LONDON: LORNA LUFT AT THE CRAZY COQS

Lorna Luft starts off the festive season at THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) once again this year with her brand new Christmas show "Accentuate The Positive." Musical Director is Colin R. Freeman. Performances are Tuesdays through Saturday, December 2nd through 13th at 8:00 pm. Lorna sings many beloved standards, such as Any Place I Hang My Hat is Home, Come Rain Or Come Shine, and Jamboree Jones, and in a special section, Lorna will pay tribute to Johnny Mercer, (dubbed "America's poet"), a close family friend. Mercer, who won 4 Academy Awards, also wrote the lyrics to Judy Garland's television theme song. The song became "Lorna", which Judy Garland sang to her daughter on her television show. Lorna has had starring roles in both television and film and has enjoyed numerous successes on the stage across the globe, including Broadway and the West End. She starred in the blockbuster UK premiere production of Irving Berlin's White Christmas: The Musical, reprised the same role on the first national tour, and at the Papermill Playhouse. Concurrent with her theatrical career, Lorna is a gifted live performer frequently featured as a concert artist at the world's most prestigious venues including The Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall, The London Palladium, and L'Olympia in Paris to name just a few. Her highly acclaimed multi-media production Songs My Mother Taught Me - The Judy Garland Songbook, melds one of the world's most familiar songbooks with personal memories of a loving daughter. Songs My Mother Taught Me, which Variety called "a rousing, dramatically riveting musical event," was awarded two Los Angeles Theatre Alliance Ovation Awards (Best World Premiere Musical & Best Musical Direction). Call for cover/minimum information.

LONDON: MIKE HOBART'S URBAN JAZZ AT THE CRAZY COQS

Mike Hobart's Urban Jazz will perform at THE CRAZY COQS AT BRASSERIE ZEDEL (20 Sherwood St, Piccadilly, London W1F 7ED - 020 7734 4888) on Friday, December 12th at 10:30 pm as part of the club's Late Night Jazz series. Urban Jazz puts it all together, adds new beats and keeps it swinging hard. Texas tenor shouts over Latin funk, and modal jazz bursts out of new-school R&B and hip-hop. Mike Hobart is an experienced and soulful saxophonist who has played with the likes of Esther Phillips and Maceo Parker. His first inspirations came from the flowing freedoms of Miles Davis' 1960's quintet and the soulful blues of Ray Charles, but his style and sound have developed over the years. With Chris Lee (founder member of the 1980s punk-jazz band Pig Bag) on trumpet/effects, Aidrian Reid on keyboards, Greg Gottlieb on double bass and Eric Ford on drums/percussion. Call for cover/minimum information.

LONDON: EDANA MINGHELLA AT THE PHEASANTRY

After releasing her first album, Still on My Feet, produced by the award-winning Liane Carroll, and featuring among others, Guy Barker, Edana has gone from strength to strength. A vocalist with big emotional impact, she was recently described as someone who 'lives the song'. Call for cover/minimum information.
