The growing buzz led to her first major show at the Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival later that year, and in 2007, as part of the events 20th anniversary, she became one of the only artists to ever headline shows on all three weekends. Now she is taking it to the next level, stepping out under the Tequila Moon on her multi-faceted, Brown-produced Peak Records debut that brings to the genre a fresh and inspired energy with vibrant exotic twists.

She is a wonderful person, and performed at our Cheyenne Lodge on a very cold, snowy night… but her music heated up the lodge really quick, and a lot of fun was had by all.

Born in Omaha, Nebraska, he began his musical life showing great promise on clarinet and oboe before finally discovering his true love — the saxophone. He gained proficiency rather quickly and was strongly influenced by Grover Washington Jr, David Sanborn, and Maceo Parker. His music teachers have included Marcus Belgrave, Dr. Harold Arnoldi, Joseph Brooks, and Dr. Shirley Diamond.

Lenny is now touring with Earl Klugh, and we all feel that he is a long time friend at The Broadmoor. He is a Naval Academy Grad, and he has countless credits. He has performed here 7 times with The Weekend of Jazz… and we all think the world of him as a person, and as a wonderful musician!

After all, Rick’s best-selling release to date is his collaboration with Boney James (Shake It Up). Duet albums from Bob James & David Sanborn, Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin, George Benson & Earl Klugh are among the top-sellers of this (or any) genre. Richard had toured with Rick numerous times yet hadn’t a real studio long-player to share credits with. Nonetheless, for these two stars it had to be perfect.

Almost three years later and over half a dozen releases on their label that time had come. The planets aligned and they began writing and recording their own record together.

They performed at our weekend of jazz… both of these musicians are very talented, and have played with so many people over the years. Richard Elliot was in Tower of Power for 5 years, and his first gig was with Natalie Cole and the Pointer Sisters when he was still in High School. Rick Braun was in the band War… Rick went to the Eastman school of music… these guys are really amazing and a lot of fun…. they put on an unforgettable show, and now here they are, Rick Braun and Richard Elliot or also known as R-N-R.
