Martinis Above Fourth Table + Stage welcomes venerated Jazz pianist/singer Betty Bryant in "Cool Miss B is Back!" Bryant, affectionately known as Cool Miss B, was recently honored as a Living Legend of Jazz by the Living Legend Foundation, which honors the finest established jazz artists.
Betty Bryant always connects with the material and with her audience as she performs blues, jazz and originals with a light swingy touch, torchy passion and elegantly whimsical good humor in her encore performance at Martinis Above Fourth Table + Stage tonight, August 27, at 8:00 PM. Tickets, available at
www.ma4sd.com, are priced at $15 and $20. Rob Thorsen on bass will once again accompany Betty.
Bryant has performed internationally in the Middle East and Brazil, and for many years was a popular regular attraction at the upscale Tableaux Lounge in Tokyo, Japan. The "Betty Bryant Birthday Bash" is a hugely popular annual event in Hollywood, and has been presented at the famed Catalina Jazz Club.
Betty has released eight critically-acclaimed CDs, including 2009's No Regrets, which got airplay on jazz stations worldwide. Peter Solomon, of station WCVE - FM in Richmond, Virginia wrote, "This is a sweet little album. I was struck by her laid-back phrasing. Her piano style sounds something like Basie. This woman has soul." Selections from the album were programmed onto the in-flight entertainment channels of seven major airlines worldwide.
Betty's 2013 release, iteration +, received the most airplay she has gotten to date and charted on the JazzWeek National charts. Selections of Betty's original music can currently be heard on the soap opera,
The Young and The Restless.
Peter Kuller, from Radio Adelaide, Australia says, "Betty Bryant is absolutely amazing and deserves worldwide recognition. A jazz pianist who also sings or a jazz singer who also plays piano, whatever you prefer she does both with great distinction!"
