CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: GUITAR LEGEND ALBERT LEE AT THE IRIDIUM
Grammy-winning guitar legend Albert Lee will perform atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday through Sunday, August 16th through Sunday with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm (8:00 pm only on Saturday). Lee first came to prominence during a 1964-68 stint in British Blues and R & B stalwarts Chris Farlowe's Thunderbirds. After working in the UK bands for touring country acts such as Bobby Bare and Skeeter Davis, Lee's next full-time berth was two years with the UK answer to the Flying Burrito Brothers and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Head, Hands, and Feet. His reputation grew and session work blossomed, including appearances on "The London Bo Diddley Sessions" for Chess and Jerry Lee Lewis' "The London Sessions". This and other work with U.S. based greats led to a permanent position in the Crickets, and by the time that ended Albert had long since made Southern California his home. The Albert Lee Band includes John Thomas, aka "J.T', on keyboards. J.T.'s musical resume includes 23 years with Bruce Hornsby. Emmylou Harris, Don Henley, Sparks, Tracy Chapman and a host of other have called upon John's gifts. Bass player Will MacGregor's credits are a testament to his wide-ranging talents, having worked with the likes of the Pretenders, Pat Boone, Exene Cervanka, and more. Jason Smithbrings both the subtlety of jazz and pounding pulse of rock to his drum stylings. There is a $35 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
