As a Friday night kickoff to Black History Month, jazzy NYC duo Acute Inflections is bringing its brief U.S. tour, full of roaring \u201820s vibes, to Tampa\u2019s Carrollwood Cultural Center.<\/p>\n

This gig promises to capture the essence of the 1920s and the Harlem Renaissance, which helped lay the foundation for the Civil Rights movement. According to a press release, the show will include \u201cdynamic duets, clever comedy, and captivating freestyles\u201d between vocalist Elasea Douglas and upright bassist Sadiki Pierre.<\/p>\n

A portion of each ticket will go towards the Renaissance Youth Center, a non-profit in the South Bronx aiming to provide youth with music education.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s version of \u201cNature Boy\u201d<\/a> wouldn\u2019t really fit in \u201cMoulin Rouge!\u201d the way David Bowie\u2019s rendition of the Nat King Cole song famously did, but if younger artists like Jon Batiste<\/a> and Samara Joy<\/a> continue inspiring the next generation to indulge in jazz, Douglas and Pierre might be providing a good first step towards a resurgence for the Great American Songbook.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Acute Inflections play Tampa\u2019s Carrollwood Cultural Center on Friday, Jan. 30 are still available and cost $55.<\/a><\/p>\n
