NYC: RICHARD PRYOR JR. AT THE METROPOLITAN ROOM

Richard Prior, Jr returns to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Friday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm; Saturday, October 4th at 4:00 pm; and Sunday, October 5th at 7:00 pm. Born in Peoria, Illinois, on April 10, 1962, at only 6 months, the first-born son of camed comic/actor Richard Pryor and his first wife, Patricia Watts, had to stay in the hospital for several weeks until he reached 5 pounds - and he was so small, his parents had to buy doll socks to fit his feet. In 1981, Richard entered the Navy and was stationed in San Diego and Virginia Beach - but it was during a stint in Scotland that he continued his desire to perform: He started lip-synching to songs, and started doing drag professionally for the first time back in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Two years later, in 1983, he left the Navy, moved back to Peoria, and became involved in female-impersonation shows and the pageant system, performing on stage with dancers and actors and doing drag until the late 1980s. His mother, Patricia Price, died in 2003, and in 2005, when his comedic icon and award-winning father died of a heart attack, Richard decided to expand on everything he had been working for: As a tribute to his father, this talented singer and actor decided to re-launch his career. No stranger to doing all kinds of things, Richard did porter work but soon learned about the New York Artist Unlimited Theatre - Downeast Art Center - and landed a part in a play at CringeFest, substituting for a cast member. Also, at this time, Richard was becoming more involved with his other love: singing. Not only did he perform at the world-famous Birdland in New York City, as well as at the Metropolitan Room, he became a member and performer at the famed Friars Club. And he sang in numerous venues throughout the U.S., as well as at the Catskills in New York state, the Jazz Celebration Series in upstate New York, Chicago, Indiana and a five-show performance in Michigan. There is a $25 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: DIZZY GILLESPIE ALL-STARS - FALL SUNDAY BRUNCH RESIDENCY

THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) presents the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars for a special Fall Sunday Brunch Residency. The band will perform brunch shows every Sunday with performances at 11:30 am & 1:30 pm, through December 28th. History has produced its share of great artists and great people - legendary jazz trumpeter John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was both. As a performer, he left behind an incredible record of innovation and inspiration; as a composer, a broad repository of musical masterpieces; and as a man, a legion of friends, colleagues and compatriots who remember him with the same degree of love and esteem they reserve for his work. Officially authorized by Lorraine Gillespie, and under the leadership of Dizzy's long-time bassist John Lee, a selection of ensembles of varying sizes were formed, featuring many of the wide variety of musicians who worked with Dizzy plus some newer talents from the jazz scene. Together they are working to continue the legacy of both the music and the personality of this great jazz master who had such a profound impact on twentieth century music. There is a $35 cover. **Price includes brunch, music and a drink.**

NYC: SUNDAY JAZZ BRUNCH WITH GABRIELLE STRAVELLI

Bistro Award winning vocalist, Gabrielle Stravelli, returns with her Sunday Jazz Brunch on August 11th at LE PESCADEUX (90 Thompson Street, NYC - 212-966-0021), a French restaurant in the heart of Soho. They will play three sets from 12:30 to 4:00 pm. She will be joined by Saul Rubin on guitar and Pat O'Leary on bass in this charming boite that offers a great, well-priced menu and cozy atmosphere. Award-winning vocalist Gabrielle Stravelli has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal following through her unique take on material from the new American songbook as well as classic standards by artists as varied as Pink Floyd and Duke Ellington, Dolly Parton and Johnny Mercer. A trained actor, Gabrielle has a soulful sensitivity for the story in the lyric. Gabrielle has performed on stages from Amsterdam to New York including Carnegie Hall, Iridium Jazz Club, Birdland, and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. Reservations are strongly suggested. No cover, no minimum.

TORONTO: JAZZ BRUNCH WITH STEVE AMIRAULT

Steve Amirault, considered to be one of the most accomplished artists in Canada, will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Saturday & Sunday, October 4th & 5th at 11:30 am as part of their Jazz Brunch series. The Nova Scotia-born musician has released five celebrated albums and is currently preparing his new recording, this time delving into timeless songs from the American popular songbook. His world-class piano playing, combined with his rich, soulful baritone voice, make Steve Amirault a performer not to be missed. A celebrated artist, Amirault has won the Montreal International Jazz Festival Competition, the Prix Opus (Album of the Year for his recording, "Breath"), and two Juno Awards (for collaborations with Fran•ois Carrier and Christine Jensen.) This dynamic performer has shared the stage with many great artists such as Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman and has recorded with Sheila Jordan and Eddie Gomez. Recently back from a 5-month solo contract in Japan and newly established in Toronto, Amirault will be performing his new repertoire of personalized standard songs and some original pieces from his last album, "One Existence."

Special Memorial 'Remembering Erv Raible' to be held this Sunday, October 5th

Someone pointed out to me on Tuesday afternoon that I didn't mention the special memorial 'Remembering Erv Raible' to be held this Sunday, October 5th at 3:00 pm at JUDSON MEMORIAL CHURCH (55 Washington Square South, NYC - 212-477-0351 - http://www.judson.org/ ). Honestly, I never received a press release and apparently didn't see a posting on FaceBook that someone made (and I've seen nothing posted in the past several days, including today). I know little else except that there is a reception to follow the service. I assume there will be many performers taking part. Reservations should be e-mailed to CelebratingErv@gmail.com or all Sherryy Eaker at 917-239-5467.

PS: Facebook admits that postings are seen by only about 16% of those on your follower list - they want you to take out an ad to reach more.
