This week we proudly welcome Entourage Jazz back to our stage!
Since 2009, Entourage Jazz (EJAZZ), has captivated New Mexico audiences with their stylish performances and timeless sound. Beloved by jazz enthusiasts across the state, the band has been consistently recognized for excellence, earning titles such as “Best of the City – Best Local Band” by Albuquerque the Magazine (2022) and “Albuquerque’s Best Jazz Band” by the Weekly Alibi Best of Burque Music Showcase (2019). They’ve also been celebrated for standout performances, including
“Best Performance” at the New Mexico Jazz Workshop’s Jazz Under the Stars (2018) and “Best Album” for their holiday recording Entourage Jazz Wishes You a Cool Yule.
Vocalist Emerson Corley, a Louisiana native, has twice received the New Mexico Music Award for “Best Vocal Performance” (2019, 2022), while the band has also been honored with awards for “Best Instrumental Performance” (2016, 2021) and “Best Route 66 Cover Song” (2024). Entourage Jazz has been a Top 5 Best of the City honoree for five consecutive years (2019-2024), cementing their reputation as one of Albuquerque’s most dynamic ensembles.
Evolving from an intimate trio to a swinging big band, Entourage Jazz specializes in fresh interpretations of the Great American Songbook by arranger, Roger Baker. With Emerson Corley on vocals, the EJAZZ ensemble at Baby Doll’s on Sunday, May 31st features Todd Lowrey (piano), Tristan Tucker (saxophone), Paul Gonzales (trumpet), Maren Hatch (bass) and John Bartlit (drums) – a powerhouse lineup delivering both elegance and energy.
Showtimes are 6:30 pm and 8:20 pm * Tickets are $20 (see reservations link) * Age restricted to 21+ * Dress to impress * Doors open at 6:00 pm.
Make a day of it – come early and enjoy a late lunch (or early dinner) at one of the vendors in the upscale Park Square Market food court. Two of our favorites are Hawt Pizza and Kulantro. Delicious!
Babydoll’s is where Albuquerque’s true music lovers gather. An elegant, adult sanctuary for the crowd who values connection, craft, and a sound that truly stirs the senses.
We can’t wait to welcome you at Babydoll's House of Jazz & Blues, where the music is the thing!
