ELAINE DAME
July 16 at 9:30PM
$25-35 cover charge. $60 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.

Something to Live For: The Strayhorn & Ellington Collaboration - Jazz Vocalist Elaine Damecelebrates the collaboration of two of America's most innovative and exciting jazz icons. On this, the centennial of Strayhorn's birth, Ms. Dame will commemorate and celebrate the magic of their 29-year partnership. Since 1996, the woman Time Out Chicago calls "a jazz dynamo" and "a gem in the city's vocal jazz scene" has been turning heads and capturing attention at the nation's finest clubs and venues. From her regular appearances at New York's legendary Rainbow Room to her upcoming headlining appearance at the 2015 Chicago Jazz Festival, Elaine's is a career spent at the heart of swinging and sophisticated jazz, bringing her joyful, modern take to these vintage standards. Elaine's sophomore recording You're My Thrill was released to wide critical acclaim and world-wide radio play. Neil Tesser, Grammy Award-winning writer and author of The Playboy Guide to Jazz said this: "Elaine possesses an exacting, exhilarating command of melodic lines and emotional currents. It helps that she has pinpoint intonation: in performance, I don't believe I've ever heard her miss her mark, even on difficult leaps or drops in melody line. But she handles those intervals with a dancer's grace and a nuanced attack which allow the line to unfold seamlessly. She floats through a melody without any apparent effort; to appreciate her musicianship, listen to most other singers handle the same material (you can practically hear them sweat). And Dame's phrasing manages to wed an improviser's expressiveness with a welcome fidelity to the words and their meaning. I think if a saxophone could speak, it might sound like this."

MARCUS GOLDHABER
July 25 at 9:30PM
$25-35 cover charge. $65 premium seating. $25 food and beverage minimum.

Exciting. Fresh. Tasteful. Hip! Picture a street lamp dimly lit...an empty block during the smallest hours of post-evening mist...an endless cycle of songs groovin' along and half a moon to help guide the way...that's Swing Street. Hangin' his hat at 54 Below for an evening, Marcus Goldhaber takes a stroll through a captivating collection of re-imagined jazz standards and new originals that People Magazine says "will have you giddy one moment, melancholy the next and loving every note." Having shared NYC stages with the legendary Les Paul, Vince Giordano, and Bono, Goldhaber's artistic journey has seen him evolve from a "wonderfully imaginative" (JazzTimes) jazz interpreter to a wistfully undeniable composer and lyricist of modern standards, who shines with an intuition for telling the story. "A lot of these songs have been inspired by moments in my life," says Goldhaber. "That's really where the joy lies for me. That's the real passion that I have. It's not about simply writing a song or hearing something that swings. It's really about the connection." Marcus has 4 acclaimed CD's out on Fallen Apple Records and has performed at many of NYC's top venue's including Birdland, Kitano, Iridium and The Metropolitan Room. His latest CD, A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening, has been featured by Jonathan Schwartz on WNYC and Sirius XM saying, "Goldhaber is excellent...[he's] filled with ideas!"

An eclectic walk between the realms of folk and pop, Mr. Pfeil's theatrically-charged melodic and poetic sensibilities weave a modern tapestry that examines humanity's continued search for joy.
