| Tracy Hamlin's Winter Tour Jazz & Neo-Soul songstress, Tracy Hamlin, began her winter 2007 tour starting in London, England. Hamlin, former lead vocalist from Pieces of a Dream, along with back-up band G-Funk, rocked The Pizza Express Jazz Café in London's Soho district for seven shows culminating with a New Year's Eve concert which was opened by Acoustic Alchemy. This was G-Funk featuring Tracy Hamlin's first gig at The Pizza and according to club management, Hamlin and G-Funk will be returning annually for this New Years Eve bash. Tracy's next stop is a top 10 American Jazz club, Blues Alley. Hamlin and her band will be at Blues Alley on Monday February 5th for two shows. Founded in 1965, Blues Alley is the nation's oldest continuing jazz supper club, having showcased internationally renowned concert hall artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Grover Washington Jr., Ramsey Lewis, Charlie Byrd, Maynard Ferguson and Eva Cassidy in a small intimate setting. Located in the heart of historic Georgetown in an 18th century red brick carriage house, Blues Alley offers its patrons a unique ambiance, reminiscent of the jazz clubs of the 1920's and 30's. The final stop on Hamlin's winter 2007 tour is Sweet Lorraine's Jazz Club in New Orleans Louisiana. Tracy will be at Sweet Lorraine's Mardi Gras weekend Saturday February 17th for two shows. Sweet Lorraine's has been featured in both ESSENCE and Travel & Leisure Magazine.
