NYC: BLUE NOTE SUNDAY JAZZ BRUNCH: VIVIAN SESSOMS
The Blue Note Jazz Festival presents Vivian Sessoms on Sunday, June 1st at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) for Sunday Jazz Brunch with performances at 11:30 & 1:30 pm. Born and raised in Harlem, Vivian, whose mother was a session/ jingle-singer, and whose father was a flautist/ percussionist (who's played with the likes of James Brown), learned the wonder of music at a young age. Surrounded by nightclubs, churches and regular jam sessions at her family's home, she was already singing by the time she could talk. Years later, while on one of her first major tours, performing with pianist/composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, Vivian had her eyes and ears opened to an entirely new world of sound and became galvanized. Sakamoto taught Vivian much about song-craft, performance and musicianship. She absorbed as much as she could from the brilliance of his artistry. She found herself surrounded by accomplished, seasoned musicians like drummer Manu Katche (Peter Gabriel, Sting), Victor Bailey (Weather Report, Madonna) and Darryl Jones (Miles Davis, Rolling Stones). She pushed herself tirelessly towards perfection as both a singer and performer. There is a $35 cover **Price includes brunch, music and a drink.**
