May 2011 marked a milestone for Karrin and Concord Jazz with the release of Round Midnight, the thirteenth album in a series dating back to her 1992 debut album "I Didn't Know About You." Music lovers and critics around the world have been celebrating Allyson's name, marveling at the range of this extraordinary musician, who moves with such ease and authority from the Great American Songbook of Gershwin and Porter to the Great American Jazz Songbook of Duke and Thelonius and Miles and Dizzy, jet-setting to Rio and Paris and swinging back home to pick up Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell and Jimmy Webb. What unites this wide world of music and brings it together and makes sense of it all, is Karrin Allyson's warmth and depth. She's not just singing a lyric, she's telling you her story.

NYC: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT BIRDLAND

NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays in October 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, at Jazz at Lincoln Center. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

NYC: STANLEY CLARKE & THE HARLEM QUARTET AT THE BLUE NOTE

Stanley Clarke & the Harlem Quartet will perform at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, October 8th through 13th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Stanley Clarke was among the first bassists in history to double on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity and was the first bassist ever to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide. Exploding into the jazz world in 1971, he soon landed jobs with famous bandleaders like Horace Silver, Dexter Gordon, Joe Henderson, Gil Evans, and Chick Corea, with whom he formed the seminal fusion group Return to Forever. Clarke has won literally every major award available to a bass player: Grammys, Emmys, every readers' poll out there, all the critics' polls, and numerous Gold and Platinum certifications. He garnered his most recent Grammy Awards for his 2010 album The Stanley Clarke Band and for Return to Forever's 2011 release Forever. For this show Clarke is joined by Michael Mitchell on drums and Beka Gochiashvili on piano. The HARLEM QUARTET (Ilmar Gavilan, violin; Melissa White, violin; Jaime Amador, viola; Matthew Zalkind, cello) is currently the resident ensemble in the New England Conservatory of Music's Professional String Quartet Program. Its mission is to advance diversity in classical music while engaging young and new audiences through the discovery and presentation of varied repertoire, highlighting works by minority composers. There is a $30-$45 cover.

NYC: GINGER BAKER AT THE IRIDIUM

Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker, an English drummer, best known for playing with Cream and Blind Faith, will perform atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Wednesday through Sunday, October 9th through 13th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Baker is also known for his numerous associations with World music, mainly the use of African influences. He has also had other collaborations with Gary Moore, Hawkwind and Public Image Ltd. Baker's drumming attracted attention for its flamboyance, showmanship and his use of two bass drums instead of the conventional single bass kick drum (following a similar set-up used by Louie Bellson during his days with Duke Ellington). Although a firmly established rock drummer and praised as "Rock's first superstar drummer", he prefers being called a jazz drummer. Baker's influence has extended to drummers of both genres, including Billy Cobham, Peter Criss, Bill Ward, Ian Paice, Nick Mason, and John Bonham. While at times performing in a similar way to Keith Moon from The Who, Baker also employs a more restrained style influenced by the British jazz groups he heard during the late 1950s and early 1960s. In his early days as a drummer, he performed lengthy drum solos, the best known being the five-minute drum solo "Toad" from Cream's debut album Fresh Cream (1966). He is also noted for using a variety of other percussion instruments and for his application of African rhythms. He would often emphasize the flam, a drum rudiment in which both sticks attack the drumhead at almost the same time, giving a heavy thunderous sound. There is a $50-$60 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

NYC: KENNY BARRON PLATINUM BAND AT DIZZY'S

NEA Jazz Master and nine-time GRAMMY® Award nominee, pianist Kenny Barron will perform atDIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9595) on Wednesday through Sunday, October 9th through 13th with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm to celebrate his 70th birthday with an exquisite repertoire of original music, including modern classics that span his work with Stan Getz, Yusef Lateef, James Moody, and Dizzy Gillespie. Praised endlessly for both his sensitivity and virtuosity, Barron is undisputedly one of the top jazz pianists in the world, and Dizzy's is thrilled to feature the Dizzy's debut of his "youthful," but highly credited Platinum Band. This is just one stop on the group's Platinum Tour, so don't miss the opportunity to catch them while they're in town at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Call for cover/minimum information.

D.C.: ROY HARGROVE AT BLUES ALLEY

Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Roy Hargrove will perform at BLUES ALLEY(1073 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC - 202-337-4141) on Tuesday through Sunday, October 8th through 13th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. Hargrove has firmly established himself as among the premier players in jazz and beyond. The Dallas born trumpeter has never been short of hipness. Mentored as a teenager by Wynton Marsalis, he has a flaring tone and a lyrical warmth; his fusing of traditional and contemporary music turns his gigs into exuberant jazz history lessons. With a band including the excellent New Orleans-born pianist Sullivan Fortner, and formidable young drummer Quincy Phillips, Hargrove's snappy phrase turns and vibrato-laden long notes, pared with alto saxist Justin Robinson's fluent improvisations, embellish his usual selection of swingers and Latin shuffles. Call for cover/minimum information.

MORE CABARET EVENTS TONIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY

NYC: KIM COLES: OH BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

After a sold out run in February, Kim Coles, the hilarious star of hit TV shows Living Single, Frasier and In Living Color, will return to THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) with her acclaimed one-woman show OH BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!. Written and performed by Kim Coles and directed by Scotch Ellis Loring, this limited engagement will be presented for five performances only, on Friday through Sunday, October 11th, 12th & 13th at 7:30 pm. OH BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! chronicles the ebb and flow of Kim Coles' showbiz rise with Hollywood-insider stories, multi-media features and even an interpretive dance number! After Fox's groundbreaking hit comedy Living Single got cancelled, Kim realized that nothing compares to the free food, personalized parking space, and sweet perks of showbiz success. As pilot seasons came and went and residual checks all got spent, she had to breakdown in order to break through and find true meaning beyond the glitz and glam of the red carpet. With her signature sass and smile and irrepressible, goofy charm, Kim presents a side-splitting show that will make you laugh and inspire you, too. Call for cover/minimum information.
