About this event
Chicago based duo, vocalist Petra von Nuis and pianist Dennis Luxion, have been noted for their “seamless camaraderie” (Chicago Jazz Magazine). Dennis is best known for being Chet Baker’s pianist during a European tour and for making six recordings together. Dennis’s recent overseas performances include a tour of Southern Africa as part of the Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad, administered by Jazz at Lincoln Center. Petra has been praised for possessing “a light, gorgeous and fairly delicate voice . . . a gift for melody and plenty of rhythmic confidence” (DownBeat Magazine). Petra is known for her celebrated Recession Seven band and her intimate duo with husband, guitarist Andy Brown. After countless gigs together Petra and Dennis collaborated with “Because We’re Night People”, a collection of evening related songs. The CD was awarded 4 stars and included in the Best of 2019” issue of DownBeat Magazine. They continue with their Saturday night residency at Le Piano nightclub and with their latest recording, “From Me to You”. Register at rmlib.org
