Lorraine Castellanos Sextet: Jazz Singers II
2400 Kettner Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $20 - $25
Part two of the double concert series, featuring a musical exploration of those artists who set the standard such as Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, to those that upped the ante with scatting and extended harmonic exploration (Ella Fitgerald, Anita O'Day, Sarah Vaughan), and those that fused jazz with the spirit of the musical, cultural, and political landscape (Nina Simone, Elis Regina). Some tunes of the familiar Great American Songbook will be given a nice treatment, along with some obscure ones. Performers include Lorraine Castellanos (vocals, guitar), Ed Korhauser (piano), Robert Dove (tenor saxophone), Curtis Taylor (trumpet), Dean Hulett (upright bass), and Ryan Shaw (drums).
