| Mary LaRose celebrates her 20 year recording career at “Why Not Jazz” Nov 16 On Sunday Nov 16 Mary will sing songs from all of her 5 recordings in two sets starting at 7:00pm at the "Why Not Jazz?" club, located at 14 Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. She will be joined in this special event by Jeff Lederer (reeds, musical director), Mark Feldman (violin), Joe Fieldler (trombone), Rene Hart (bass) and Matt Wilson (drums). Mary is a true innovator in the field of jazz vocalese, creating personal lyrics to compositions and improvisations in the post-bop jazz world, including pieces by Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy and Anthony Braxton. Mary's work over the last two decades has been documented on recordings for the GM, CIMP and Little I Music labels. This event marks a special rare performance of selections from her entire discography. "arguably the finest vocal and lyrical re-interpreter of postbop and avant-garde classics around" Jazz Times 2014 write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
