ScoBar Entertainment presents an open-run of Michael
Berkowitz & the Gene Krupa Orchestra every Wednesday evening from 5-7PM,
beginning September 5 at the Laurie Beechman Theater
"The Gene Krupa Orchestra, led by drummer Michael Berkowitz,
has been performing to sold-out houses and standing ovations from coast to
coast," state press notes, "Berkowitz, recently back from a European Tour with
Liza Minnelli, is returning to his All-Star Big Band (15 pieces) playing
Krupa's big hits and swing-era classics: 'Drum Boogie,' 'Lover,' 'Body and
Soul,' 'Wire Brush Stomp,' 'Sing, Sing, Sing' and many others. A jaw dropping
drumming pro, he brings the music of 'America's Ace Drummer Man' to life,
with his incredible technique, expression & sensitivity. Vocals made famous
by Krupa singers Anita O'Day and Irene Daye, will be performed by a different
guest artist, each week. To open the
run, the first guest vocalist will be Manhattan Transfer founding member,
Laurel Masse."
The open-ended concert engagement begins September 5, every
Wednesday from 5-7PM. The Laurie
Beechman Theatre is located at 407
West 42nd Street, New York. Tickets are $20, plus a $15 food/drink
minimum. For reservations call 212-695-6909.
