Denise Thimes headed to NYC
for gigs with Clark Terry

St. Louis singer Denise Thimes is headed to New York City to perform next Tuesday through Saturday at the well-known jazz spot the Blue Note with trumpeter and fellow St. Louis native Clark Terry and saxophonist James Moody. The Post-Dipatch's Kevin Johnson devotes a good portion of today's column to Thimes' trip; read it here.

The piece also mentions that Terry will be the special guest star this year at Thimes' annual Mother's Day show at the Sheldon Concert Hall, which will be held on Sunday, May 13. (No word as to when tickets for that event go on sale, but when they do, they'll presumably be offered, as in the past, by Metrotix, the Sheldon's usual vendor.) Finally, Thimes also is set to open for singer Tony Bennett when he performs at the Chase Park Plaza in St. Louis for an American Liver Association benefit on Saturday, June 23.
