This primal hipster (he was one of the cats who followed Bird around with a wire recorder) has never quit touring or recording... His credits as a singer/songwriter/piano-man are as impressive as his vocal style, ranging from the vocalese classic "Yardbird Suite" to "I'm Hip" (a collaboration with Dave Frishberg), "Blue Xmas" (the dark, cynical Christmas song he wrote for Miles) and, god help us, Multiplication Rock..." (Michael Goodwin) Both established artists on the international jazz scene, their double-duo covers new terrain with a fresh take on standards, poetry and original songs. Downbeat says, "Judy Niemack is one of the best, and purest jazz singers ever. She has a disciplined improvisational gift that makes her scat-sung lines music...and puts over a tune with passion and singular phrasing...Classy." "Jay Clayton is one of the most phenomenal vocalists in creative improvised music." (All Music Guide). They will be joined by the "exceptionally eloquent and expressive guitarist" (Jazz Times), Jeanfrançois Prins, and Jay Anderson, whose "bass frolics, romps, bounces and strides with impeccable precision" (Houston Chronicle). The Metropolitan Room 34 West 22 Street one set only @ 9:30pm write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
