jr., Gino Rosaria, & George Freeman.  Dee’s latest album has been positioned on several music charts including the Billboard Top 20 Smooth Jazz charts. It also was recently nominated for the Indie Soul Smooth Jazz Album of the Year award.

As a runner-up in the 2007 Capital Jazz Festival Competition, Dee Lucas has co-billed with an extensive number of artists such as Boney James, Norman Brown, Ronnie Laws, Nnenna Freelon, Hugh Masekela, Gregg Karukas, Peter White, Nick Colionne, Michael Franks, Peabo Bryson, Miki Howard, The Manhattans, and Howard Hewett just name a few. He has performed at several jazz festivals such as The Arizona Jazz Festival, The Jacksonville Jazz Festival, The Savannah Jazz Festival, The Atlanta Jazz Festival, & The Myrtle Beach Jazz Festival.

DAVID MARQ:  Well known to contemporary jazz audiences throughout the U.S. and beyond for his many years performing with R&B and jazz luminaries like Brian Culbertson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Maysa Leak, Ledisi, Cabo Frio, and the David Bach Consort, Marq gives heartfelt and grooving praise to Scarborough with fresh interpretations of many of his idol's greatest hits as well as more obscure, though no less powerful, gems from his vast catalog of songs.

Marq, whose musical arsenal includes flute, clarinet, and EWI wind synthesizer, put his unique stamp on a virtual hit parade of Scarborough delights from the songwriter's massive body of work that includes over 200 certified gold or platinum singles: "Giving You the Best That I Got" (which earned Scarborough a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1988), "Love Ballad," "It's Alright with Me," "Lovely Day," "Can't Hide Love," and "Don't Ask My Neighbors."

Beyond those songs that the world can sing by heart, the saxman goes deep to unearth the magic of lesser-known gems like "Spirit of Love" (Con Funk Shun), "Love Changes" (Mother's Finest and more notably by Kashif with Melis'a Morgan), "No One Can Love You More" (Phyllis Hyman), and "Loving You, Loving Me" and "Anything for Your Love," two songs recorded on Nancy Wilson's 1997 Columbia album If I Had My Way. The collection includes vocal tracks by Alton – who sings a stirring rendition of the inspirational classic "They Say" – and Scarborough's son Marc on the bonus version of "Love Ballad." The project also features an exclusive guest vocal on the bonus track of "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.
