NYC: UNFORGETTABLE DINAH: DENISE PERRIER QUINTET FEATURING HOUSTON PERSON

San Francisco treasure Denise Perrier, known as "the voice with a heart," brings her show 'Unforgettable Dinah' celebrating Dinah Washington at DIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9595) on Friday through Sunday, August 15th through 17th with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Denise is making her Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola debut. From the repertoire to the signature tiara and furs, the vivacious Perrier brings Dinah Washington - "the Queen" - back to life. Performing Washington's greatest hits, from "I Wanna Be Loved" to "Big Long Sliding Thing," Perrier has taken this critically-acclaimed show from the San Francisco Bay Area to venues around the country. These sets will demonstrate why Washington is considered the most popular - and perhaps one of the most controversial - black female recording artists of the 1950s. There is a $35-$45 cover.
