The youthful exuberance of those two Philly kids from the mid-'70s is still very much alive in Soul Intent, Pieces of a Dream's latest effort on Heads Up. It's that kind of innovation and eclecticism that keeps Pieces of a Dream fresh and authentic in a jazz world that's ever-changing. Call for cover/minimum information.

NYC: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT 6 PM AT BIRDLAND

NYC: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT 6 PM  AT BIRDLAND

NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays at 6:00 pm. She is joined by her long-time bassist Jay Leonhart. Barbara Carroll's still evolving career as a jazz pianist began when she played her first New York engagement opposite Dizzy Gillespie's big band at the Downbeat Club in 1947. A thrilling if a trifle unsettling debut for a young female pianist from Worcester, Massachusetts who began playing the piano at five and who's family was wise enough to give her lessons that provided her with a basic knowledge of classical technique. In 1978, she was booked into the Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle hotel for a two week engagement - and stayed for twenty five years. It was at the Carlyle that she began to feature her singing as an integral part of her performances. Following her 25 years at the Carlyle, she is well into another long run in the famous Oak Room at New York's Algonquin Hotel, making a significant and successful effort to incorporate jazz playing into a cabaret venue. Other recent engagements have included concerts at Philharmonic Hall in Naples, Florida, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, concerts at the Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as twelve sold out performances at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

Patti Issues will be performed by Ben Rimalower at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) on Saturdays in June at 9:30 pm. Patti Issues mark's Rimalower's debut as a playwright and performer, after serving as the director of numerous Off-Broadway plays, concerts and all-star benefits (and blogging for the Huffington Post). With a mix of comic irreverence, stark candor and show-biz bravado, Patti Issues poignantly explores the challenges facing LGBT parents and children while shining unique light on gay men's time-old obsessions with divas. When Ben Rimalower was eight years old, his father came out of the closet and embarked on a drug-fueled tear that left his family in tatters. Amid the chaos of his young life, Ben found comfort - like so many gay boys before him and after - in musical theater, and specifically in the transportive voice of Broadway star Patti LuPone. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

LONDON CABARET: GREGG EDELMAN IN BROADWAY STATE OF MIND - SHOW CLOSES TONIGHT!

Gregg Edelman brings his unique show BROADWAY STATE OF MIND to THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) on Tuesday through Saturday, June 25th through 29th at 8:00 pm. The show is an unmissable concert of show-stopping music combined with the sort of industry insider stories about life on and off the Broadway stage that only a four times Tony Award nominee like Edelman could know. In his thirty years on the stage, television and film, Gregg has starred in a string of Broadway shows from Cats to Anything Goes, all leading to the starring role in the Best Musical of 1989, City of Angels. His performance as Stine earned Gregg his first Tony nomination and consolidated his position as one of the most highly regarded romantic Broadway leads of his generation. In 1994, Gregg originated the role of Colonel Ricci in Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical Passion. That production led to Sondheim casting Gregg as Prince Charming in Into The Woods and Sweeney in Sweeney Todd. Other celebrated roles have been Javert in Les Miserables, Robert Baker in the revival of Wonderful Town and Dr. Alexandre Manette in A Tale of Two Cities. Gregg also appears with several leading orchestras. His many appearances at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops have given Gregg the opportunity to honour such friends as Kander & Ebb, Jerry Herman and Charles Strouse. Call for cover/minimum information.

Her first album, "Keep It To Yourself," announced to the world that the sophisticated vocal style of the 1940s and '50s was still alive and well. Now, her second album, "Necessary Evil," extends that legacy of great music even further, and in new and exciting directions. On the film noir-themed "Necessary Evil," Laura and her partner/ producer/ pianist Brian Piper (2011 Dallas Jazz Musician of the Year and leader of the Newport Jazz Beach Party spotlight group, the Brian Piper Trio) offer a collection of terrific songs from the 1920s to today, all about love. Not love as a happily-ever-after fairy tale, but love with a twist: songs of heartache, lust, infatuation, fantasy, self-delusion and all the other aspects that sometimes make it feel less like a beautiful dream than a "necessary evil." Call for cover/minimum information.

The show is an unmissable concert of show-stopping music combined with the sort of industry insider stories about life on and off the Broadway stage that only a four times Tony Award nominee like Edelman could know. In his thirty years on the stage, television and film, Gregg has starred in a string of Broadway shows from Cats to Anything Goes, all leading to the starring role in the Best Musical of 1989, City of Angels. His performance as Stine earned Gregg his first Tony nomination and consolidated his position as one of the most highly regarded romantic Broadway leads of his generation. In 1994, Gregg originated the role of Colonel Ricci in Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical Passion. That production led to Sondheim casting Gregg as Prince Charming in Into The Woods and Sweeney in Sweeney Todd. Other celebrated roles have been Javert in Les Miserables, Robert Baker in the revival of Wonderful Town and Dr. Alexandre Manette in A Tale of Two Cities. Gregg also appears with several leading orchestras. His many appearances at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops have given Gregg the opportunity to honour such friends as Kander & Ebb, Jerry Herman and Charles Strouse.
