PHILADELPHIA CABARET!: SUSIE MEISSNER AT CHRIS JAZZ CAFE
Susie Meissner will be appearing atCHRIS JAZZ CAFE (1421 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, PA - 215-568-3131) on Thursday, May 30th with sets from 8:00 pm to midnight. She is accompanied by her band (John Swana - EVI; Larry McKenna - sax; Byron Landham - Drums; Lee Smith - Bass; and John Shaddy - Piano). Susie sings and swings with a lush tone and playful rhythm. Growing up in Buffalo, N.Y., Susie surrounded herself in music through piano and vocal lessons, choirs, glee clubs, school musicals, and performances with local professional singing groups. Her grandmother played stride piano and her sheet music from the 20s and 30s inspired Susie to look back into the Great American songbook. In her youth, Susie began to explore the world of jazz through the recordings of Ella Fitzgerald, and after witnessing the performances by jazz greats such as Earl "Fatha" Hines, Kenny Burrell and Nancy Wilson, her interest was piqued and she started down the jazz discovery road. To date, Susie has recorded or performed with Jazz greats including Wycliffe Gordon, Brian Lynch, Joe Magnarelli, John Swana, Freddie Hendrix, Martin Wind, Dean Johnson, Tim Horner, Lee Smith, Byron Landham and Matt Wilson. Call for cover/minimum information.
