Frankly Sinatra & Friends Show in Tampa sells out.

Don Juceam's annual Frankly Sinatra & Friends Show, held Saturday in Tampa, was a great success, in both attendance and performance.

The night of dining and dancing was held at the premiere ballroom and event facility in Tampa - TPepin's Hospitality Centre. Sinatra and Rat Pack favorites were performed by Don Juceam and the 19-piece Don Juceam Orchestra.

"It was a sellout and much beyond my expectations. We got a very nice TV feature on Bay News 9 in the a.m. "What's happening this weekend"  and the phone just starting ringing which eventually translated into those sales that pushed us way over the top. It was like the scene in "Good Fellas" where the m'aitre d is rolling in more tables just as the show is starting - very funny. Venue was wonderful, food great, band was cookin' . Already making plans for next year !   Thanks again for the assist."  Don Juceam

Plans are already underway for the 2012 event. More info at http://www.donjuceam.com/

North Central Florida Blues Society announces The 2011 Blues Challenge, 9/18/2011

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs #JazzClubs #BluesClubs

The North Central Florida Blues Society is pleased to announce The 2011 Blues Challenge.

The NCFBS Blues Challenge will be held on Sunday, September 18th at 7:00 PM (time subject to change, due to amount of participants) At the Dirty Bar (formerly Emerald’s Lounge), located at 2441 NW 43rd St, Gainesville, FL 32606

Winners of the competition will represent NCFBS at the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN, which will be held January 31 - February 4, 2012.

There are 3 classes of competition: band, solo/duo and CD. Please make plans to attend the competition and cheer on your favorite musicians! There will be a $5 cover, with all of the proceeds going to the winning competitors.

The rules can be found below. If anyone requires clarification of any of these rules, please contact Rob Richardson at myname_isrob@yahoo.com.
　
The rules for the band and solo/duo competition are:
1. Groups must be from Alachua, Marion, Levy, Putnam, Gilchrist, Columbia, Union or Clay counties. The majority (>50%) of members in the group must reside in one of these counties. NCFBS wants to highlight blues musicians from the region we serve. That is why we have this rule.
2. At least one PERFORMING member of the group must be a full (non-Student, non-Honorary) NCFBS member. Managers/agents/representatives do NOT count toward the membership requirement. NCFBS feels that if you want to represent us at IBC Memphis you should be supportive of our overall goals and objectives enough to have a minimum of one active member from the performing group.
3. The entry fee for a band is $25, solo/duo $20. All fees and door receipts will be distributed to the winners to defray travel costs to Memphis using a pro-rated system based on the number of performing individuals in both categories.
4. Bands will play a 25-minute set, with 15-minute setup. Points will be deducted for going over time per the IBC official rules (see item 5).
5. A limited backline and drum set will be provided. Personal amps are not allowed. The NCFBS follows the rules for the International Blues Challenge at
www.blues.org. In particular, see "Staging and Equipment" in the Official Rules page. NCFBS will provide PA and microphones.
6. NCFBS requires the winner to compete in Memphis, thus the expectation is that if you compete and win, you will attend. NCFBS will only provide funding from the entry fees and door receipts, no other funding from NCFBS will be provided. Thus it is incumbent upon the winner that they are capable financially of attending the IBC in Memphis. Why do we have this requirement? Entries into the IBC in Memphis are becoming more limited due to the popularity of the event. The Blues Foundation (the sponsoring organization of the IBC) has indicated that if blues societies fail to send a representative, they are in danger of losing their opportunity to send entrants in future years. Thus if you win and do NOT attend you endanger future entries for NCFBS!!!
7. A competitor may compete in no more than two entries. He/she may compete in both the band competition and the solo/duo competition, or may compete in a maximum of two different bands in the band competition.
8. The IBC Memphis does not allow someone to compete in their solo/duo competition and the band competition in the same year. Because of this, in the case that a competitor wins both the solo/duo and is a member of the winning band in our 2011 Blues Challenge, they will go to Memphis as a member of the winning band, but the second place competitor in the solo/duo competition will be the official Gainesville representative in the IBC Memphis.
9. Bands considering competing should contact Rob Richardson (myname_isrob@yahoo.com, 352-871-0676). A firm schedule will be available on September 16th.
10. There will be several judges drawn from the regional music community. They will be using the same scoring criteria that will be used in Memphis, which is available at http://www.blues.org/ibc/#ref=ibc_scoring

The rules for the CD contest are:
1.The CD must be self-produced between November 1, 2010 - October 31, 2011.
2.There is a $10 entry fee for CDs.
3.Five copies of the CD must be provided to NCFBS no later than September 4th.
4.Groups must be from Alachua, Marion, Levy, Putnam, Gilchrist, Columbia, Union or Clay counties. The majority (>50%) of members in the group must reside in one of these counties. NCFBS wants to highlight blues musicians from the region we serve. That is why we have this rule.
5.At least one PERFORMING member of the group must be a full (non- Student, non-Honorary) NCFBS member. Managers/agents/representatives do NOT count toward the membership requirement. NCFBS feels that if you want to represent us at IBC Memphis you should be supportive of our overall goals and objectives enough to have a minimum of one active member from the performing group.
6.The CD judges will be the same as the band/solo/duo judges.
Judges will evaluate:
(1) Blues Content
(2) Musical Performance
(2) Audio Quality of the Presentation
(3) Cover Art and Design
(4) Credits and Liner Information.
Anyone considering competing in the CD contest competing should contact Rob Richardson,
myname_isrob(at)yahoo.com, 352-871-0676.

"No Nukes Swing" Release Party to be held in Fort Lauderdale August 7, 2011

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs #JazzClubs #BluesClubs

"No Nukes Swing" Release Party - Sunday, August 7, 2011 at Radioactive Records
>From Hiroshima to Fukushima

Radioactive Records is living up to its name, and hosting the Release Party for "No Nukes Swing" on Sunday, August 7, 2011. One might call it an Atomic Release Party! "No Nukes Swing" is Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale's folk-rock anthem calling for an end to the use of nuclear power and weapons around the world, The "No Nukes Swing" Release Party is scheduled in conjunction with the 66th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Performers at the Release Party will include musicians Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale, Teri Catlin, Ramon Justicia, Felicia Rose, Jim Ryan, Jon Singer, and Special Guests. Poetry will be performed by Lenny DellaRocca, Laura Sue and more. Musical offerings will be diverse, including rock, jazz, world, new age, classical and blues genres, and originals by the artists.

This is a free event, open to all ages, and is a benefit for NIRS (Nuclear Information and Resource Service - http://www.nirs.org/) - one of the many environmental groups Laura Sue supports. All donations collected at the Release Party will go to NIRS to further their important work; information about NIRS and other environmental groups will be available at the Release Party.

Laura Sue, a flautist, vocalist, and composer widely known as The Silver Nightingale, explains her motivation to release this previously-unreleased song now: "What wacky times we're living in! As a result of the Fukushima disaster, we've got radioactive beef on the market in Japan, and radioactive organic vegetables in California; meanwhile goats' milk in Connecticut is radioactive from Indian Point Nuclear Plant. It's hard to believe that utility companies are still saying that nuclear power is safe and clean! But with huge profits to be made, what have they got to lose by lying? What we ALL have to lose is our health, and possibly the future of life on earth. With so much at stake, it's the perfect time for 'No Nukes Swing'!"

"No Nukes Swing" is a lighthearted sing-along, which explores the issues of nuclear plants, proliferation and bombs, with the catchy refrain: "No Nukes in my coffee, No Nukes in my tea, No Nukes in my backyard, That's just a little too close for me!"

Laura Sue composed "No Nukes Swing" in 1978, and the song has been performed countless times by Laura Sue and many other musicians, and even a choir, around the country at nuclear plants, demonstrations, concerts and festivals. "No Nukes Swing" is part of the "Solar Power Suite", which also includes Laura Sue's original "Salute to the Sun", from her CD "Sarabande - Solo Flute Meditations".

Laura Sue started performing "No Nukes Swing" more actively again in 2006, when she learned that FPL, Progress Energy and other utilities were actively trying to build new nuclear plants in Florida and around the country, after several decades of no new nuclear construction, following the Three Mile Island nuclear accident.

At the same time, Laura Sue created the Nuclear Free Zone on her website: http://www.SilverNightingale.com/nuclearfree.html - a large and evolving collection of information and links to organizations working on nuclear and other environmental issues. She has also been compiling a comprehensive directory of the many nuclear references in animated classic The Simpsons: http://www.SilverNightingale.com/simpsons.html

Laura Sue has been following the nuclear situation at Fukushima closely since the earthquake and tsunami, greatly concerned about the devastating consequences of ongoing massive radiation releases on the Japanese people and the world. She's encouraged to see that Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Japan are now rapidly moving towards a nuclear-free future. But noting that even the nuclear disaster at Fukushima has not discouraged many countries and companies from continuing to pursue nuclear power, Laura Sue decided it was time to make "No Nukes Swing" available worldwide.

Beginning on August 6, 2011, "No Nukes Swing" can be downloaded at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/LauraSuetheSilverNightingale, and will be available shortly after that on iTunes and other outlets. The date August 6 was chosen to coincide with the 66th Anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Laura Sue's most recent recording, a flute and chime rendition of the traditional Japanese folk song "Sakura" was released on April 26, 2011, in conjunction with the 25 Anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown. Laura Sue recorded "Sakura" in support of the Japanese people, and will be performing it at the Release Party, in tribute to the victims of Hiroshima and Fukushima, past, present and future.

"No Nukes Swing" was recorded in Boston in 1981 with an all-star, all-women's band including Jean Fineberg (Laura Nyro - Season of Lights, David Bowie - Golden Years, Sister Sledge - "We are Family") on sax, Betsy Rose on piano and vocals, Barbara Dunn Shaw on guitar and vocals, Abby Shearer on guitar, Jane Rhodes on bass, Sharon McGuire on drums, and Laura Sue on vocals, flute, percussion and production. The recording was engineered by multi-instrumentalist Roma Baran (an Academy Award nominee who has produced numerous Laurie Anderson albums, as well as playing with Rosalie Sorrels and Kate McGarrigle among others) and Karen Kane.

Another one of Laura Sue's originals recorded at this session, "Against the Law", a gay rights rock song, was recently released internationally on the prestigious "Songs of War and Politics - Volume 1" compilation CD by Folk Alliance International. Other artists on the CD include the late Hazel Dickens, Eliza Gilkyson and Tom Neilson. "Songs of War and Politics" can be downloaded at http://flink.livedownloads.com/show.asp?show=5958, as well as iTunes.

Laura Sue, the Silver Nightingale performs actively around South Florida, playing solo, duo and ensemble music in a wide variety of settings, from concerts and festivals to hospice and hospital rooms. She recently received the 2011 President's Volunteer Service Award - Silver Level for her hundreds of hours of hospice music played. Her recordings are widely used by teachers, nurses, ministers, massage therapists and others to enhance their professional and personal lives. Laura Sue serves actively with community groups involved in interfaith, cultural, environmental and veterans initiatives, and is a member of the Creative Economy Committee for Broward County's 2020 Cultural Plan. She is also on the selective artists roster booked to perform in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport's new Terminal Tunes program.

Radioactive Records is an active supporter of Laura Sue's community service work, and has donated more CDs to her hospice music and other projects over the years than all other donors combined.

"Artists are mostly independent contractors with little training in business, and no local organization to represent them. Most don't make enough money to hire managers. They can find themselves out of a job on the very night they show up for work. There's no requirement for two-week's notice, severance pay, or even minimum wage. Less than 1% of recording artists recover the costs of their CDs, due to "middleman" costs and illegal reproductions of their work!

Musicians are often the first to go as restaurant profits decline. Both venues and musicians often employ electronic instrumentation instead of real musicians to save money."

Gold Coast Jazz Celebrates 20 Years of Great Jazz in Ft. Lauderdale Florida

Gold Coast Jazz Society Announces 20th Anniversary Season of Jazz

 Fort Lauderdale, FL – It all began when local jazz enthusiast and philanthropist, Fred Ruffner and a group of local jazz fans decided that Fort Lauderdale needed more jazz.   There were a few jazz clubs around South Florida, but no one presented a consistent jazz series.  From that initial meeting, the Gold Coast Jazz Society was born.  Incorporated in 1992, Gold Coast Jazz began presenting a series of jazz concerts in the main dining room of the Riverside Hotel.  From those humble beginnings, the organization grew, added educational and outreach activities as well as an annual fund raiser.  The jazz concert series moved to the Amaturo Theater of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts where it is presented today.  The presentation of a jazz series featuring renowned jazz artists has always been a part of the mission of the organization and that tradition continues for the 20th Anniversary Jazz Season.       

The 2011-2012 jazz series includes seven jazz concerts featuring international jazz stars as well as outstanding local jazz talent.  All concerts begin at 7:45pm and occur at the intimate Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts,

201 SW 5th Avenue

in Fort Lauderdale.  A lively and entertaining jazz talk takes place at 7:00pm prior to each jazz show, hosted by local jazz personality Stu Grant.  Full subscriptions and Jazz Sampler subscriptions are now available by calling the Gold Coast Jazz Society at 954-524-0805.   Single tickets will be available after August 15 at the Broward Center Box Office at 954-462-0222 or online at www.browardcenter.org.

The opening concert of the series will occur on November 11 featuring the Shelly Berg Trio and Houston Person with A Natural Groove…88 Keys and a Sax.  Dizzy Gillespie said that sax man Houston Person, is “one of the best! He’s got bull chops.”  Sporting a soulful sound in the tradition of Gene Ammons, Person often worked with the legendary singer Etta Jones.  Shelly Berg, jazz pianist and Dean of the UM Frost School of Music is considered to be one of today’s top jazz pianists and has several critically acclaimed recordings to his credit.

On December 14, vocal jazz enthusiasts will enjoy the stylings of the vocal jazz quartet, Mad Romance as they perform Singing the Great American Songbook. This hip vocal group performs an eclectic assortment of songs from the Great American Songbook in a surprising variety of styles that incorporate classic jazz, mambo, soul, a cappella, and madcap swing.  In the tradition of groups such as the Modernaires, Manhattan Transfer and New York Voices,   Mad Romance features Miami-based jazz vocalists Greg Diaz, Rick Harris, Lisanne Lyons and Wendy Pedersen.  Jim Gaisor, pianist, Jamie Ousley, bassist and Carlomagno Araya on drums round out the group for an evening of great vocal and instrumental jazz.  

Duke Ellington, one of the most famous jazz musicians in history, will be remembered on January 11 when Gold Coast Jazz presents the Duke Ellington Legacy Band in The Music of Duke Ellington.  The Duke Ellington Legacy Band sounds “as classic as the day Duke Ellington gave his music birth, while still sounding like a contemporary jazz band...." says Susan Frances of Jazzreview.com.  Initiated in 2003 by Ellington's grandchildren Edward Kennedy II, and his sister, Gaye Ellington, the Duke Ellington Legacy is dedicated to keeping Ellington's music alive and growing in the 21st century. 



With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, Gold Coast Jazz tips their hat to jazz lovers on February 8 by presenting jazz vocalist Sophie Milman in Taking Love Easy.  Milman is a hot rising star on today’s jazz scene and this will be her Fort Lauderdale debut.  The Canadian singer is an “exceptional young talent… she is one of a kind,” says the LA Times and she is blessed with a  “warm, tasty sound, outstanding playing and inventive arrangements.”  New York Magazine calls her the "Norah Jones of the actual jazz world.”



The University of Miami’s Frost Concert Jazz Band is a rockin’ jazz machine and they will be the featured artists on March 7 in Swinging with the Big Bands.  ASCAP award-winning, singer, producer, songwriter Kathy Kosins, joins the band for this evening of great swinging big band music. Led by Dante Luciani, the UM Concert Jazz Band has continually won numerous Downbeat Magazine awards in the prestigious Large Jazz Ensemble category at the annual Student Music Awards.  They will knock your socks off as they perform some of the best of the big band music.  

On April 13 Gold Coast Jazz presents the Harry Allen Quartet and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli  as they perform Harry Allen Quartet and Bucky Pizzarelli Play the Great American Songbook.  Sax man Harry Allen has over thirty recordings to his name, has performed at jazz festivals and clubs worldwide and with other renowned artists such as Rosemary Clooney, Ray Brown, Hank Jones, Kenny Burrell, John Pizzarelli, Terry Gibbs, Warren Vache.  He has recorded with Tony Bennett, Johnny Mandel, Ray Brown, Tommy Flanagan, James Taylor, and Sheryl Crow among others.  Legendary jazz guitarist, Bucky Pizzarelli, joins Harry as his special guest for an outstanding night of music from the Great American Songbook.



The vibraphone is one of the most versatile of all the mallet percussion instruments and is used widely in Jazz and Popular music.  The legendary jazz musician, Lionel Hampton, brought the vibraphone to greater prominence in the jazz world.   On May 9, vibraphonist, Christian Tamburr celebrates Hampton and other outstanding vibes players in a concert, Celebrating Hampton.   Tamburr is a multi-faceted instrumentalist, accomplished on the vibraphone, piano, trapset, world and orchestral percussion instruments.

Blue Tuesdays at Boston's on the Beach in Delray Beach - Taking a pause for the cause..

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs #JazzClubs #BluesClubs

This just in from Famous Frank:

"Due to upcoming renovations at Bostons on the Beach beginning in early August, Blue Tuesday dates after 8/2 will be cancelled until the roughly the first week of November. 7/19 is the Jeff Prine group, 7/26 is the Nucklebusters with Otis Cadillac, and 8/2 (unless renovations have begun) is David Shelley and Bluestone. Thanks for supporting Blue Tuesday at Bostons on the Beach."

Could this be because the roof was finally, really, unhinged at the Red White & Blues Fest?

South Florida Blues singer Clifford Hawkins dies at 81

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs #JazzClubs #BluesClubs

"In 2000, the band beat out 54 groups in Florida to represent Fort Lauderdale at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. During this time, Hawkins also sang Wednesday nights with the house band at the Poorhouse in Fort Lauderdale."

Florida Cultural Alliance Starts Campaign for Congress Maintaining 2012 NEA Funding

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs #JazzClubs #BluesClubs

Florida Cultural Alliance

U.S. House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee
Recommends Another Deep Cut -- $20 million -- to the 
National Endowment for the Arts

Your quick-and-easy action is requested NOW -- please go here to register your concern with Florida's U.S. Senators and your U.S. Representative.

Please share this alert with others.  We must demonstrate in large numbers to Florida's members of Congress that yet another deep cut of $20 million to the NEA will hurt Florida's economic recovery.  Another disproportionate cut to the NEA will result in more jobs lost; cuts or elimination of arts, arts education, and cultural programs throughout our state and other states; and less access to such programs for both residents and tourists.  Our creative industry is part of the solution, but our federal-government investment must be maintained to help leverage the required-NEA matching funds.  On average, each NEA dollar generates another $7 in matching funds from other private, state, and local sources.  

Status:  Today, the U.S. House Interior Appropriations Subcommittee approved a $20-million cut in funding to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for FY 2012. If this recommendation makes it through the budget process, it would be the deepest cut the NEA has received in 16 years.
This is just the start of the congressional budget process to develop a federal budget for FY 2012.  Congressional members must hear from you, me, and thousands of others NOW who understand that this NEA funding is already a modest investment of federal funds that helps preserve and create jobs and rebuild our economy throughout all the states.
Thank you for taking action on this alert -- your voice matters.

Many thanks to Americans for the Arts for making this alert accessible and easy for all of us to take action.

Hi Friends,

Good news though; starting Sunday July 24th we'll begin THE SUNDAY JAZZ BRUNCH, 9 AM - 11 AM at  880AM, THE BIZ IN MIAMI which also streams at  WWW.880THEBIZ.COM. They have a strong signal that covers South Miami to Boca Raton.

Jazz Impressions is back w/ great jazz updates on who's in town, what's hot and the best of the genre!

Byron Dobson: Supporting live music is more than lip service

Lamenting the loss of B Sharp's in Frenchtown

Written by

Byron Dobson at FloridaToday.com

"The news this week that B Sharp's Jazz Club had ended its run and was closing its doors caught me off guard. Through the pages of Limelight, I usually kept an eye out for who was playing at the Brevard Street club. I was impressed that the lineup often included noted jazz drummer Leon Anderson, trumpeter Scotty Barnhart, when he was in town, Bill Kennedy of Florida State's College of Music and on and on..."
