  Bassist Michael Bowie has traveled the globe with jazz and R&B stars such as Betty Carter, Michel Camilo, Isaac Hayes and Angie Stone. But the D.C. native is just starting to show the world the extent of his skills as a composer and bandleader. Sine Qua Non is an unorthodox combo that he assembled in 2012; it works as a sandbox for Bowie's wide-ranging creativity. In this group, ideas from Western classical run together with small-group jazz from the 1960s, '80s pop, calypso and much more. Bowie is particularly enamored with Spanish classical guitar music, but there's no guitarist in this band: To find the connection, you'll have to listen for the minor-key tinge of Sine Qua Non's music, or the group's way of turning elegant filigree into substance. For this concert, the quartet features Michael on bass, Antonio Parker on reeds and the exquisite vocals of Christie Dashiell, of Howard University and the acclaimed a cappella group Afro Blue, who is a much sought after talent in the DC area. Christie has just been selected as on of the semi-finalists in the very prestigious 2015 Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition and she will be performing at the competition on November 14th in Los Angeles. Other instrumentaists will be announced, shortly. This is an all-star lineup of D.C. musicians that gives Bowie’s kaleidoscope compositions an energetic lift.
