MANHATTAN: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT BIRDLAND
NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays, June 14th, 21st & 28th at 6:00 pm. She is joined by her long-time bassist Jay Leonhart. Barbara Carroll's still evolving career as a jazz pianist began when she played her first New York engagement opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band at the Downbeat Club in 1947. A thrilling if a trifle unsettling debut for a young female pianist from Worcester, Massachusetts who began playing the piano at five and who's family was wise enough to give her lessons that provided her with a basic knowledge of classical technique. In 1978, she was booked into the Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle hotel for a two week engagement - and stayed for twenty five years. It was at the Carlyle that she began to feature her singing as an integral part of her performances. Following her 25 years at the Carlyle, she is well into another long run in the famous Oak Room at New York's Algonquin Hotel, making a significant and successful effort to incorporate jazz playing into a cabaret venue. Other recent engagements have included concerts at Philharmonic Hall in Naples, Florida, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, concerts at the Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as twelve sold out performances at Dizzy's Club, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: TIERNEY SUTTON QUARTET "AFTER BLUE: THE JONI MITCHELL PROJECT"
The Tierney Sutton Quartet will perform at BIRDLAND(315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080)on Tuesday through Saturday, Jume 23rd through 28th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. Known for her original and edgy interpretations of the classic jazz songbook, vocalist Tierney Sutton brings songs from her CD "After Blue: The Joni Mitchell Project" to the Birdland stage. The recipient of numerous honors, including a Jazz Times Magazine cover story, she has been a frequent performer at prestigious venues including Birdland and Carnegie Hall and has been featured in popular films and commercials. On "After Blue," 2013 Grammy nominee for "Best Jazz Vocal Album," Tierney provides a fresh take on the music of Joni Mitchell. There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: BLUE NOTE JAZZ FESTIVAL PRESENTS: HIROMI: THE TRIO PROJECT
Hiromi Uehara, along with Anthony Jackson & Simon Phillips, bringa "Hiromi: The Trio Project" to THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592)on Wednesday through Sunday, June 25th through 29th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Pianist and composer Hiromi Uehara, whose passionate and incendiary keyboard work has been a shining light on the jazz landscape since her 2003 debut, believes that the voice that never speaks can sometimes be the most powerful of all. Her newest release, a nine-song trio recording simply titled Voice, expresses a range of human emotions without the aid of a single lyric. Voice is set for a June 7, 2011, release on Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group. Although a mesmerizing instrumentalist in her own right, Hiromi enlists the aid of two equally formidable players for this project - bassist Anthony Jackson (Paul Simon, The O'Jays, Steely Dan, Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour, Jack Bruce). Jackson had previously played on a couple tracks from each of Hiromi's first two albums - Another Mind in 2003 and Brain in 2004 - but they had never recorded an entire album together. There is a $20-$35 cover.
