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.

Powell was born and raised in Harlem, New York City. While Thelonious Monk became his close friend, his greatest influence was Art Tatum. Along with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Powell was a leading figure in the development of bebop, and his virtuosity as a pianist led many to call him the Charlie Parker of the piano. There is a $40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

He formed his own trio in 1981 with drummer Tom Rainey and bassist Ratzo Harris. The trio matured for 14 years, wowing audiences in America and Europe and recording four albums along the way.

Joined on the drums by his equally revered brother, Albert "Tootie" Heath, and their recording band comprised of Jeb Patton and David Wong, this show will exemplify bebop, hard bop, and straight-ahead jazz of the highest caliber. Jazz fanatics, and anyone interested in learning more about the tradition, should not miss these masters. There is a $40-$45 cover.

LONDON: I KISS YOUR HEART: BASED ON DYLAN THOMAS' LETTERS TO PEARL KAZIN

Their love was documented in a collection of passionate letters sent from around the world to Pearl in America.

I Kiss Your Heart is part of the Dylan Thomas 100, and is generously supported by the Welsh Government. Call for cover/minimum information.

After a decade performing all original material during the heyday of San Francisco's live music scene, Boca do Rio has evolved into a multi-layered electro-funk party boat with a sound that is fluid and edgy, adaptable and free. Born of the mixing of waters of Brazil and the San Francisco Bay, Boca do Rio has created musica organica - music that developed through the rhythm of living and working between the Americas. Boca do Rio performs all of its own compositions and these songs have been lived by these hard-working musicians as they have forged their voices as Brazilians, as Americans, and as Brazilian-Americans and everything in between. The result is an explosion of rich melodies and harmonies, anchored by the deepest beat on the planet. Eduardo Amado (bass), a native of Cabo Verde Africa, and Scott Johnson, an East Bay native, join forces to bring a propelling and unique swing - a dinga! Jacob Aginsky graces the festivities with his electro-wizardy on keys. Larry De La Cruz (saxophone) mines the harmonic depths for musical gems on this journey evolved of undeniable beats and pleasures. DJ Trop'a (France) brings analog soul to the scratch pads. Kevin Welch leads these adventurers through waters swift and deep. Dancing is a go-go! There is a $20 cover - Dance Floor Open
