During the '70s, she could be found performing Joni Mitchell songs behind an acoustic guitar, in front of a large funk band, or in the company of longtime friends in an all-girls band. In the '80s, Wilson moved to New Orleans and performed with Earl Turbinton and Ellis Marsalis. Quite by accident, she was relocated to East Orange, New Jersey, where she made a decision to take her chances on the New York jazz scene. After a stint as the main vocalist with Steve Coleman's M-Base Collective, she began recording on her own. In 2000 Wilson returned to Mississippi to establish Ojah Media Group, an independent multi-media entity dedicated to documenting and marketing the unique sounds emanating from Mississippi's fertile soil and its multi-cultural influences. The group's roster includes Yoruban musician Lekan Babalola and singer-songwriter Rhonda Richmond. There is a $35-$55 cover.

Saxophonist and composer Elijah Jamal Balbed is one of Washington, DC's most acclaimed young musicians. His 2012 debut album release, entitled Checking In, was named #4 Best Jazz CD in 2012 by Capitol Bop, and received great reviews. The title track from this album made it to the semi-final round of the 2012-2013 International Songwriters Competition, among other renowned artists including Rene Marie, Gregory Porter, Lionel Loueke, and others. The same track is also used as a jingle on DC's only jazz radio station, WPFW.

CABARET TONIGHT IN DC: PATRICIA BARBER AT BLUES ALLEY

CABARET TONIGHT IN DC: PATRICIA BARBER AT BLUES ALLEY

Barber is a study in contradictions. She is one of the most highly sought-after concert artists in jazz, and one of the most difficult to get. Her music is uniquely hers; she doesn't explain it for herself. She doesn't have a TV, she isn't a voting member of NARAS. She is at once a big success and a well-kept secret. She will turn down most offers, choosing instead to study, compose, practice the piano, polish a language, or tend to her family and garden. She is elusive but pulls out all the stops at the few venues where she chooses to perform throughout the year. She regularly sells out concerts in European Capitals from Lisbon to Moscow. Paris is her musical second home. Call for cover/minimum information.

CABARET TONIGHT IN BOSTON: DERRICK HODGE CD RELEASE AT REGATTABAR

CABARET TONIGHT IN BOSTON: DERRICK HODGE CD RELEASE AT REGATTABAR

The Boston CD release show for the extraordinary bassist and composer Derrick Hodge's debut album on Blue Note Records, Live Today! will be presented at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Friday, September 6th at 7:30 pm. He is joined on stage by Christian Sands, keys; Travis Sayles, keys; and Mark Colenburg, drums. Live Today signals a new journey for bassist and composer Derrick Hodge as he embarks on a solo recording career. The title alludes to his top guiding principle in creating his debut album, a stunning achievement that showcases the profound depth and breadth of his musicality. Even though Hodge has played with such jazz titans as pianist Mulgrew Miller and trumpeter (and labelmate) Terence Blanchard, as well as R&B stars Jill Scott and Maxwell, the 33-year-old bassist is probably best known for anchoring the Grammy award-winning Robert Glasper Experiment. Similar to how Glasper concocts a distinctive melange of modern jazz, hip-hop, and R&B, Live Today too integrates those genres and more into something that's potent and personal. However, it is no Experiment offshoot. Similarities aside, the Live Today asserts a unique sound. There is a $25 cover.

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: CASSANDRA WILSON AT THE BLUE NOTE

Read any of the dozen or so biographies on jazz-pop chanteuse Cassandra Wilson and you'll discover some basics. She was born and reared in Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1960s and '70s by musician and educator parents. She studied piano for 13 years and played clarinet in junior high concert and marching bands. During the '70s, she could be found performing Joni Mitchell songs behind an acoustic guitar, in front of a large funk band, or in the company of longtime friends in an all-girls band. In the '80s, Wilson moved to New Orleans and performed with Earl Turbinton and Ellis Marsalis. Quite by accident, she was relocated to East Orange, New Jersey, where she made a decision to take her chances on the New York jazz scene. After a stint as the main vocalist with Steve Coleman's M-Base Collective, she began recording on her own. In 2000 Wilson returned to Mississippi to establish Ojah Media Group, an independent multi-media entity dedicated to documenting and marketing the unique sounds emanating from Mississippi's fertile soil and its multi-cultural influences. The group's roster includes Yoruban musician Lekan Babalola and singer-songwriter Rhonda Richmond. There is a $35-$55 cover.
