SUMMARY:JUDY BARRAT
DESCRIPTION:Sat.\, Nov. 8.  JUDY BARRAT presents “Ooh\, ooh\, ooh\,  have I got stories for you…and some poems\, too!”   Nearly forty years ago\, Andrea Marcovicci surprised and delighted Gardenia audiences by introducing readings from poets Edna St. Vincent Millay and Dorothy Parker into a musical cabaret act—forcing Tom Rolla to eat virtual crow (and maybe even humble pie) after predicting emphatically that “that’ll never work!\,” then having to acknowledge how affecting the spoken word can be. \nJudy Barrat is a poet and writer of creative fiction (and non-fiction\,) who has performed and been featured at many spoken word venues around Los Angeles\, including The Cobalt Café\, Beyond Baroque\, Story\, Salon\, Expressions\, and others.  Her stories and poems have been published in magazines\, anthologies\, and in on-line journals…but she likes nothing more than alloying her creations with instrumental and vocal accompaniment\, (which she has done spectacularly at The Gardenia over the years\,) and she never fails to impress Gardenia audiences with her talents.  Bob Remstein supplies musical accompaniment\, and Jody Jaress guests.  Ms Barrat’s work\, The Oak Tree Diaries and Other Stories\, is available at Amazon.com.

SUMMARY:JEFFREY GIMBLE and LIZ COLE
DESCRIPTION:Fri.\, Nov. 21.  JEFFREY GIMBLE and LIZ COLE. Perhaps the only professional actor who\, upon moving from New York to L.A\, quit acting to instead enter the world of jazz vocals\, Mr. Gimble won that gamble by first workshopping songs at The Gardenia’s Open Mike\, then winning critical acclaim for his performances all around the Southland and beyond\, and for his recording Beyond Up High\, featuring pianist Tamir Hendelman.  Les Traub\, writing for Cabaret Scenes Magazine\, praised his “imaginative phrasing\, swinging rhythms\, scat\, and vocalese\,” and Jack Goodstein\, writing for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer\, proclaimed   “Jeffrey Gimble deserves to be noticed.”  “I love Jeffrey Gimble—he’s smart\, sassy\, and sensitive…–-Billy Stritch.  This show also introduces Liz Cole\, vocalist partner\, to The Gardenia; and also features Josh Nelson on piano\, Lyman Medeiros on bass\, and Aaron Serfary on drums. \n
