The Sister Moon Project brings together six accomplished musicians to reimagine the catalog of Sting and The Police through a contemporary jazz framework. Rather than straightforward covers, the ensemble transforms iconic tracks like "Roxanne," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic," and "King of Pain" with sophisticated harmonic arrangements and improvisation that reveals new dimensions in these familiar songs. The approach respects the melodic hooks and emotional core of the originals while allowing each musician space to explore and interact.
Myron's Cabaret Jazz provides an intimate setting for this kind of musical conversation, with its small round tables and mezzanine layout creating sight lines that let you watch the musicians communicate and respond to each other in real time. The venue overlooks Symphony Park, adding a touch of visual elegance to the evening. For fans of both Sting's songwriting and jazz interpretation, this performance offers a chance to hear how well these pop compositions hold up when stripped down and rebuilt through a jazz sensibility—the strong melodies and chord progressions that made these songs hits in the first place become launching points for something different.
