LONDON CABARET TONIGHT: MICHAEL LAW ONE NIGHT ONLY AT CRAZY COQS

LONDON CABARET TONIGHT: MICHAEL LAW ONE NIGHT ONLY AT CRAZY COQS

Michael Law, founder of the Piccadilly Dance Orchestra, will perform his show 'East To Love' on Monday, July 22nd at 8:00 pm at THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888). In 'East To Love', the songs of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Noel Coward and more, Michael teaches us about a world that we might have forgotten, or never known existed. His interpretations make these classic, great songs sound fresh and newly composed - whether There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner, I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket, I Love Paris, Just One of Those Things, Lady Be Good or Nina (from Argentina). A marvellously understated performer, his own playing and singing displays his impeccable taste and infallible sense of what a modern-day audience is hungry for - fine music brilliantly but not aggressively, performed. It is particularly in Coward's deceptively simple love songs that Michael truly excels. When he sings, we are suddenly aware that each song has a heart as well as a soul. But, make no mistake, there is nothing simple about this simplicity. Michael Law's music speaks directly to the heart and there's nothing simple about that. He is, quite simply, unique. Call for cover/minimum information.

NYC CABARET TONIGHT: SEU JORGE WITH NEW CD RELEASE AT THE BLUE NOTE

NYC CABARET TONIGHT: SEU JORGE WITH NEW CD RELEASE AT THE BLUE NOTE

Seu Jorge will be performing songs from his new CD and other favorits at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Wednesday & Thursday, July 17th & 18th, plus Saturday & Sunday, July 20th & 21st and Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23rd & 24th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Listening to this remarkable album for the first time you'll surely be struck first by the deep, soul-piercing voice of that great Brazilian singer, Seu Jorge.Many may know him as an actor for his screen-stealing performances in the likes of Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic, Fernando Meirelles' City Of God and Walter Salles' Linha de Passe, but Seu has known since he was a child that we was destined to sing. He's a Brazilian singer who speaks the truth through samba, to paraphrase a well-known Seu Jorge quote. But this project is about a band: Almaz. Drummer Pupillo and guitarist Lucio Maia from the stalwart Nacao Zumbi; bassist and composer Antonio Pinto from the soundstages of movies starring Seu Jorge. They came together naturally to record a song for a Salles film; they enjoyed the experience so much that they recorded an entire album of music that inspired them. Songs famous within the Brazilian diaspora mesh with classic American and European soul songs begging for a bit of psychedelic samba. They enlisted producer and fellow Brazileiro Mario C. (Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson) to put the finishing touches on the project. Their album is both warm and dark; psychedelic and yet grounded, uplifting but at times somber. To listen to it is to join them in the studio, where the only bandleader is the music and the only agenda is to follow your heart. Call for cover/minimum information.
