SUMMARY:ANDREA MARCOVICCI---a KURT WEILL VALENTINE
DESCRIPTION:Wed.\, Feb. 14.  VALENTINE’S DAY with ANDREA MARCOVICCI (a “Kurt Weill Valentine\,” with Brad Ellis at the piano\, Nate Light on bass\, and Jimmy Emerzian\, sax.) No one gives romance like Marcovicci at The Gardenia\,  and post-pandemic\, she gives it even better.  Don’t let this Valentine’s Day go by without indulging yourself in that which Andrea does best— and on this most romantic day of the year\, you won’t have a better Valentine’s Day anywhere else. \nPerhaps inspired by his wife\, Lotte Lenya\, or perhaps inspired by the words of our greatest lyricists\, (Ira Gershwin and Alan J. Lerner\, to name just two\,) Weill seems to have reserved his most indelible melodies for songs of love.  Highlights are “My Ship\,” “It Never Was You\,” and “Speak Low\,” and\, as anticipated with any Marcovicci show\, “you’ll find yourself laughing and learning:”  how Kurt Weill\, this German émigré\, was destined to become an American treasure. \n—Frequently introduced as “the Queen of Cabaret\,” Ms. Marcovicci transformed the genre\, has created over 35 nightclub acts at The Gardenia\, and holds the record—an unprecedented 25 seasons—at the legendary Oak Room at NYC’s Algonquin Hotel—

SUMMARY:CLAUDE HALL
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Feb. 24.  CLAUDE HALL presents “Nina Simone—A Single Woman.  (Side B.)”  In January\, Ms. Hall will have reprised “Impassioned Spirit\,” Ms. Hall’s compelling and informative show examining the arc of Nina Simone’s life from Simone’s “discovery” in an Atlantic City piano bar singing “I Loves You Porgy” through her participation in the civil rights movement.  Finding the trove of material she uncovered too rich for that one short evening of cabaret\, Ms. Hall builds upon it with this show\, continuing to mine nuggets from Simone’s legacy—the nuggets perhaps even more personal this time—but once again supported by Musical Director\, Jamieson Trotter. \nBorn in Brooklyn of Haitian parents\, Miss Hall moved to Paris in 1989\, but an autumn weekend in Prague in 2003 proved pivotal when a friend overheard her singing a few Gershwin tunes and asked her to record a demo of “When I Fall In Love.”  This led to a sojourn in Saint Bart’s\, where she became the resident singer at Casa Nikki and La Plage\, and to which she returned in 2019 as the featured artist at the St. Bart’s Jazz Festival.  She has been resident artist at l’Ermitage Hotel\, Hotel Angeleno’s West Penthouse Lounge\, La Valencia Hotel\, and at Bar Marmont\, and she has also returned to New York to perform at the Metropolitan Room.

SUMMARY:CAROLYN HENNESY

SUMMARY:LAURAL MEADE\, in "Ms. Tucker Will See You Now."
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, April 6.  LAURAL MEADE\, in “Ms. Tucker Will See You Now.”\nDuring nearly all of 2023\, Laural Meade continued to perfect her rollicking Sophie Tucker show\, tinkering with each iteration to ever more closely approach the asymptote of perfection.  Those in attendance in December who had previously seen the show only in its infancy were moved to remark how seemingly completely different\, how delightful\, and how terrific\, the show now inarguably is.  One longtime Gardenia patron even remarked that this show has become what is “maybe the best show I have ever seen at The Gardenia.” \nAn established member of the theater faculty at Occidental College\, playwright and musical performer Ms. Meade has sung in Southern California venues “both sacred and profane\,” and directs a choir for The Secret City.  Her vocal musicianship has turned heads at The Gardenia Open Mike\, where we were delighted to learn that she has penned this performance piece in which she exposits Sophie Tucker\, “the Last of the Red Hot Mamas\,” arguably the most popular entertainer of Tucker’s day\, in a bawdy cabaret exploration of Tucker’s extraordinary personal life\, career\, and risqué song catalog.   Because its subject “worked Blue\,” the show is constructed not for the faint of heart nor for the pearl-clutching pretenders of easy offence.  Using hilarity as pedagogue’s tool\, Ms. Mead also mobilizes impressive musical forces to allow her audience to conclude the evening “educationally enriched.”  Repeat audience members are now bringing friends—quite the testimonial as word of mouth spreads…… \n

SUMMARY:ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART
DESCRIPTION:Sun.\, April 7 at 8 p.m.  ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART\, through popular demand\, reprise “Brave and Foolish Things\,” their “witty\, intriguing\, emotional\, naughty\, clever\, sentimental\, esoteric\, arresting\, tender\,” and sold-out first outing together\, as the first in a series of monthly performances together\, echoing the heady 80’s days of the weekly “Marcovicci at Midnight.” \nFrequently introduced as “the Queen of Cabaret\,” Ms. Marcovicci transformed the genre\, has created over 35 nightclub acts at The Gardenia\, and holds the record—an unprecedented 25 seasons—at the legendary Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel—as well as the distinction of being the Oak Room’s final performer before its closing.  She combines forces with Maude Maggart\, considered by many to be Marcovicci’s heir apparent\, who claims her own cabaret beginnings at The Gardenia a half generation later.  Our favorite endorsement of Ms. Maggart comes from Jim Bruce:  “If you have not yet heard Maude Maggart sing\, I envy you the moment of discovery because there is nothing quite like the very first time you realize what a talent she is.  Then again there is also nothing quite like every single time after.” \nAnd perhaps the cake’s icing\, recalling Andrea’s classic show\, “New Words\,” Maude’s husband David Lucky\, himself a Gardenia performance-veteran and songsmith\, introduces a brand-new song\, as does Musical Director Gerald Sternbach.  More can be learned at andreamarcovicci.com

SUMMARY:KAREN CELESTE KRUZ
DESCRIPTION:Thu.\, April  11.  KAREN CELESTE KRUZ\, in her third solo Gardenia outing\, her first since “the pandemic.”  Jazz a constant in her childhood home in Connecticut\, Ms. Kruz also derived influences from the unique musical sounds and culture of her primarily Hungarian family in Bridgeport.  But her neighborhood was more diverse—and she counts Broadway\, R & B\, blues\, and Latin styles among her influences as well.  She holds degrees in English and Counseling from the University of Connecticut and the University of LaVerne\, respectively; but she also studied music\, voice\, and Latin percussion here in Los Angeles\, where previously she has sung in many local venues.  Her three-octave instrument takes on many textures—from clear and precise to smoky\, bluesy\, and even growly; Ella Fitzgerald-esque to Janis Joplin-esque; big and open—to delicate as filigree— \n

SUMMARY:ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART
DESCRIPTION:Sun.\, May 5 at 8 p.m.  ANDREA MARCOVICCI and MAUDE MAGGART  present their tribute to Cole Porter\, with special guest Jeff Harnar\, in this second in their series of monthly performances echoing the heady 80’s days of the weekly “Marcovicci at Midnight.” \nFrequently introduced as “the Queen of Cabaret\,” Ms. Marcovicci transformed the “cabaret genre\,” has created over 35 nightclub acts at The Gardenia\, and holds the record—an unprecedented 25 seasons—at the legendary Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel—as well as the distinction of being the Oak Room’s final performer before its closing.  She combines forces with Maude Maggart\, considered by many to be Marcovicci’s heir apparent\, who claims her own cabaret beginnings at The Gardenia a half generation later.  Our favorite endorsement of Ms. Maggart comes from Jim Bruce:  “If you have not yet heard Maude Maggart sing\, I envy you the moment of discovery because there is nothing quite like the very first time you realize what a talent she is.  Then again there is also nothing quite like every single time after.”  Musical Director is Gerald Sternbach.  More can be learned at andreamarcovicci.com

SUMMARY:PAMELA CLAY
DESCRIPTION:Fri.\, May 17.  PAMELA CLAY.  Possessing a “power belt\,” solid and confident pitch\, a party-girl charisma\, and a repertoire that broadens what patrons have come to expect as “Gardenia fare\,” Pamela Clay celebrates her 31st wedding anniversary by singing “something for everyone\,” accompanied by her longtime musical director David Moscoe at the piano\, “Catahoula’s Emperor” Lindsay Gillis on guitar\, Vince Tividad on upright bass\, Kendall Kay on drums\, and her artist-musician husband\, Bruce Bermudez\, as guest vocalist.    One can expect the unexpected from this chanteuse who has established herself as the Southland’s premier interpreter of chansons…and Edith Piaf in particular.  (But be forewarned:  “Non\, Je ne Regrette Rien” is NOT the anthem of a sensitive waif or a “wounded sparrow.”)   Ms. Clay has appeared at the John F. Kennedy Center\, the John Anson Ford Theatre\, the Wilshire-Ebell Theatre\, Feinstein’s 54 Below in Manhattan\, and on-screen opposite Tommy Lee Jones.  Fluent in French\, she lived in Paris and Bordeaux for many years\, and performed her self-penned one-woman show\, Toujours l’Amour!\, directed by Chase Matthews\, to sold-out crowds in several Southland venues.  More can be learned at www.PamelaClay.com.
