NYC: KIM SMITH IN "MISFIT" AT THE BEECHMAN 3 WEDNESDAYS IN MARCH


NYC: KIM SMITH IN "MISFIT" AT THE BEECHMAN IN MARCH
A MARCH IS CABARET MONTH EVENT


Award-winning Australian performer Kim Smith will perform for 3 Wednesdays in March at THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909), March 2nd, 9th & 16th. The show is directed by Christian Coulson, with piano accompaniment by Jerry Steichen. Fitting in isn't easy in this saccharine world of unwavering morals and processed celebrity -- but why try? Kim will take you by the hand and lead you through ruins of disfigured pop and glimmering period treasures, as he mischievously proves that misfits have more fun. Singing in German, French and English, Mr. Smith reinterprets works by Weimar-era composers, and modern-day artists alike, including: Friedrich Hollaender, Bjork, the Supremes, Kylie Minogue, Hanns Eisler, and myriad glittering others in conjuring the decadence and decay of 1920's Berlin. There is a $15 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

NYC: KURT ELLING QUARTET WITH JOHN MCLEAN AT BIRDLAND THROUGH SATURDAY

NYC: KURT ELLING QUARTET WITH JOHN MCLEAN

Celebrating his most recent release, "The Gate" (Concord - 2/8/11), Kurt Elling returns to BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) with his quartet and special guest John McLean Tuesday through Saturday, March 1st through 5th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. A rarity among jazz vocalists, the Grammy winner Mr. Elling was planning an academic career, but discovered jazz and took to it naturally. Deeply influenced by singer and poet, Mark Murphy, Elling began to develop his idiosyncratic scat style in the smaller clubs of Chicago. As the natural heir to jazz pioneers Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure, and Jon Hendricks, Elling is the contemporary voice in vocalese. Whether it be Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett, or Dexter Gordon, Elling's vocalized interpretation is flawless, and upon Blue Note's reception of Elling's demo, "Close Your Eyes" was released in 1995. He began to get attention from jazz press, not only for his talent and original style, but also his choice in sidemen, which include Laurence Hobgood and Paul Wertico for a time. There is a $30/$40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
