Nightlife in NYC: Cyrille Aimee at Birdland Club in November 2019

Returning to Birdland Jazz Club after a memorable gig there in February of 2019, Cyrille Aimee is bringing her new collection of songs from Sondheim songbook for a pre-holiday run. Diving deep into the oeuvre of the beloved American composer and songwriter, Aimee aims higher than just presenting a beautiful rendition of the familiar music and lyrics. It is a touchingly personal story of the singer’s life and emotions. Aimee’s crisp and delicate voice, playful style, a dizzying mix of jazz, soul and ethnic vibe makes it that more memorable.

In her bio, she writes that for her “improvisation is not just a technique. It’s a way of life, one that has not only allowed her to share her engaging voice and sparkling creativity with the world, but has led her on an unexpected journey.”

By opening herself to the whim of the moment, Aimée has ventured from singing on street corners in Europe to dazzling audiences at some of the world’s most prestigious jazz festivals; from sneaking out to sing in gypsy encampments in her native France to acting on Broadway; from braving the notoriously tough audiences at New York’s Apollo Theatre to being hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “one of the most promising jazz singers of her generation” and called a “rising star in the galaxy of jazz singers” by the New York Times.

Treat yourself with a night of great songs by Cyrille Aimee on November 19 – 23, 2019 at Birdland, the the hottest club in town. BUY TICKETS

Nightlife in NYC: Paris!The Show at The Town Hall

A vibrant tribute to the greatest French songs of the post-war years, Paris!The Show brings the romance of Paris to New York City with the songs of Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel among others; only one show in NYC on October 17, 2019

This spectacular evening brings the romance, charm, and essence of Paris to New York, Chicago, San Francisco and more. A thrilling cast and exceptional scenic/projection design transport us from Montmartre to the stages of the great Parisian cabarets of post-war France, featuring 30 of the greatest songs of Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Jacques Brel, Maurice Chevalier, Josephine Baker, Lucienne Boyer, Charles Trenet, Yves Montand, and more.

Produced by Gil Marsalla & Directo Productions, Paris!The Show is following in the steps of a sold-out 2017 Carnegie Hall performance by the same company, Piaf! Le Spectacle which had returned to NYC in 2018. The cast features the sensational Anne Carrere, who “…can miraculously capture Piaf’s soul and timbre…” as Kevin O’Donnell in the New York Times (1/5/17) wrote about Piaf!The Show.

STORY: Young Françoise, dreaming of becoming a famous Paris artiste, arrives in Montmartre, during the golden age of French cabaret. On her journey, she crosses paths with Edith Piaf, becoming her friend, confidant, and soul mate. Later, she falls for the young Charles Aznavour, a singer living in Pigalle and a romance later blossoms between them, in a city where love conquers all!               BUY TICKETS

Virtuoso guitarist Stephane Wrembel and his band, well known among Jazz Manouche aficionados for their devotion to the oeuvre of the legendary Django Reinhardt, team up with a very special guest Bria Skonberg who brings her trumpet and lots of energy to the performances at Joe’s Pub.

Django’s celebrated melodies immediately bring to mind fun times at a smoky French café full of happy musicians and cheerful crowds. Wrembel and his band are notorious in recreating the atmosphere. Add to that the excitement and glee so typical of Skonberg’s style, and the performances will surely be the music fete to remember.

Wrembel and his guests are very familiar to New York audiences for the Django-a-Gogo annual guitar festival among other engagements in town. Bria Skonberg perform regularly in New York City most recently on April 18-29, 2019 at the Gotham Jazz Festival NYC.

Reserve ahead for the performances at Joe’s Pub on June 14 – 15, 2019 at 7 pm
