MASSACHUSETTS: "THE MUSIC BOX PLAYS ON" IN BRIGHTON

Will McMillan, Ashley Lieberman, Sheryl Altman and Bill Zoli star in "The Music Box Plays On" at the BRIGHTON BRANCH OF THE BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY (40 Academy Hill Road, Brighton, MA - 617-782-6032 - ) on Saturday, November 2nd at 2:00 pm. McMillan is a classy compelling singer. You hear him, and he invites you into his story and his heart. His exhuberant presentation and soothing silky voice tells you this familiar song is suddenly striking an entirely different cord...one you never quite heard before. Mix that energy with the likes of Ashley Lieberman. Besides the distinctively rich colors and tone to her vocal quality, her expressive, amusing and unconventional style captures your attention. A duet with the both of them is heavenly and a real "Sondheim". Sheryl Altman is true to her showmanship on every level, be it an old classic or a song from a more recent musical production. She brings her sophisticated playfulness to every role, and does a fine job with "character" acting. What rings through is her focus and sincerity with the lyric. Bill Zolli's beautiful voice, singing some of the finest tunes from Broadway with such clarity and distinction is not to be missed definitely nostalgia rings in on some of those cherished (not to be forgotten) melodies, and how he masters them. Bonnie MacLeod, Music Director of the show, Sara Curry directs. Call for cover/minimum information.

Regina's is a different story. Even as the New Jersey native rode high in the urban charts throughout the '80s and '90s with such urban classics as "Baby Come to Me," "Make It Like It Was" and "What Goes Around," faith, churchgoing, and gospel music remained at the very core of her life in the spotlight. Today, Belle is a pastor's wife and minister of music at New Shield of Faith Ministries in Atlanta, where her husband, John S. Battle III, is senior pastor. Call for cover/minimum information.

With a discography that includes 36 titles, Mr. Palmieri has been awarded nine Grammy Awards. In 2005, Mr. Palmieri received a series of prestigious awards: he received the Alice Tully African Heritage Award from City College, received the Harlem Renaissance Award and was inducted into both the Bronx Walk of Fame and the Chicago Walk of Fame. He also received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Urban Latino Magazine. He acted as Godfather of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City and received the EL Award from El Diario Newspaper. Born in Spanish Harlem in 1936, Eddie began piano studies at an early age, as did his celebrated older brother, the late Salsa legend and pianist, Charlie Palmieri. He began his professional career as a pianist in the early '50s with Eddie Forrester's Orchestra. He then formed his own band, the legendary "La Perfecta" in 1961. La Perfecta demonstrated the early stages of Palmieri's unconventional means of orchestration. What resulted was a fusion that moved effortlessly from mood, groove, texture and excitement with its multi-dimensional guitar, funky piano riffs, notable brass and unforgettable rhythm section. There is a $45 cover.
