CABARET EVENTS FOR N.Y. STATE, NEW ENGLAND & CANADA FOR THIS DATE FROM CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

CABARET EVENTS FOR N.Y. STATE, NEW ENGLAND & CANADA FOR THIS DATE FROM CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE 
Here are today's cabaret events as listed on the home page of CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE! Every day in every way we're promoting Cabaret! Your event missing? Send press releases to stuhamstra@svhamstra.com to be included - listings are FREE!
N.Y. STATE: ECHOING BACK: THE SONGS OF JOHNNY MERCER
Fort Salem Theater once again provides a launching pad for new musical material as Broadway dance guru Karin Baker (42nd Street, Me and My Girl) introduces to the world-at-large her new concert salute to Broadway and Hollywood songwriter Johnny Mercer, in her show 'Echoing Back: The Songs of Johnny Mercer' at The MAINSTAGE AT FORT SALEM THEATER(11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) for one weekend only, Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th at 8:00 pm and Sunday, June 29th at 2:00 pm. Born in 1909 in Savannah, Georgia, Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics prodigiously from the 1930's to the 1970's, winning four Original Song Academy Awards and scoring dozens of recognizable hits. His Oscar songs, "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" (1946), "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" (1951), "Moon River" (1961), and "The Days of Wine and Roses" (1962) only begin to document Mercer's lasting effect on pop music in the twentieth century. Whether it was his early Hollywood lyric collaborations with Richard Whiting ("Too Marvelous for Words" and "Hooray for Hollywood") or his bi-coastal collaborations with Harold Arlen ("Blues in the Night," "Old Black Magic," "One for My Baby," "Come Rain or Come Shine"), or his own music and lyrics in "Dream," "I Wanna Be Around," and "G.I. Jive," his songs illustrate how an era's music could reflect a smoldering sensuality that bespeaks a romanticism unequaled in our modern era of blatantly obscene lyrics. Karin Baker has taken these songs and more written by Johnny Mercer and woven them into a performance of song and dance with three Broadway performers and Fort Salem's own artistic director, Jay Kerr, featuring Granville CSD music teacher Tim Patrick on bass. Call for cover/minimum information.
BOSTON: FOURPLAY AT SCULLERS
The contemporary jazz quartet known as Fourplay will perform at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. For two decades, the group has enjoyed consistent artistic and commercial success by grafting elements of R&B, pop and a variety of other sounds to their unwavering jazz foundations. In the course of a dozen recordings - six of which have climbed to the top of Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Album charts - the super group has continued to explore the limitless dimensions and permutations of jazz while at the same time appealing to a broad mainstream audience. Call for cover/minimum information.
TORONTO: TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL: OLIVER JONES TRIO
The Oliver Jones Trio will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Jazz pianist Oliver Jones is one of Canada's most beloved and admired musicians and most distinguished cultural ambassadors. A legend in the international jazz community, he has toured tirelessly in Canada and around the world and has devoted much of his time to encouraging young Canadian musicians as they begin their careers. Oliver Jones "retired" in 2000 but still makes over 20 appearances yearly, including numerous charity benefits. In recent years he has contributed his expertise to the du Maurier Arts Council, served as artistic director of the jazz segment of the Montreal Chamber Music Festival, and acted as consultant to Georges Durst, founder/owner of the House of Jazz in Montreal. In 2006 he released "One More Time", with bassist Dave Young and drummer Jim Doxas. Perhaps alluding to his reemergence on the concert front and the recording studio, after his brief but much-publicized retirement, Oliver chose to name the opus One More Time. It's one of his best recordings to date, in a career filled with superlative achievements. Oliver's 2007 recording, Second Time Around, with drummer Jim Doxas and bassist Eric Lagace, won the Juno Award for Best Mainstream Jazz Recording.

MANHATTAN: BARBARA CARROLL SATURDAYS AT BIRDLAND
NYC Cabaret/Jazz icon Barbara Carroll performs at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Saturdays, June 14th, 21st & 28th 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.

Her newest release, a nine-song trio recording simply titled Voice, expresses a range of human emotions without the aid of a single lyric. Voice is set for a June 7, 2011, release on Telarc, a division of Concord Music Group. Although a mesmerizing instrumentalist in her own right, Hiromi enlists the aid of two equally formidable players for this project - bassist Anthony Jackson (Paul Simon, The O'Jays, Steely Dan, Chick Corea) and drummer Simon Phillips (The Who, Judas Priest, David Gilmour, Jack Bruce). Jackson had previously played on a couple tracks from each of Hiromi's first two albums - Another Mind in 2003 and Brain in 2004 - but they had never recorded an entire album together.

N.Y. STATE: ECHOING BACK: THE SONGS OF JOHNNY MERCER
Fort Salem Theater once again provides a launching pad for new musical material as Broadway dance guru Karin Baker (42nd Street, Me and My Girl) introduces to the world-at-large her new concert salute to Broadway and Hollywood songwriter Johnny Mercer, in her show 'Echoing Back: The Songs of Johnny Mercer' at The MAINSTAGE AT FORT SALEM THEATER(11 East Broadway, Salem, NY - 518-854-9200) for one weekend only, Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th at 8:00 pm and Sunday, June 29th at 2:00 pm. Born in 1909 in Savannah, Georgia, Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics prodigiously from the 1930's to the 1970's, winning four Original Song Academy Awards and scoring dozens of recognizable hits. His Oscar songs, "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" (1946), "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" (1951), "Moon River" (1961), and "The Days of Wine and Roses" (1962) only begin to document Mercer's lasting effect on pop music in the twentieth century. Whether it was his early Hollywood lyric collaborations with Richard Whiting ("Too Marvelous for Words" and "Hooray for Hollywood") or his bi-coastal collaborations with Harold Arlen ("Blues in the Night," "Old Black Magic," "One for My Baby," "Come Rain or Come Shine"), or his own music and lyrics in "Dream," "I Wanna Be Around," and "G.I. Jive," his songs illustrate how an era's music could reflect a smoldering sensuality that bespeaks a romanticism unequaled in our modern era of blatantly obscene lyrics. Karin Baker has taken these songs and more written by Johnny Mercer and woven them into a performance of song and dance with three Broadway performers and Fort Salem's own artistic director, Jay Kerr, featuring Granville CSD music teacher Tim Patrick on bass. Call for cover/minimum information.

Born in 1909 in Savannah, Georgia, Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics prodigiously from the 1930's to the 1970's, winning four Original Song Academy Awards and scoring dozens of recognizable hits. His Oscar songs, "On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" (1946), "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" (1951), "Moon River" (1961), and "The Days of Wine and Roses" (1962) only begin to document Mercer's lasting effect on pop music in the twentieth century.

BOSTON: FOURPLAY AT SCULLERS
The contemporary jazz quartet known as Fourplay will perform at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111) on Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm.

Call for cover/minimum information.
BOSTON: LOOKIE LOOKIE PLAYS LATIN BUGALU
Lookie Lookie will perform at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel(1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Friday, June 27th at 7:30 pm. Lookie Lookie is a septet playing Latin Bugalu, a crossover genre pioneered primarily by Puerto Rican New Yorkers in the 1960s. The most famous exponents are Joe Cuba and Ricardo Ray. The music was created in an attempt to bring Latin music to a mainstream audience, and the result mixes a bit of funk and blues into the Afro-Caribbean matrix, along with English as well as Spanish singing. Lookie Lookie transforms the genre by changing the instrumentation, replacing piano with saxes and augmenting the percussion. Paradoxically, the transformation makes the band sound sometimes like the early soukous bands of the Congo. The players' jazz and rock roots assure that the group is entertaining and earthy while maintaining a strong improvisational element. The members of LL are veterans of the Boston-area music scene. The founder and leader is Chris Maclachlan, who played bass in the seminal New Wave band Human Sexual Response. Percussionist Rick Barry toured for many years with Bim Skala Bim; percussionist/vocalist Vicente Lebron is a pillar of Boston's Latin music scene and a long time member of the Either/Orchestra and Club d'Elf; sax/flute man Russ Gershon leads the Either/Orchestra and trumpet Scott Getchell plays in Agachiko and Lars Vegas. For their Regattabar debut, Lookie Lookie will be bringing two special guests: percussionist and singer Jorge Arce has been a force on the Boston (and Puerto Rico) scene for decades, leading his band Humano. Saxophonist Jared Sims is a versatile and amazing player who will add fresh energy to the group. There is an $18 cover.
TORONTO: TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL: OLIVER JONES TRIO
The Oliver Jones Trio will perform at THE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Friday & Saturday, June 27th & 28th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. Jazz pianist Oliver Jones is one of Canada's most beloved and admired musicians and most distinguished cultural ambassadors. A legend in the international jazz community, he has toured tirelessly in Canada and around the world and has devoted much of his time to encouraging young Canadian musicians as they begin their careers. Oliver Jones "retired" in 2000 but still makes over 20 appearances yearly, including numerous charity benefits. In recent years he has contributed his expertise to the du Maurier Arts Council, served as artistic director of the jazz segment of the Montreal Chamber Music Festival, and acted as consultant to Georges Durst, founder/owner of the House of Jazz in Montreal. In 2006 he released "One More Time", with bassist Dave Young and drummer Jim Doxas. Perhaps alluding to his reemergence on the concert front and the recording studio, after his brief but much-publicized retirement, Oliver chose to name the opus One More Time. It's one of his best recordings to date, in a career filled with superlative achievements. Oliver's 2007 recording, Second Time Around, with drummer Jim Doxas and bassist Eric Lagace, won the Juno Award for Best Mainstream Jazz Recording.
