HOTLINE MEMBER CABARET EVENT TONIGHT IN NYC: LOVE, LUST & THE PRICE OF FREEDOM ON NEW BARBARA FASANO CD
Human Child Records and BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) present the release of Barbara Fasano's new CD "Busy Being Free," on Thursday, December 10th at 6:00 pm. The complexities of love and the circles we all swirl within are explored in the new CD. The album boasts a line-up of all-star jazzmen, led by pianist/ arranger John di Martino, known for his work with Grady Tate, Freddy Cole, Pat Martino and the late Ray Barretto. The 14 tracks run the gamut from well-known standards ("Surrey With The Fringe On Top", "Dancing In The Dark") to rarer tunes such as "Roundabout", "Remind Me" and "Photographs", a collaboration between composer Alec Wilder and Beat lyricist Fran Landesman. The CD's title comes from Joni Mitchell's "Cactus Tree", and the record takes a deep dive into a woman's point of view, with other female lyricists including Carolyn Leigh and Nellie Lutcher. In the years since their last CD collaboration, the award-winning Harold Arlen collection "Written In The Stars", Barbara & John have been refining their search for material for this new record. When the time came, John's arrangements were brought to life by the first-call jazz ensemble on the record: Boris Kozlov, Vince Cherico, Aaron Heick, Paul Meyers and the cornet star, Warren Vache. Barbara's unique approach to material ranging from Harold Arlen to Joni Mitchell has earned her three Backstage Bistro awards, and four MAC awards (Major Duo Artists with Eric Comstock). Fasano headlines at venues from Birdland and Jazz at Kitano to Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, and concert halls and jazz festivals across the country and in London. There is a $25 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
