For Immediate ReleaseFebruary 24, 2014 New York, NY Jack Kleinsinger’s Highlights In Jazz, New York’s longest running jazz concert series, continues it’s 42nd season on Thursday April 10, 2014 at 8:00 PM at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center at Borough Manhattan Community College, 199 Chambers Street, NY, 10007 with A Night of Cabaret Jazzfeaturing the celebrated duo of pianist/vocalist Barbara Carroll and bassist/vocalist/songwriter Jay Leonhart and the solo artistry of singer pianist/composerAndy Bey plus, as in all Highlights In Jazz concerts, a surprise special guest.A world renowned pianist and vocalist Barbara Carroll, the honored recipient of theMary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Award of the Kennedy Arts Center and the National Arts Club’s Award of Distinction, who will be making her 11th Highlights In Jazzappearance, began her rise to stardom opening for the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band at 52ndStreet’s famed Downbeat Club, after which Leonard Feather dubbed her “the first girl to play be-bop piano.”  It was later at the city’s chic Ember’s Club that Carroll was early embraced by the sophisticated New York “café society” crowd that would become an enduring audience for the pianist’s elegant stylings.  It was there that Carroll first received the encouragement of longtime admirer Tony Bennett.After a nearly 20 year hiatus from regularly performing Carroll returned to the jazz scene with a critically acclaimed album for the revitalized Blue Note label in 1977.  The following year she was booked for a two week engagement at the Bemelmans Bar of the Carlyle Hotel, where cabaret icon Bobby Short held forth across the hall at the Café Carlyle.  The performance proved to be so successful that her stay was extended for twenty-five years.  During this period Carroll began to integrate her vocalizing into shows, honing her skill such as to have the New York Times’ Stephen Holden attest to her emergence “as the most compelling exponent of the intimate parlando style since Mabel Mercer … a New York institution to be treasured.”  And writing again recently about Ms. Carroll’s weekly engagements at New York’s Birdland jazz club Stephen Holden had this to say “At 89, Ms. Carroll is as confident and buoyant a musician as she was more than 50 years ago.”Carroll will be joined by her longtime associate, bassist/vocalist/composer Jay Leonhart- with whom she first recorded on her 1970’s Blue Note comeback album.  She says of her duo partner Leonhart, who will be making his 36th Highlights In Jazz appearance, “Jay and I have been making beautiful music together for over 35 years.  He’s one of the most sympathetic musicians in the world, a complete joy to play with.  He allows me to be totally free, to move in any direction I choose to go with in the music.”

The show will also feature pianist/composer singer Andy Bey, who will be making his very first Highlights In Jazz appearance.  Bey, whose distinctive bass-baritone voice first garnered attention during his work with the group Andy and the Bey Sisters in the mid sixties, has been heard with a myriad array of jazz stars, including Horace Silver, Max Roach, Gary Bartz and Fred Hersch, but it has been his recent work, beginning with 2005’s Grammy nominated American Song album that brought his artistry to a wider audience.  Bey’s most recent solo effort, The World According To Andy Bey (High Note), which earned him his second Grammy nomination in 2013 and France’s prestigiousl’Académie Charles Cros Coups de cœur Jazz honor, brought the New York Times’ Nate Chinen to call Bey “a jazz singer of magical expressivity,” and fellow Times critic Ben Ratliff to declare, “Bey’s art is complete within itself.”

This season’s series concludes on Thursday, May 8, 2014 with Brothers in Jazzfeaturing The Heath Brothers (Jimmy Heath and Albert “Tootie” Heath with Jeb Patton and David Wong) plus Peter and Will Anderson Perform Music of the Dorsey Brothers featuring Wycliffe Gordon and a surprise special guest.

New CD:
Janice Borla Group
“Promises to Burn”

FeaturingJanice Borla-voice
Scott Robinson -tenor saxophone/flute
Art Davis-trumpet/flugelhorn
John McLean-guitars
Bob Bowman-bass
Jack Mouse-drums
(Tall Grass Records TG 8281) Street Date March 4, 2014
“Among the best, boldest and most innovative vocalists around…Working exclusively with Borla’s arrangements, the sextet exercises its fervent cohesion across a marvelously wide-ranging playlist…vocal-based jazz symbiosis rarely reaches such splendor.”   Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
“…Her voice is an instrument to be reckoned with.  She is a force of nature.”
Jack Goodstein, BlogCritics
“Superb!  The voice of Janice is a jewel, her group shows that it’s a pleasure to play with her.”   Serge Warin, Radio Grand Brive, France
“…Round and polished performances geared toward showing off Borla’s impressive scat and vocalese capabilities…Borla has chops to spare.”   C. Michael Bailey, All About Jazz
“Superb album…One of the best singers in the Chicago area… Her scat singing is quite inventive, revealing a deep knowledge of jazz harmony.”   Tom Cunniffe, Jazz History Online
“Janice makes clear with her full, rich vocal sound and her superb musicianship that jazz singing is in more than  capable hands.”   Bruce Crowther, Jazz Mostly
“While the music challenges preconceptions about this music (and vocal jazz in general), Borla’s presentation is quite accessible, and easy to appreciate by any open-minded listeners.  (Her) scatting…is irresistible.  The entire album is wonderful!  Great arrangements.”
Randy Morse, The Best of Brazil
“…Always hipster-cool, literati inventive, and friendly while dancing on the outskirts of traditional forms.”   Mark Tucker, AcousticMusic.com
“What a quandary…Which track to play from a CD that is perfect?”
Tony Soley, 10Radio, United Kingdom

There is often a certain element of debate as to what makes someone a jazz singer.  But in the case of the outstanding vocalist Janice Borla that debate will never take place.  From the opening bars of her remarkable new album Promises to Burn on Tall Grass Records, there is no doubt that this is jazz at its purest.
Eschewing the vocalist with accompaniment approach for that of a fully integrated instrumental ensemble, Janice takes on eight challenging compositions, many of which would be unexpected material for a vocalist.  To accomplish this successfully, a clear vision of structure is demanded, and Janice’s formidable arranging artistry is fully up to the task.
Composers like Lennie Tristano, Jack DeJohnette, Bob Mintzer and Bill Evans are generally not names that show up on vocalists’ albums, but they’re all represented here alongside Leonard Bernstein, Tadd Dameron and Joey Calderazzo.  Janice has also assembled an exceptional ensemble of musicians for the project, all of whom play in the conversational style that is ideal for telling the stories that are told in this extraordinary album.  The rapport of all of the musicians is exemplary.  Art Davis on trumpet and flugelhorn, bassist Bob Bowman and Janice’s husband and drummer Jack Mouse have all performed on Janice’s three previous albums.  Guitarist John McLean was on one, and Scott Robinson on tenor sax and flute is recording with Janice for the first time here. The arrangements provide a broad palette of textures and contexts for interaction – harmonized, contrapuntal and improvisational, and with plenty of room for blowing.
Janice’s beautiful, rounded voice and flawless intonation is often in scat mode here, with her wordless lyrics shaped to sound more like a horn.  And like an instrumentalist, when she sings written lyrics, she does so in a manner that states the melodic line to create the framework from which the solo will emerge.
Two beautiful ballads are an exception to this approach, and are offered in a more straightforward and traditional manner.  Bernstein’s Some Other Time – with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green – is given a most tender treatment, dreamlike and serene.  Janice’s lovely understated vocal and a delicate, genteel tenor solo by Robinson slips into a freewheeling guitar/vocal/sax improv with a rubato feel before a lyrical bass solo leads into the closing theme of this enchanting piece. Tadd Dameron’s If You Could See Me Now was composed for Sarah Vaughan and aptly demonstrates its composer’s “above all, it must be beautiful” approach.
With just guitar and bass Janice gives Carl Sigman’s poignant lyrics a most sensitive portrayal expressing the essence of the piece in spare, undiluted form.
Another classic ballad receives a most imaginative transformation.  Don Raye and Gene DePaul’s You Don’t Know What Love Is – a song performed by countless jazz vocalists and instrumentalists of all styles – receives a delectable samba-ish treatment here with scintillating interplay between voice and guitar.  Soulful tenor, luminous scatting and lyrical bass solos lead into a closing where the samba feel is embraced and then released as the piece is taken to a powerful emotional climax.
Easy swing – so confident that it almost swaggers – is the mode for Joey Calderazzo’s Midnight Voyage.  Janice gives Christine Helferich’s lyrics a sinuously simmering treatment with strut-walking bass and horns that sound like a vocal chorus.   A mellifluous Art Famer-invoking flugelhorn solo, soul-tinged guitar and a delicious scat solo add to the captivating texture.
An evocative, highly atmospheric mood permeates Jack DeJohnette’s Silver Hollow.  A paean to the sound of Jack’s longtime label ECM Records, the melody is nicely layered with euphonious flute and flugelhorn voicings and infectious call and response with Janice.  Warmly embracing flugelhorn, full-bodied flute, a radiant flute/vocal duo and stirring guitar, all contribute mightily to the evolution of this piece’s richly expressed narrative.
Bill Evans’ Funkallero opens the album on a jaunty note with a wordless, playful bass/voice unison in bouncy syncopation before Janice sings Karen Gallinger’s wry lyrics.  Bowman’s nicely suspended woodiness and Mouse’s brilliant brushwork provides a Latin-ish feel under the guitar, tenor and harmon-muted trumpet solos before a delicious scat/drums duet takes the piece into the closing voice/bass unison theme.
Two scorchers complete this delightful album.  Bob Mintzer’s RunFerYerLife is a smoker with a staccato, heavily syncopated unison theme.  Vivid guitar comping and sprightly walking bass set the framework for a rollicking scat excursion, a highly articulate trumpet solo and an exciting turn on tenor, leading into an ensemble riff-peppered dynamically-charged drum solo by Mouse – whose playing throughout the album is absolutely perfect.
The legendary Lennie Tristano’s Lennie’s Pennies is given a stunning treatment.  His own take on Pennies From Heaven is offered with rapid-fire boppish vocal/guitar unison and closes out with spectacular three-part harmony on the challenging theme.  In between, supported by a deeply-wooded bass line in a briskly complex walk, is a dancing brightly-grooved scat solo, nimble guitar and a fluidly lyrical tenor solo that would make Warne Marsh smile.
Consummate musicianship, astonishing interplay, and a sense of joyfully unfettered creativity that permeates this entire album make Promises to Burn a truly uplifting experience.

Paquito D’Rivera defies categorization. The winner of 11 GRAMMY® Awards, he is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer.

Born in Havana, Cuba, he performed at age 10 with the National Theater Orchestra, studied at the Havana Conservatory of Music and, at 17, became a featured soloist with the Cuban National Symphony. As a founding member of the Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna, he directed that group for two years, while at the same time playing both the clarinet and saxophone with the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. He eventually went on to premier several works by notable Cuban composers with the same orchestra. Additionally, he was a founding member and co-director of the innovative musical ensemble Irakere. With its explosive mixture of jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban music never before heard, Irakere toured extensively throughout America and Europe, won several GRAMMY nominations (1979, 1980) and a GRAMMY (1979). Paquito D’Rivera’s website
ROY HARGROVE’S QUARTET:

Justin Robinson – Alto Sax & flute
Sullivan Fortner – Piano
Ameen Saleem – Bass
Quincy Phillips – Drums

Celebrated throughout the world by fans, critics and many of the world’s greatest musicians, Roberta Gambarini became a fast-rising star – and a GRAMMY Nominee. – with the 2006 release of her debut album, ‘Easy to Love.’ A smashing success on all fronts, Roberta’s debut secured her spot on the international touring circuit, where she continuously graces the most prestigious venues and festivals. In 2008, she made her major label debut with ‘You Are There,’ a superb duet with the legendary pianist Hank Jones. Mr. Jones – who accompanied most of the celebrated vocalists of the 20th century such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat “King” Cole, and Billy Eckstine – declared Ms. Gambarini as the best singer to emerge in over 60 years. Roberta Gambarini on Facebook
