| Yoshi’s Presents Lua Hadar And Her Cosmopolitan Jazz Ensemble Fresh from a success in Paris, Lua Hadar brings her cosmopolitan jazz ensemble Twist back to Yoshi's Oakland to celebrate the Official Release of their DVD, "Like A Bridge." A 70-minute Live Studio Concert directed by Emmy award-winner Lawrence Jordan, "Like a Bridge" was shot at the legendary Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, and was nominated in the Long Form Video Category by the Independent Music Awards. On September 30, clips from the DVD will be shown on Yoshi's new screen as the band rolls out some fresh new tunes live on stage. Music Director Jason Martineau on piano, Dan Feiszli on bass, Celso Alberti on drums, Ian Dogole on Global Percussion, Larry De La Cruz on reeds, and Hadar on vocals in seven languages. "Why do I sing such an eclectic song list?" Hadar asks."I want the audience to get the feeling that humanity shares common struggles and joys, that we are all united. As a group, these songs in languages of five continents are bridges from us to our audience. We hope that we can each be to one another 'like a bridge.'" Lua Hadar with Twist, Official DVD Release of Like A Bridge, Monday, Sept. 30 at 8pm. Yoshi's Jazz Club and Japanese Restaurant, 510 Embarcadero West, Jack London Square, Oakland CA 94607. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
