Carol Albert
In a genre where an artist’s success is generally measured by radio airplay spins and Billboard chart positions, pianist/composer Carol Albert’s recent Hit Album “Magic Mirror” has 3 Top 5 Billboard Hits to date. Billboard #1 “Paradigm Shift”, “Magic Mirror” and “Fire & Water” gained national recognition in the Contemporary Jazz world since the release of the Album. Other Top 5 singles “Perfect Sunday” and “Stronger Now” – from her 2020 full length album Stronger Now – have crossed over to massive numbers in a metric usually touted by mainstream pop stars. Currently, “Perfect Sunday” has over 7.9M streams on Spotify and “Stronger Now” has over 2.9M. The album’s other radio hits include the Top 5 hit “Femme Flight,” which featured flutist Ragan Whiteside and saxophonist Magdalena Chovancova and earned Carol a new legion of fans via extensive airplay on SiriusXM’s Watercolors.
Since establishing herself as smooth jazz mainstay in 2017, one of Carol’s unique trademarks has been writing and recording songs that both chronicle and express her own emotions and thoughtfully reflect upon the world around her.

Surrounded by southern rock and country rock bands, husband and wife. team, Terry and Venae Ellis, brought together a group of talented musicians who were passionate about playing old school funk and R&B along with jazz music. With John Taylor, as the band’s music director and cousin Greg Wilson as the vocal director we are looking forward to a new direction. Kharisma has developed a loyal and diverse fan base who frequently asked when Kharisma would be releasing their next album. In response, the work has begun.
The success of the band as a whole is a family unit with over 80 years of combined years in the music business. It is truly a beautiful thing. All of the Kharisma Jazzmatic Funk band members are excited about officially launching new and upcoming projects. We look forward to seeing you at our next concert.
Roman Street
Brothers Noah and Josh Thompson put their guitars together to form Roman Street. Since the college years, this brotherly jam session has developed into a Billboard/iTunes charting band who many have dubbed ‘the next generation’ of Jazz Fusion. Roman Street, named for an old roman street in the Alps where they studied guitar, is an internationally trained instrumental band specializing in improvisational fusion of Classical, Gypsy and Contemporary Jazz, Latin, and Nuevo Flamenco. A departure from the over-produced music that is out there today, they keep it simple—the beautifully organic sound of acoustic instruments played by talented people who love what they are doing. Whether performing as a guitar duo, or with a backing band, Roman Street astounds with music that appeals to fans of many genres.
