SUMMARY:KENSHAKA ALI
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Nov. 4.  KENSHAKA ALI\, in “A Love Supreme.”  Singer\, director\, acting coach\, and professor of theatre arts\, Mr. Ali was born and raised across the street from the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem\, where\, running errands for the backstage crews\, he was let in for free.   Although captivated by Motown\, blues\, and R & B\, he was drawn more to the lyricism of jazz\, so from the Boys Choir of Harlem he went on to study with jazz vocalist Jay Clayton at City College New York\, and after moving to California\, taught theater at Cal State Dominguez Hills\, then at Pomona College in Claremont\, (and in “A Shirt and a Skirt” shared the bill with the great Barbara Morrison.)  As an Agape Licensed Spiritual Practitioner\, he is drawn to fare reflecting a spiritual understanding of love—personal\, romantic\, communal\, and divine; and follows in the tradition of the great baritone jazz balladeers such as Johnny Hartman\, Joe Williams\, and Arthur Prysock.  For this evening\, he has gathered the support of Karen Hernandez on piano\, Dori Amarilio on guitar\, John Jackson on drums\, and Henry “Skipper” Franklin on bass. \n

SUMMARY:JACKIE GIBSON.  "Songs at the Brill Building."
DESCRIPTION:Fri.\, Nov. 17.  JACKIE GIBSON.  “Songs at the Brill Building.”  1619 Broadway on 49th Street in New York was to the popular music of the late ‘50’s and ‘60’s as Tin Pan Alley was to the popular music earlier in the 20th Century\, with the Brill Building’s girl groups and teen idols supplying popular music’s grist post-50’s-Elvis and pre-Beatles.  By 1962\, the Brill Building contained 165 music businesses\, including publishers\, printers\, songwriters\, demo-cutting studios\, and promoters…all in one building.  Lieber and Stoller\, Neil Sedaka\, Burt Bacharach\, Hal David\, Phil Spector\, and Carole King are among the many artists who have come to be associated with the Brill Building Sound\, brought back to our collective awareness in this show.    Enhancing the show even further are invited guests Larry Davis\, John Ciccolini\, and Judy Barrat; and Ms. Gibson has even assembled her own girl group\, “The AquaNets\,” comprised of Lorraina Marro\, Tiffany Bailey\, and Kimberly Scott-Moseley.  Steve Rawlins\, (musical director and originator of the show concept\,) supports on piano; with Craig Copeland on guitar; Gordon Peeke on drums; and John Hatton\, AKA Spazz (who used to play for Ms. Gibson back in the 80’s in her original rock band\,) on bass. \nMs. Gibson was part of L.A.’s Folk Movement as a teenager\, appearing alongside the likes of Joni Mitchell at venues such as The Troubadour and Ciro’s.  Over the years she has performed all over greater Los Angeles\, including at The Gardenia\, and\, proud of her Latina heritage\, she has also been a vocalist on KMEX’s Nosotros.  She is the creator of Jazz del Corazon\, marshalling her talent and those of others to provide financial support for those in the local music community in extreme need.  She is currently collaborating with singer/songwriter Wayne Moore on an upcoming children’s book\, and is writing a book about her mother\, Dr. Helia Israel Benavides Olivera\, M.D.  She is a member of the Children’s Hospital Monrovia Guild\, and a member of the non-profit group Theatre Americana\, which performs for various charities around the Southland. Jazz reviewer Scott Yanow has said of Ms. Gibson\, “….Gibson…has a voice that is both passionate and soothing\, full of honest emotions…”  and celebrated vocal coach Terri Baker has enthused\, “…So great to hear a singer who knows what she’s singing about…and…you feel it 100%.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:LAURAL MEADE\, in "Ms. TUCKER WILL SEE YOU NOW"
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Nov. 18.  LAURAL MEADE\, in “Ms. Tucker Will See You Now.”  A longtime 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.   Ms. Meade continues to perfect this brilliantly written and performed show\, which\, because its subject “worked Blue\,” 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.”  For those who were awed by\, and for those unlucky enough to have missed\, Ms. Meade’s previous shows\, this booking offers the opportunity to catch this evolving reprise.  Repeat audience members are now bringing friends—quite the testimonial to a “superlative entertainment product.”
