She is joined by Randy Brecker (trumpet), Jimmy Greene (saxes), Al Foster (drums) and George Mraz (bass). Shortly after relocating from Vancouver to New York in 1986, Rosnes quickly established a reputation as a major talent. She has recorded and toured with a veritable "who's who" of jazz, being the pianist of choice for legendary musicians such as Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, JJ Johnson, Buster Williams and Bobby Hutcherson. In 2012, she produced Joe Henderson's 75th Birthday Celebration for Jazz at Lincoln Center's Allen Room, which featured Bobby Hutcherson, Chris Potter and Robert Hurst among others. Rosnes has released a series of 12 albums, four of which have garnered Juno Awards, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy. Her recordings reveal her to be both a powerful and sensitive musician, with a huge range. Rosnes also frequently performs with her husband, acclaimed pianist Bill Charlap, and the couple released their first duo recording in 2010, Double Portrait (Blue Note). There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: SEU JORGE AT THE BLUE NOTE
Brazilian singer-songwriter/ actor Seu Jorge performs at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday & Wednesday, November 18th & 19th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Seu became an international star after his performance as Knockout Ned in the Oscar-nominated City of God and his work in the Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou in 2004. In the latter, heplayed a sailor who sang solo acoustic versions of David Bowie classics in Portuguese. Of course there has been a wealth of Seu Jorge original compositions as well. A kid from the favelas who taught himself to play guitar and several other instruments, Jorge is a singular talent of rare quality. His warm husky baritone is instantly recognizable but nonetheless flexible enough for samba, reggae, pop, electronic and other influences that find their way into his music. There is a $50-$75 cover.
NYC: LEW TABACKIN QUARTET - A CELEBRATION OF COLEMAN HAWKINS
Lew Tabackin Quartet will present 'A Celebration of Coleman Hawkins' at DIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9595) on Monday through Wednesday, November 17th through 19th with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Tenor saxophone master Coleman Hawkins (aka "Bean") is one of the most important figures in the stylistic and popular development of jazz. Throughout his influential career - in which he brought the tenor saxophone into its now prominent role in jazz - Hawkins worked with the biggest names in jazz, from Fletcher Henderson's Orchestra and Duke Ellington, to a New York combo he led featuring Thelonious Monk, Oscar Pettiford, Miles Davis, and Max Roach as sidemen. Award-winning saxophonist, flutist, and bandleader Lew Tabackin is known in part for a huge sound and melodic approach to harmony that has drawn comparisons to Hawkins. Ten years ago, Tabackin led The Kennedy Center's much-praised celebration of Hawkins' centennial, and now, a decade later, he comes to Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola to celebrate Bean once again with his superb quartet comprised of Lew Tabackin, tenor saxophone; Peter Washington, bass; Kenny Washington, drums; Richard Wyands, piano. There is a $35 cover.copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
