NYC: TERESE GENECCO & HER LITTLE BIG BAND CELEBRATE 100 AT IRIDIUM
Terese Genecco & Her Little Big Band are celebrating their "longest-running nightclub act on Broadway" at THE IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Tuesday, May 20th with shows at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. For almost five years, Terese and Her Little Big Band were monthly headliners at the club. Genecco originally jumped on the cabaret/jazz live music scene with her acclaimed tribute to nightclub entertainer Frances Faye (Drunk With Love) that has charmed audiences and critics alike nationwide since its San Francisco and New York City debuts in 2005. Genecco's CD "Live From Iridium!" was released on March 20, 2012 to coincide with her 3rd anniversary of monthly shows there. There is a $25 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.
NYC: KARRIN ALLYSON AT BIRDLAND
Multiple Grammy nominated singer and pianist Karrin Allyson will perform atBIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Tuesday through Saturday, May 20th through 24th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. May 2011 marked a milestone for Karrin Allyson and Concord Jazz - the release of Round Midnight, the thirteenth album in a series dating back to her 1992 debut album "I Didn't Know About You." Everyone is marveling at the range of this extraordinary musician, who moves with such ease and authority from the Great American Songbook of Gershwin and Porter to the Great American Jazz Songbook of Duke and Thelonius and Miles and Dizzy, jet-setting to Rio and Paris and swinging back home to pick up Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell and Jimmy Webb. What unites this wide world of music - brings it together and makes sense of it all - is Karrin Allyson's warmth and depth. She's not just singing a lyric, she's telling you her story. And then that becomes your story. You hear the music from the inside out. There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: TUCK & PATTI AT THE BLUE NOTE
Tuck & Patti (Tuck Andress, guitar & Patti Cathcart, vocals) will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Thursday, May 20th through 22nd with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Onstage and off, guitarist Tuck Andress and vocalist and arranger Patti Cathcart might, at first impression, strike you as an odd couple. Cathcart exudes the soft, centered yet powerful graciousness of a gospel singer; Andress almost wears his brain on his skin, anticipating the thousands of musical decisions he'll have to send to his ten fingers during the course of a performance. And yet, with over 30 years of performing together and almost as many years of marriage, the devotion forged by this extraordinary couple shows no sign of dimming from the pressure of familiarity. Andress and Cathcart first met in the Bay Area in 1978. They knew almost instantly they that found lifetime musical partners in each other, so they formed a duo, guitarist and vocalist. Friendship and collaboration grew to love, and the two were married in 1981. Their recording career took off when Windham Hill Jazz signed them for 1988's groundbreaking Tears of Joy. This and several other Windham Hill albums put them on the map, and they've been solidifying their career, their musical conversation, their technique, and their love together ever since. They now have their own recording studio, as well as their own label, T&P Records, which licenses their CDs to major labels for distribution around the world. They tour Asia and Europe often, and they enjoy taking occasional time off from touring to teach at their Bay Area home, as well as doing workshops while on tour. There is a $20-$35 cover.
NYC: STEVE WILSON AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD
Acclaimed jazz saxophonist Steve Wilson will return THE VILLAGE VANGUARD (178 Seventh Avenue South, NYC - 212-255-4037) on Tuesday through Sunday, May 20th through 25th with shows at 8:30 & 10:30 pm. On the final two days of the visit (May 24th and 25th,) he will record a long-awaited live album, featuring his core band• 'Wilsonian's Grain' with Orrin Evans, Ugonna Okegwo and Bill Stewart. The uniqueness of Wilsonian's Grain is in the repertoire of Wilson originals, tunes from each member of the band, and the off-the-beaten-path tunes they play. Their interpretations of this repertoire, from this wonderfully disparate mixture of influences that each musician brings to the stage, are performed with absolute abandon and great sense of adventure. Steve plans to play and record material he's writing for the occasion, as well as "Well You Needn't (Monk), the tone poem "Santa Catarina" (Pascoal Hermeto), "Patterns" (Joe Chambers) and "If I Were a Wind of Spring," by the young composer Migiwa Miyajima. There is a $25-$30 cover plus a 1-drink minimum.
