NYC: SWING THAT MUSIC - DANNY BACHER SINGS 3 LOUIS AT THE MET
Jazz singer/ saxophonist, Danny Bacher, and his band present a tribute to the three Louis! (Armstrong/ Prima/ Jordan) at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Tuesday, August 25th at 7:00 pm. This show also celebrates Danny's debut recording, "Swing That Music!" And the CD marks the recording debut of an extraordinary talent, vocalist-saxophonist Danny Bacher (pronounced: Back-er). Danny unleashes his substantial chops and signature wit to pay homage to three jazz firebrands - Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, and Louis Jordan - in a series of kinetic tunes that vibrantly reimagine classics from the three Louis' repertoire for today's audience. Danny hails from New Jersey and was raised on classic jazz and the American popular songbook. Vocally, he possesses a warm smoky tone; instrumentally, he favors a lush and lyrical soprano sax style that complements perfectly his role as storyteller. Trained in music, theater, and comedy, Danny is a born performer, perfectly poised to summon the spirit and legacies of the three Louis. Danny understands the 360 of entertainment - he's also a proven playwright and comedian who first garnered notice off-Broadway and has toured nationally and internationally with his original work. Joining Danny is an all-star lineup of jazz luminaries: Warren Vache -Cornet, Jay Rodriguez- Tenor Sax, Pete McGuinness -Trombone, Jason Teborek - Piano, Dean Johnson -Bass, Tim Horner- Drums, along with guest vocalist Vanessa Racci. Marilyn Maye directs. There is a $22.50 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.THE METROPOLITAN ROOM ADVERTISES IT'S EVENTS ON CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

NYC: JOE'S PUB PRESENTS NICK GARRIE
Nick Garrie performs at JOE'S PUB at THE PUBLIC THEATRE (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - 212-967-7555) on Tuesday, August 25th at 7:30 pm. Garrie is renowned in psychedelic collectors' circles for his 1970 debut The Nightmare of J.B. Stanislas, a Baroque pop masterpiece effectively buried by nonexistent distribution and promotion. Born June 22, 1949, in Yorkshire, England, to a Russian father and Scottish mother, Garrie spent the majority of his adolescence at a French boarding school. He began writing songs while attending Warwick University, but his interests primarily lay in surrealist literature and poetry and he didn't mount a performing career until 1968, playing bars and restaurants while backpacking through the south of France. There is a $15 cover.

The show is a "wildly ambitious" new musical returning to New York which synthesizes an electro-pop score, "slick choreography," feminist history, and the text of Euripides's Medea into a "beautifully produced" theatrical event that is "Design-wise ... a marvel." Come hear Medea retell the events that make her infamous, and invoke the spirit of women who've found justice all their own. Words and music by Daniel Baird Jr, created in collaboration with and directed by Catie Sanderson Davis. There is a $12 cover.
