TORONTO: THE MAUREEN KENNEDY QUARTET AT THE JAZZ BISTRO
The Maureen Kennedy Quartet will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, May 29th through 31st at 9:00 pm. Known to the Canadian jazz community as a "singer's singer", vocalist Maureen Kennedy has cultivated an extensive repertoire of memorable standards and rediscovered gems that compliment her very personal sound. Kennedy developed her love for jazz in her early twenties when she studied for six years with Canadian flugelhorn and trumpet player Fred Stone. The purity of her sound and restrained use of vibrato developed under his tutelage. Through the years Ms. Kennedy has performed at numerous venues and arts events in and around the city of Toronto with many of Canada's accomplished jazz players. This past summer she went to Vancouver for the first time and sang two nights at the Cellar Jazz Club with a group that included Vancouver saxophonist Cory Weeds and guitarist Bill Coon, who will be joining her at Jazz Bistro to open and close this three-night stand. There is a $15-$20 cover.
WASHINGTON, DC: BLUES ALLEY PRESENTS PIECES OF A DREAM
Jazz trio Pieces of a Dream will perform at BLUES ALLEY (1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Friday through Sunday, May 30th through June 1st with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Pieces of a Dream emerged out of Philadelphia's music scene in 1976. Keyboardist James Lloyd, drummer Curtis Harmon and former bassist Cedric Napoleon, were (and still are) managed by the drummer's father and uncle, Danny and Bill Harmon, respectively. The group based their name on "Pieces of Dreams," a cover tune by Stanley Turrentine that the group performed. The youthful exuberance of those two Philly kids from the mid-'70s is still very much alive in Soul Intent, Pieces of a Dream's latest effort on Heads Up. It's that kind of innovation and eclecticism that keeps Pieces of a Dream fresh and authentic in a jazz world that's ever-changing. Call for cover/minimum information.
WASHINGTON, DC: JIMMY GREEN AT THE BOHEMIAN CAVERNS
A native of Hartford, CT, saxophonist, composer, and educator Jimmy Greene will perform at BOHEMIAN CAVERNS (2001 Eleventh Street N.W., Washington, DC - 202-299-0800) on Friday & Saturday, May 30th & 31st at 8:30 & 10:30 pm.
