CABARET EVENTS FOR WEST COAST FOR SATURDAY, AUGUST 23rd FROM CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE

New Orleans native Liz "Lomax" Goldstein will perform at THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444) on Saturday, August 23rd at 9:00 pm. Liz studied and performed with Dini Clarke. As an actress, she is known to Los Angeles audiences for her stage roles as Josephine Baker in Sang Sista Sang, (produced by Smokey Robinson;) as "Betsy" in the musical comedy, Dates from Hell, written by Karen Ann Knotts; for her work in Bruce Bonafede's Advice to the Players; and for her romp in Frank Mohr's comedy, Big Baby.

SAN FRANCISCO: PHIL PERRY AT YOSHI'S
Smooth jazz and R&B vocalist Phil Perry will perform at YOSHI'S (1330 Fillmore Street, San Francisco, CA - 415-655-5600 ) on Saturday & Sunday, August 23rd & 24th at 8:00 pm. A great vocalist has a way of inhabiting a song, living it and making it their own. It takes especially great powers of interpretation for a singer to take a song definitively recorded by a legendary artist and give it new life with a fresh interpretation. Phil Perry takes on the ultimate challenge with the opening track of his new album, the indelible "You Send Me," recorded in classic style by the peerless Sam Cooke, whose own unique phrasing style actually shapes the melody of the tune, which he wrote. Yet Phil Perry transforms the song while still retaining its essence, opening in "old school" style and then transmuting it into contemporary soul music. Few singers around today could have done it but those who have experienced the magic of Phil Perry's talent will not be surprised. There is a $33-$36 cover.

Ottmar Liebert's incredible global success on a musical level often seems like a simple outgrowth of his cultural background and powerful wanderlust in his formative years. Born in Cologne, Germany to Chinese-German father and Hungarian mother, he began playing guitar at 11, and traveled extensively through Europe and Asia intent on fully absorbing each musical tradition he encountered. After pursuing his Rock and Roll dreams first in his native Germany and then in Boston, he abandoned the frustrations of the East coast and settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. By 1989, he had founded the first incarnation of his new band Luna Negra. Nouveau Flamenco began life as a self-produced local release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Indian artist Frank Howell distributed in his art galleries. When the record found its way to radio stations and began generating a buzz among programmers and an unprecedented response among listeners, Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version. Liebert has since become one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decade, thrilling audiences throughout the world and releasing a catalog of classic recordings. There is a $29-$54 cover.
