NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays in November at 6:00 pm. She is joined by her long-time bassist Jay Leonhart. Barbara Carroll's still evolving career as a jazz pianist began when she played her first New York engagement opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band at the Downbeat Club in 1947. A thrilling if a trifle unsettling debut for a young female pianist from Worcester, Massachusetts who began playing the piano at five and who's family was wise enough to give her lessons that provided her with a basic knowledge of classical technique. In 1978, she was booked into the Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle hotel for a two week engagement - and stayed for twenty five years. It was at the Carlyle that she began to feature her singing as an integral part of her performances. Following her 25 years at the Carlyle, she is well into another long run in the famous Oak Room at New York's Algonquin Hotel, making a significant and successful effort to incorporate jazz playing into a cabaret venue. Other recent engagements have included concerts at Philharmonic Hall in Naples, Florida, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, concerts at the Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as twelve sold out performances at Dizzy's Club, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
The Michel Camilo Big Band will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, November 5th through 10th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. A pianist with a brilliant technique and a composer that flavors his tunes with Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Michel Camilo's musical language is an expressive combination of his Dominican Republic musical heritage and a rich, intelligent use of jazz harmonies and textures. Camilo composed his first piece at age five then studied at the National Conservatory for thirteen years. At age sixteen, he became a member of the National Symphony Orchestra of the Dominican Republic. Mr. Camilo's recordings and compositions have earned him numerous awards including Grammy awards, Grammy nominations, and Emmy awards. His compositions have been performed by some of the top jazz and Latin jazz artists on the scene today including Manhattan Transfer and Paquito D'Rivera. Members of the band include Anthony Jackson, contrabass guitar; Cliff Almond, drums; Lew Soloff, trumpet; Michael Mossman, trumpet; Tanya Darby, trumpet; John Walsh, trumpet; Dave Bargeron, trombone; Conrad Herwig, trombone; Luis Bonilla, trombone; David Taylor, bass trombone; Chris Hunter, alto & soprano sax; Antonio Hart, alto sax & flute; Ralph Bowen, tenor sax & flute; Lou Marini, tenor sax & flute; and Gary Smulyan, baritone sax. There is a $30-$45 cover.
China Crisis, an English pop/rock band, will perform atTHE IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB(1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday & Saturday, November 8th & 9th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. They formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of New Wave but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary. Throughout their career, China Crisis has seen moderate success in the United Kingdom with ten hit singles between August 1982 and January 1987 and six albums, as well as commercial success in Western Europe, Australia and the Americas. Sharing an affection for Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, David Bowie, and Brian Eno, Daly and Lundon played with various Knowsley post-punk groups. Daly then spent time tinkering with synthesizers and a drum machine. Along with Lundon, Daly began writing songs. The pair eventually asked drummer and percussionist Dave Reilly to join them, and in 1982 they released their debut single "African and White" as China Crisis on the independent record label, Inevitable. In June 1982, they supported the former Television guitarist, Tom Verlaine, at London's Venue. The band's last studio album, Warped By Success, was released in 1994, following the band's parting of ways with the Virgin label. The album produced their final UK hit, "Everyday The Same". Although Johnson and Wilkinson both made small contributions, the band was now listed as comprising Daly and Lundon. In 1995 they released a live unplugged album and video entitled Acoustically Yours, which proved to be their recording swansong. This featured one last single, a live version of "Black Man Ray", and also saw a return for Johnson, Wilkinson and McNeill. Since 1992, there have been four compilation albums of their work for the UK and US markets and three live DVDs. There is a $30 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
The Jacky Terrasson Quartet will appear at DIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9595) on Thursday through Sunday, November 7th through 10th with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Pianist Jacky Terrasson has been a unique force in the jazz world since winning the Thelonious Monk Piano Competition in 1993. Within a year, he signed to Blue Note, toured with Betty Carter, and was named one of the 30 artists most likely to change American culture in the next 30 years by the New York Times magazine. He has since worked with greats such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Dianne Reeves, and Ry Cooder, in addition to building a reputation for creating some of the best jazz trios around. One of the most widely travelled jazz pianists, Jacky Terrasson is coming to Dizzy's to make you feel good. The trio will be joined by rising star vocalist Cecile McLorin Salvant on Sunday, November 10th. There is a $35-$40-$45 cover, depending on date
