NYC: THE BIRDLAND JAZZ PARTY FEATURING HILARY GARDNER
The Birdland Jazz Party features Hilary Gardner on Sunday, April 20th at 6:00 pm at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080). Birdland's very own jazz quartet hits the stage every Sunday to wrap up the weekend with jazz classics and a special guest vocalist. This quartet features John Hart (Guitar), Paul Gil (bass), Carmen Intorre (Drums) & Jon Davis (Piano). Acclaimed singer Hilary Gardner grew up in Wasilla, Alaska infatuated with New York City. The city came to life through the jazz and American songbook albums in her parents' record collection. Visions gleaned from those classic vinyl platters epitomized reinvention and feverish creativity, and inspired Hilary to make New York City her home. In 2010, Hilary went from waiting tables to making her Broadway debut in two-time Tony-award winner Twyla Tharp's hit musical, Come Fly Away. Backed by a 19-piece big band, Hilary sang solos and duets with Frank Sinatra in a performance hailed by critics. There is a $25 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

NYC: PLAYING FOR JIM HALL AT THE BLUE NOTE
"Playing For Jim Hall", An Official Memorial Tribute Celebrating The Life & Music Of Jim Hall will be held atTHE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Friday through Sunday, April 18th through 20th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Mr. Hall passed away in December 2013, and in keeping with Jim's quiet and unassuming nature, his sendoff was attended only by the immediate family. The multitude of condolences and shared stories attest to the fact that Jim was not only an inspiring musician but also a man with a huge heart. Sadly, his heart has stopped beating but his music endures and the treasured memories live on in all of us. Playing For Jim Hall will feature Bill Frisell, guitar; Julian Lage, guitar; Greg Osby, sax; Kate Schutt, guitar & vocals; Scott Colley, bass; and Joey Baron, drums. Not only was Jim Hall one of the jazz world's favorite guitarists, but he also earned critical acclaim for his skills as a composer and arranger. The first formal recognition came in 1997 when Jim won the New York Jazz Critics Circle Award for Best Jazz Composer/Arranger. In 2004, he joined the Baltimore Symphony to debuted his concerto for guitar and orchestra, commissioned by Towson University in Maryland for The First World Guitar Congress. The title of the work, "Peace Movement," is indicative of Jim's desire to contribute to world peace through his music. In January of 2006, the French Minister of Culture and Communication knighted him. There is a $20-$35 cover.
