MARK WINKLER

Sun., Nov. 16.  (Door opens at 6 p.m., Show at 8 p.m.)  MARK WINKLER.  Mr. Winkler has had over 250 of his songs recorded and/or sung by such artists as Liza Minnelli and Bob Dorough, and has written lyrics for such jazz luminaries as Wayne Shorter and David Benoit.  His CD, Late Bloomin’ Jazzman, has “climbed to the top of the charts” and garnered stellar reviews from JazzTimes.  This outing represents his last show of the year, with Steve Sieck guesting.    —“If Mark Murphy is the reigning king of vocal hipsterism, then Mark Winkler ranks directly behind Kurt Elling among heirs apparent.”—Chris Loudon—Jazz Times.  “Mark Winkler is a musical marvel and a true original!  At last, a writer who sings and a singer who swings!”  – Rex Reed
