Midweek at the Empress Marquee Club hits a different kind of groove as Jazz Synergy takes the stage for a night where deep blues, soul, and jazz come together the way they’re meant to — live, loose, and locked in.

This isn’t background music. This is a band built on feel, chemistry, and players who know how to listen as much as they play.

On keys, Simon Russell brings rich textures and classic soul phrasing that anchor the sound while leaving space for the music to breathe.

Behind the kit, Wilson Brooks drives the band with dynamic control and groove-first energy — from subtle pocket to full blues push.

On guitar, Paul Branin delivers tone, taste, and melodic fire, blending blues phrasing with jazz sensibility.

Together, Jazz Synergy creates exactly what the name promises — a conversation between players. Songs evolve, solos stretch, and the energy builds naturally as the band locks in and the room leans in with them.

Pair that with dinner service and cocktails, and you’ve got a night that feels more like a session than a show — intimate, alive, and completely in the moment.
