FEATURED CABARET BENEFIT EVENT
FEATURED CABARET BENEFIT EVENT
Chicago-based global jazz ensemble Latinise will be releasing its new album "Outerlingual" on Thursday, October 28th at 8:00 pm with a masquerade-themed concert event at THE STAN MANSION (2408 North Kedzie, Chicago, IL). Doors open at 7pm, and the concert begins at 8:00 pm. Guests are requested to arrive in costume. The concert will feature selections from the new album "Outerlingual", including jazz arrangements of tango, cabaret, pop, opera, bossa nova and folk music from Latin America and Europe. Latinise is the brainchild of vocalist/violinist Andrea Else, who performs in Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. She frequently appears at venues such as the House of Blues, Taste of Chicago, Underground Wonder Bar, and has received numerous grants from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Illinois Arts Council to pilot world music and multilingual choir workshops in Chicago Public Schools. Else will be joined by musicians specializing in world, jazz and experimental styles to create Latinise's trademark "global-fusion" sound, including James Cornolo, a guitarist/tres player who works with Angel D'Cuba and other Caribbean ensembles in Chicago; Danny Howard, a percussionist specializing in Afro-Brazilian styles; and jazz composer/ bassist Charlie Univerz. The dance floor will be open to all guests, and featured dancers will perform throughout the evening, including rising stars of the Tango Nuevo scene Rod Relucio and Jen Teters; emerging choreographers Aislinn Gagliardi and Megan Rhyme; and flamenco and samba performers, to be confirmed. Proceeds will be donated to the Merit School of Music, an organization founded in 1979 that provides high-quality music education to students in metropolitan Chicago.
