CABARET TONIGHT IN BOSTON: JANIS SIEGAL: NEW CD NIGHTSONG
Janis Siegal will introduce her new CD 'Nightsong' at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB(400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Thursday, January 9th at 8:00 pm. This latest project, her first self- produced venture, is a collection of late night love songs, features some of N.Y.'s most inventive musicians including pianist/arranger John di Martino, Steve Khan, Dominick Farinacci, Joel Frahm , Luisito Quintero and Christian McBride. The record continues to explore various fusions of Latin rhythm coupled with contemporary songs and a jazz/pop vocal sensibility. Nine-time Grammy winner and a seventeen-time Grammy nominee, Janis Siegel has over a dozen solo albums. With The Manhattan Transfer, Janis' sang lead on some of the Transfer's biggest hits, such as "Operator," "Chanson D'Amour," "Twilight Zone," "Birdland," "Ray's Rockhouse," "Sassy," "Spice of Life," "Mystery," and "The Boy from N.Y.C.". She also gained a reputation as a vocal arranger by writing five of the charts for the group's acclaimed masterwork, Vocalese, seven charts for the group's Grammy-winning album Brazil, and won a Grammy herself in 1980 for her arrangement of "Birdland." Her second solo album, At Home, earned her a Grammy nomination in 1987 for Best Female Jazz Vocals. She collaborated with jazz pianist Fred Hersch on the 1989 album, Short Stories, which JazzTimes ranked "among the most graceful, thoroughly heartbreaking efforts of the modern era, thanks to her rich, emotive vocals." That same year, the New York Music Awards named her Best Female Jazz Singer. Siegel rejoined Hersch in the making of Slow Hot Wind in 1995, and The Tender Trap in 1999. Dinner/Show: $65 Show only: $25.
