NYC: LOSTON HARRIS QUARTET WITH SPECIAL GUEST MONICA BEHAN
The Loston Harris Quartet with Special Guest Monica Behan will perform at BIRDLAND(315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Tuesday through Saturday, July 8th through 13th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. Loston Harris' piano playing has been described as percussive but incredibly fluid, his vocals, suave and contemporary. For more than a decade Loston has headlined the legendary Bemelmans Bar in the Carlyle Hotel, a spot previously held by Bobby Short, Eartha Kitt, Elaine Stritch, John Pizzarelli and the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ). Loston and his quartet - Ian Hendrickson-Smith (tenor sax), Gianluca Renzi (bass), Clarence Penn (drums) - along with very special guest vocalist Monica Behan, perform swinging arrangements of timeless standards from the Great American Songbook, selections from his recent CD "Swingfully Yours". There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: DIZZY GILLESPIE ALL STAR BIG BAND AT THE BLUE NOTE
The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band will perform atTHE BLUE NOTE(131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, July 8th through 13th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. History has produced its share of great artists and great people - John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was both. As a performer, he left behind an incredible record of innovation and inspiration. As a composer, a broad repository of musical masterpieces, and as a man, a legion of friends, colleagues and compatriots who remember him with the same degree of love and esteem they reserve for his work. For Dizzy Gillespie, playing in a small combo was never enough. His artistry compelled him to seek and to create larger ensembles because as a composer and arranger, a big band was the ultimate vehicle for self-expression. Given that the majority of his career took place after 1950 when the big band era was over, it's especially notable that Dizzy Gillespie continued to create brilliant music using the grand-scale formats of jazz big band and orchestra right up to the end of his life in 1993. The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band and Alumni All-Star group (small group) is the direct descendant of these ventures, and happily, the tradition lives on, nurtured by Gillespie alumni and executive director, producer, and bassist John Lee. There is a $20-$30 cover.
