Erin Bode
This isn't a hugely busy week in St. Louis jazz, but there are a couple of noteworthy events beyond the usual weekly gigs:
Vocalist Erin Bode seems to be staying quite busy these days, headlining this Friday and Saturday night at Jazz at the Bistro. The blurb at the JATB site says she also has a tour of Italy in the works, so this week might be a good time to catch her before she's off to Europe.
Ever hear a jazz concert on a weekday morning? Now's your chance, because on Tuesday, the Sheldon is presenting the traditional New Orleans-style hot jazz of Jean Kittrell's Jazz Incredibles in a "Coffee Concert," with free java and pastries served to ticket buyers beginning at 9 a.m., with the performance following at 10 a.m.
Since I mentioned Commander Cody and boogie-woogie piano last week, it only seems fair to note that the Sheldon will also be playing host to George Winston this Saturday night. Despite his reputation as a purveyor of New Age easy listening music, Winston has been influenced by a number of blues and boogie players, and has been known to bust out some boogie or stride piano during his encores.
The Sheldon also has just announced their jazz concert series (and their various other series) for 2005-2006. I'll be blogging about it later today or tomorrow, but if you'd like to take a peek at the lineup right now, go here.
