Carmen Bradford with Reginald Thomas Saturday, February 22 at 7:00 p.m. Jazz royalty Carmen Bradford takes the stage in the All Saints’ series on Saturday, February 22, accompanied by Reginald Thomas on piano. A 2024 Grammy Award winner for her vocals on “Basie Swings the Blues—the Count Basie Orchestra,” Carmen was born with music in her soul as the daughter of legendary cornetist Bobby Bradford and renowned vocalist and composer Melba Joyce. At age twenty-two, she was discovered by Count Basie, beginning a connection with the Basie orchestra that has lasted for decades. Her distinctive voice graces film, stage, television, and radio productions as well as performances with other orchestras across the country. Though she calls Atlanta home, Carmen also teaches at Michigan State University. Her pianist, Reginald Thomas, is the coordinator of the internationally recognized Northern Illinois School of Music jazz studies program, the director of the NIU Jazz Orchestra, and a featured artist in his own right. |
The Matthew Kaminski Quartet Friday, March 14 at 7:00 p.m. On Friday, March 14, the multi-talented Matthew Kaminiski and his quartet will wind up the first season of Jazz at All Saints’.

He also writes music for plays and sings in a rock band. You can be sure that fan-favorite ballpark songs as well as jazz classics will highlight the evening’s offerings. |
The concerts will be followed by a reception for the artists in Ellis Hall at 8:30 p.m.

Dear Music Lovers,
I am beyond excited to begin my tenure this program year (2024/2025) as the Director of Music here at All Saints' Episcopal Church! A great deal of that excitement comes from the honor of continuing to grow a great legacy, as established by Directors of Music Emeriti Elizabeth and Raymond Chenault and my predecessor Dr. Kirk Rich. With the help of All Saints' landmark Buzard pipe organ, these fine artistic directors have brought countless beautiful performances to our block in Midtown Atlanta and well beyond.
