NYC: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT BIRDLAND
NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays, September 9th, 20th & 27th 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: DJANGO REINHARDT NY FESTIVAL 15TH ANNIVERSARY
2014 celebrates 15 years of the Django Reinhardt NY Festival, which has become a one of the largest events at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080), and is highly anticipated by the public of NYC. This year performances are scheduled for Tuesday through Saturday, November 4th through 8th. The Festival All-Stars tour the US twice a year at major venues and festivals, such as The Newport Jazz Festival this past August. The Django Festival Allstars have been coming to America and played alongside many of the tops in jazz: George Benson, Joe Lovano, Paquito D'Rivera, Anat Cohen, Edmar Castaneda, Frank Wess, Lew Tabakin, Joel Frahm, and so many more. They have performed elite venues, like The Kennedy Center, Disney Hall, The San Francisco Jazz Festival, Caramoor, Newport Jazz Festival to name a few. Dorado Schmitt, legendary gypsy guitarist, has been coming to the Festival for over 10 years, and along the way, teaching his son's the lessons of great gypsy guitar. They family originates from Forbach, a gypsy community near Strasbourg in France, bringing the authenticity of the music to the NY stage. These talented artists swing like crazy and will break your heart with a sultry ballad. Each of them are composers and while this music can harken back to the great music of the past, their interpretations, arrangements, virtuosity, and original compositions bring a newness to Django's style of music and take it beyond. There is a $45 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
NYC: THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER AT THE BLUE NOTE
The Manhattan Transfer will perform at THE BLUE NOTE(131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Thursday through Sunday, November 6th through 9th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Founded by Tim Hauser - who passed away on October 16th - in 1964 with Gene Pistilli, Marty Nelson, Erin Dickins and Pat Rosalia, the Manhattan Transfer recorded one album, but because of differences in musical tastes this grouping disolved in just a few years. Tim reformed the group in 1972, this time with Laurel Masse, Janis Siegel and Alan Paul. Cheryl Bentyne joined The Manhattan Transfer in 1979, replacing Laurel. With worldwide sales in the millions, Grammy Awards by the dozen, and veterans of sold-out world tours, The Manhattan Transfer has continued to record and tour and will continue to do so. There is a $40-$50 cover.
