BECKLEY — The 2026-27 Beckley Concert Association season kicks off Thursday, Sept. 17, with a jazz duo from New York City.
Acute Inflections will perform at 7 p.m. at Beckley’s Historic Black Knight. The couple includes R&B vocalist eL and upright bass player Sadiki, who will perform a smooth, intimate program of reimagined standards and original songs. They have been described as “a velvety mix of Erykah Badu and Billie Holiday paired with the cool grooves of her 007 on bass.”
