THIS SUNDAY IN NYC: ROSE BONANZA ~ MORE MEMORIES OF LAS VEGAS

Rose Bonanza brings her show "More Memories Of Las Vegas" to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, April 28th at 4:00 pm. She is joined on stage by her musical director Ricky Ritzel. Ms. Bonanza's signature voice and electrifying, yet whimsical style has been sending audiences away raving since the 1960s when she was one of the top lounge acts in Las Vegas. Brooklyn born, Ms. Bonanza spent the early years of her childhood being taught piano and singing by the nuns in her neighborhood convent. It wasn't long before everyone realized what a jewel they had in their midst. She brought the house down in her kindergarten class and knew her life would be about music from that day forward. After landing a job in Las Vegas in the mid-sixties, her musical career zoomed through the major hotels in Las Vegas even before she was old enough to walk through the casinos, where celebrities like Dean Martin, Jack Carter, and Robert Goulet took her under their wings. Eventually, she returned to New York to raise a family and pursue a brilliant club career in the late 1970's. Until recently, she and her husband/manager Michael DiMartino spent much of their lives on the road. Now, she picks and chooses her favorite spots to return to where her fans await her each year. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: '4 GENERATIONS OF MILES' AT THE IRIDIUM

IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) presents '4 Generations of Miles' featuring Jimmy Cobb, Sonny Fortune, Buster Williams and Mike Stern on Wednesday through Saturday, April 24th through 27th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Miles Davis (May 26, 1926 - September 28, 1991) was an American jazz composer, trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist and was one of the most influential, innovative and original musicians of the twentieth century. In terms of importance to the history of jazz, few knowledgeable critics would balk at describing him as an innovative genius with an unmistakable style and unmatched musical range. Stylistically, his vast catalogue encompasses bebop, cool jazz, modal jazz, and jazz-rock fusion. He was a pivotal figure in the evolution of the latter three. His recordings, along with the live performances of his many seminal bands, were vital in jazz's increased artistic acceptance. A popularizer as well as an innovator, Davis became famous for both his languid, melodic style and his laconic and at times confrontational personality. As an increasingly well-paid and fashionably-dressed jazz musician, Davis was a symbol of the music's commercial and artistic potential. Davis is the latest, and perhaps the last, in the line of supremely innovative and influential jazz trumpeters that starts with Buddy Bolden and runs through Joe 'King' Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Roy Eldridge, and Dizzy Gillespie. Davis has been compared to Duke Ellington as a musical innovator. Both were skillful players on their instruments but were not considered technical virtuosos. Both expressed their musical ideas more as bandleaders, although Davis soloed much more than Ellington. Both tailored their compositions to the players in their bands. There is a $35 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

NYC: MACEO PARKER AT THE BLUE NOTE

THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) presents Maceo Parker on Monday through Thursday, April 22nd through 25th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Maceo Parker's name is synonymous with Funky Music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth. By now that he's played with each and every leader of funk, his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as " like being at University "; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton; stretching out with Bootsy's Rubber Band. He's the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of Funk in one golden thread. The cipher that unravels dance music down to its core. In 1991, Maceo was remembered by aficionados of funk music as sideman; appreciated mainly by those in the know. More than a decade and a half later Maceo Parker has been enjoying a blistering solo career. For the past sixteen years Maceo has been building a new funk empire, fresh and stylistically diverse. He navigates deftly between James Brown's 1960's soul and George Clinton's 1970's freaky funk while exploring mellower jazz and the grooves of hip-hop. His collaborations over the years performing or recording or both have included Ray Charles, Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base. Call for cover/minimum information.

Together they collaborated with French choreographer Philippe Decoufle at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Albertville.
