South Street Jazz: Tivon Pennicott

South Street Jazz is a pop up jazz club coming to Peekskill NY featuring the best in New York’s progressive jazz scene.

For years, Tivon Pennicott has been transporting audiences to a higher level of consciousness. His latest single releases are the beginning of a new foundation on a canvas for genuine expression. A vocal performance with Tell Me Again (Dox Records, 2022), Let Our Hearts Decide (Dox Records, 2023), and a melodic “feel good” with Faith in Grace (Dox Records, 2023), display his versatility and a renewed authenticity as an artist. Also visit his self released 2020 album Spirit Garden, one that greets his listeners like a warm hug, granting access to experience the gravity of his artistry though a 26 piece stringed orchestra.

The highly sought saxophone player, composer and multi-instrumentalist is a key contributor to three GRAMMY Award winning albums, appearing on Esperanza Spalding’s disruptive recording Radio Music Society (Heads Up International, 2012), and Gregory Porter’s Liquid Spirit (Blue Note, 2013) and Take Me to the Alley (Blue Note, 2017). He has collaborated extensively with such visionaries as Roy Hargrove and Ari Hoenig, and performed at The Royal Albert Hall, the Berliner Philharmonie and Carnegie Hall. On screen, Pennicott appears regularly on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” as a member of the Stay Human Band with Jon Batiste. His evolving sound is the result of a soulful, sophisticated foundation for groove he honed in the church, and a penchant for unbound harmonic exploration.
