2017 Hot House Jazz Magazine Award Winners

Thursday, December 14, 7:30PM

The Bickford Theatre and Hot House Jazz Magazine are bringing the 2017 Fans Decision Jazz Award Winners to New Jersey for what will become an annual celebration. Female Vocalist winner Champian Fulton and Male Rising Star winner “King” Solomon Hicks will be joined by the celebrated emcee for the awards ceremony, singer Antoinette Montague and Surprise Special Guest.

Internationally acclaimed pianist and vocalist Champian Fulton was the winner in the Female Vocalist category.  Recognized as Rising Jazz Star by Downbeat Magazine, Champian is a mainstay on the New York jazz scene. She has released eight recordings as a leader including her newest CD “Christmas with Champian” which received 4-stars from both Downbeat Magazine and All About Jazz. The concert will feature Champian and her quartet playing selections from her new Christmas CD. 

Only 22, guitarist “King” Solomon Hicks effortlessly merges jazz and blues, opening for blues superstars like Joe Bonamassa and then performing with jazz stars such as Tony Bennett and Lee Ritenhour. His extraordinary talent has received coverage in a wide range of publications including The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Daily News, and on PBS. And he has become a popular headliner at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, NJ. He will perform both as a solo artist and with the Champian Fulton Quartet.

Raised in Newark, singer Antoinette Montague is no stranger to New Jersey audiences. Drawing on a repertoire of standards, swing, blues, bebop and storytelling, she captivates listeners with her passion and her wonderful voice. Not only is she regularly applauded for her singing, she is also a fervent champion for young musicians. Her Jazz Women to the Rescue Foundation works to provide musical instruments and art supplies to schools in communitiesthat don’t have music or art programs. And her high-energy shows always bring an audience to its feet. She has been the emcee for the Hot House Jazz Magazine Awards Ceremony for the past three years.
