CABARET TONIGHT IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA - STANLEY CLARK, DEAF DOG AND THE INDICTMENTS, FEELS SO GOOD BAND
D.C.: LEGENDARY BASSIST STANLEY CLARK AT BLUES ALLEY
Legendary Bassist Stanley Clark performs at BLUES ALLEY (1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Thursday through Sunday, October 17th through 20th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Exploding into the jazz world in 1971, Stanley was a lanky teenager from the Philadelphia Academy of Music. He arrived in New York City and immediately landed jobs with famous bandleaders such as: Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson, Pharaoh Saunders, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, and a budding young pianist composer named Chick Corea. All of these musicians recognized immediately the ferocious dexterity and complete musicality the young Clarke possessed on the acoustic bass. Not only was he expert at crafting bass lines and functioning as a timekeeper in the bass' traditional role, Stanley also possessed a sense of lyricism and melody gained from his bass heroes Charles Mingus, Scott LaFaro, and others, including non-bass players like John Coltrane. Call for cover/minimum information.
MARYLAND: DEAF DOG AND THE INDICTMENTS & FEELS SO GOOD BAND
Deaf Dog and the Indictments, the world's only almost-all-judge band, will perform at BETHESDA BLUES & JAZZ SUPPER CLUB (7719 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD - 240-330-4500 - ) on Sunday, October 20th at 7:00 pm. The band began in 2005 as part of a talent show at a court training conference. Eight years later, the band now draws large crowds who enjoy their mix of rock 'n roll, Motown, and the blues. The Dogs consist of seven judges, and a psychologist on drums. They see the band as a way for the group to reach out to the community in a manner that is vastly different from a judges' professional role hearing criminal, family, and probate cases in D.C. Superior Court. They also see the band as a way to show their kids that they are cool...or at least once were! The Feels So Good Band began during a talent show at the MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital. Although all these musicians had performed at other times and places, this was the beginning of the group nearly 15 years ago. The joy that is present when the group plays is palpable, and it makes the members feel so good. They always want the listener to feel good, too. Their music has breadth to include jazz, blues, Holiday Caroling for hospitalized patients, rock and Motown. These physicians perform at the bedside, and they enjoy coming to the stage as a group. There is a $10 cover.
