A night to remember
| Posted on January 20, 2014 at 12:29 PM |

Saturday night, January 18th, I had a gig at the new Kitchen Cafe, run
by Tony Hakim, here in Dallas. He is loved by the musician community. A gentle guy
with a good heart, a voice like James Taylor, and now a restaurateur. The Kitchen is fast becoming a musicians' hang where the most established names in Dallas Jazz (which is a vibrant and very dynamic scene) come to play and hang out.The
Kitchen is what I call a "listening room" where people come to eat and
drink with friends, but with the primary interest of listening to the
music and watching the show. It's actually a bit like dinner theater. It
was the first time that I really got to do what I've want to do for a
long time: tell stories about the music, and how the songs relate to my
life. Who wrote the songs and when, and what they are related to, a
Broadway show, an old movie (like Charade with Audrey Hepburn). The
house was full. I had promoted through most of my venues, email
marketing, facebook, etc. Finally in Dallas, a listening room. Well,
it was a night to remember. A night as I had hoped. I started telling
my stories, Drinking Again, the Bette Midler version, from a mix tape
that Frank Schippani had made my dad a mixtape for his birthday one year
that had that song in it. I talked about how its lyrics were by Johnny
Mercer. "I Thought About You," a song I've always wanted to do. Also a Johnny Mercer Tune sung by Billie Holiday style. I did Greatest Love of All, which to my surprised received perhaps the greatest of the night. Carol King's Smackwater Jack, |
