Lonnie Plaxico is an American jazz bassist and composer known for his versatility across post-bop, avant-garde, and contemporary jazz styles. Throughout his career, he has performed and recorded with a wide array of influential musicians, including McCoy Tyner, Cassandra Wilson, and the Mingus Big Band. His technical proficiency and improvisational skill have established him as a prominent figure in the New York jazz scene.

The performance takes place at Birdland Theater, a venue located in Midtown Manhattan. Birdland is named after the historic "Jazz Corner of the World," the original club that operated from 1949 to 1965 and served as a pivotal hub for bebop and hard bop. The modern iteration of Birdland continues this legacy by hosting world-class jazz artists in an intimate setting designed to preserve the tradition of live improvisational music. The pairing of Plaxico's extensive discography and professional pedigree with this storied venue aligns with the theater's long-standing commitment to presenting high-caliber jazz performances in New York City.
