NYC: JAZZ LEGEND ANNIE ROSS TUESDAYS THE METROPOLITAN ROOM

Ms. Ross has been an abundant contributor to the art of jazz for over 50 years. Born in the UK, she has been a permanent resident of the USA for many years and a US citizen since 2001. Annie Ross is one of the pioneers of vocalese and the composer of "Twisted", one of the most well known examples of that art, as well as "Farmers Market", "Jackie" and many others. A founding member of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, considered the greatest jazz vocal ensemble of all time, her influence is present in all subsequent practitioners of vocalese. "Twisted" has been recorded by a host of vocalists, including some not normally associated with jazz, including Joni Mitchell and Bette Midler. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
NYC: VINCE SCUDERI WITH THE OUT OF THE BOX BIG BAND
Vince Scuderi and the Out of the Box Big Band will perform at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Tuesday, March 11th at 7:00 pm. Whatever happened to Big Band music after Glenn Miller? Vince Scuderi knows. His Out of the Box Big Band aims to introduce audiences to the big sounds of Oliver Nelson, Thad Jones and Sammy Nestico. While not completely avoiding the classics, (Charlie Barnett included), it's the more modern, sophisticated language that Vince and his band mates swing to. OOTBBB recorded their first demo cd at Nola Recording Studios in 2013. The demo is a sampler of their eclectic style. It includes Nelson's "Hoedown", a mesmerizing "James " by Pat Metheny and the fun and retro inspired "Mercy" by British recording artist, Duffy. Out of the Box Big Band consists of a rotating line-up of seasoned, professional and up and coming NY jazz talent. Their combined experience runs the gamut from Broadway to Buble. Vince's special guest on the 11th is critically acclaimed jazz singer, Martha Lorin. As heard on our stage last year, Martha is an exciting performer. She is the winner of a Back Stage Bistro Award for her NY appearances, a Billboard award winner for her work as a songwriter, and she received a special award for her work with the Milford Music Festival. She was coached by the great singer/actress, Ruth Etting at the start of her career. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

Princesses live a charmed life with their spell-bounding beauty, adoring princes and happily ever afters. Throughout history, this impression has fueled the fantasies of little girls, but as they grow into women, frequently devolves into twisted self-esteem, failed relationships, Facebook stalking and costly therapy bills. Is the princess path truly the way to happiness? In The Princess Fallacy, Stacie Bono explores the age-old princess myth through song and the retelling of her own fairy tale fantasies that will have you laughing, crying and thinking that perhaps "happily ever after" isn't reserved just for royalty after all! There is a $15 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
