CABARET TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - SAN FRANCISCO FROM CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

CABARET TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES - SAN FRANCISCO FROM CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com

LOS ANGELES: OAK STREET BLUES AT THE GARDENIA

Oak Street Blues will perform at THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444) on Thursday, April 17th at 9:00 pm. An Alternative Folk/Country band based in L.A., whose influences include Tom Petty, Traveling Wilburys, The Flaming Lips, Wilco, and My Morning Jacket, Oak Street Blues was founded by lead singer/guitarist Chris Hall, a 15-year veteran of several bands spanning genres as diverse as Gangsta Rap and Rocakabilly. With bass player Jenny Arias, keyboardist Stephanie Sheer, and drummer Alejandra Arellano, the sound of Oak Street Blues "captures the feeling of what makes a man crazy about women, heartbreak, and '55 Buicks." Energetic and unpredictable, their shows feature a mix of original tunes and eclectic covers. Call for cover/minimum information.

SAN FRANCISCO: SLICK RICK THE RULER AT YOSHI'S

Celebrating The 25th Anniversary of The Great Adventures of Slick Rick,YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600) presents 'Slick Rick The Ruler' on Thursday, April 17th at 8:30 pm. Born to Jamaican parents in South Wimbledon, London, on January 14, 1965, Slick Rick, born Ricky Martin Lloyd Walters, who has always been considered ahead of his time, is the most successful British-American rapper in music history. Brilliant word play, the effort-less ability to bring life to the stories he rhymed about, dead on pop-culture references and hilarious one-liners make him the wittiest rapper of all time. There's nothing like the Slick Rick Experience. Every album is a parallel universe where old-time radio and urban culture collide. Aural theater merges with ghetto fantasy. Rick becomes a character actor with voice-throwing chops a ventriloquist would envy and narrative powers greater than Stephen King. In theory, it all seems preposterous - impossible to pull off. But because Rick has such a genuine gift on the mic - dexterity, cleverness, wit, articulation, fluidity - it works like gangbusters. Open Dance Floor. Dinner/Show: $73 Show only: $35.

SAN FRANCISCO: BROADWAY & WEST END STAR SIERRA BOGGESS AT FEINSTEIN'S

After a sold-out engagement in January 2014, Broadway and West End star, Sierra Boggess, returns toFEINSTEIN'S AT THE NIKKO (222 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - 866-663-1063) for three performances only: Thursday & Friday, April 17th & 18th at 8:00 pm, and Saturday, April 19th at 7:00 pm. Broadway knows her as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera and as aspiring opera star Sharon Graham in Master Class. London knows her for her Olivier Award-nominated performance in Love Never Dies and as Fantine in Les Miserables. Now, San Francisco audiences will, once again, see a brand new side of this Drama Desk and Olivier Award-nominated actress as she brings back her acclaimed one-woman show, Awakening. One of Broadway's most promising new talents, audiences can expect a range of tunes from songwriters both new and old, and vocals that stretch from the sublime to the divine. Boggess will be joined on-stage by Summer Boggess on cello and Brian Hertz (Musical Director) on piano. An album of Awakening - recorded in August 2013 at 54 Below in New York City - will be available for purchase that evening. There is a $35-$45 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.

BOSTON: RIVERSIDE: DOUGLAS DOXAS SWALLOW

Douglas Doxas Swallow presents 'Riverside' at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Thursday, April 17th at 7:30 pm. Anyone who has followed the career of trumpeter Dave Douglas, knows that he has been strongly influenced by and paid his own tributes to a wide range of music - from Lester Bowie to Mary Lou Williams to Joni Mitchell to Booker Little to Don Cherry and Wayne Shorter. However, few to date know of his admiration for the late clarinetist and erstwhile saxophonist Jimmy Giuffre. Douglas, like Giuffre, constantly reinvents himself, never allowing himself to be defined by one project or association. Similarly, Douglas' main collaborator in Riverside, Canadian saxophonist Chet Doxas, has led a career of great variety - from touring with Canadian pop and folk singers Sam Roberts and Rufus Wainwright to leading bands with Canada's leading jazz players such as Oliver Jones and Guido Basso as well as stints with American jazz stars Maria Schneider, Joe Lovano, Jason Moran, and Bill Stewart. The quartet, co-led by Douglas, on trumpet, and Doxas, on clarinet and tenor saxophone, has a rhythm section comprised of Steve Swallow (a former member of the Jimmy Giuffre 3) on electric bass and Jim Doxas (Chet's brother and frequent collaborator) on drums. Riverside blends a love for improvised music, bluegrass, sacred hymns and Appalachian music to create an aesthetic rooted in both Americana and jazz. There is a $30 cover.

BOSTON: BENNY GREEN AT SCULLERS

Benny Green performs atSCULLERS JAZZ CLUB(400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Wednesday, April 16th at 8:00 pm. Green possesses the history of jazz at his fingertips. Combine mastery of keyboard technique with decades of real world experience playing with no one less than the most celebrated artists of the last half century, and it's no wonder Green has been hailed as perhaps the most exciting hard-swinging, hard-bop pianist to ever emerge from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Green's historic Sunnyside release Magic Beans in 2013 marks Benny's first self-produced trio recording of all original compositions in a career that spans decades: notably as a star sideman with Betty Carter, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, and Ray Brown and culminating in over 20 years as a leader himself. Dinner/Show: $70 Show only: $30.

BOSTON: SARA GAZAREK & PETER ELDRIDGE DUO DOUBLE BILL

The Sara Gazarek Duo (Sara Gazarek, vocals & Josh Nelson, piano) and the Peter Eldridge Duo (Peter Eldridge, vocals & Matt Aronoff, bass) will perform in a double feature jazz show at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:30 pm. The piano is the most versatile of all instruments. It can become a suit of armor or a bouquet of flowers. It can keep time and it can stop time. When paired with the human voice, the possibilities are limitless but the outcome is unpredictable. Vocalist Sara Gazarek and pianist Josh Nelson have aligned their musical spirits in a way that would make any artistic duo envious. Gazarek's top flight interpretations of the vast and varied American songbook are buoyed by the sensitivity of Nelson's supple command and they have transfixed audiences from New York to Tokyo. They have a telepathic understanding that has come about through more than a decade of friendship, not just hundreds of hours on the bandstand and it blankets any audience lucky enough to hear their swinging high-wire act of trust and commitment. and raised in Southern California, Josh Nelson is a first-call jazz pianist, composer, teacher, and recording artist. At 35 years old, he has already performed and worked with some of the most respected names in music. 'Foolish Hearts' is a relatively new duo featuring vocalist/ pianist/ composer Peter Eldridge (grammy-winning New York Voices, MOSS) and upright bassist/composer Matt Aronoff. Having joined forces a little more than a year ago, Foolish Hearts presents its own originals and arrangements of favorite jazz and pop tunes with an organic sensibility combining voices, piano, bass and percussion. The duo has toured the west coast and Europe, including a week in Latvia last Spring, and performs regularly in NYC. Peter and Matt just released the duo's first studio project, an EP entitled 'New Definition'. Peter recently released his fourth solo album called 'Mad Heaven' on the Palmetto label, which Jazz Review said "showcases Eldridge as a major player in vocal jazz, an artist of extraordinary depth and conviction'. Matt is an up and coming sideman on the New York music scene. You can also hear him as a member of the electro-pop band Xylos. There is a $25 cover.

Kalabash (Colleen Allen - Saxes, Flute, Clarinet; Andrew Stewart - Electric bass; Michael Shand - Keyboards, Vocals; Joaquin Nunez-Hidalgo - Drums; Anthony Pierre - Percussion; Gareth Burgess - Steel Drums) is a contemporary jazz sextet, unique in its use of the steel drum as a lead voice in a jazz ensemble.

The result of this fusion is a scintillating blend of North American and Caribbean contemporary jazz expression. There is a $12 cover.
