Photo Coverage: Iridium Celebrates Jazz Day with Terese Genecco & Her Little Big Band

Iridium Night Club just celebrated International Jazz Day with a performance from Terese Genecco & Her Little Big Band. Check out photos from the concert below!

Terese Genecco is a four-time MAC Award winner, (for Show of the Year and Major Artist in 2012, Best Recording in 2008, and Best Female Vocalist in 2009) and has also received two Bistro Awards for her acclaimed tribute shows. Her jazz-musical creation, "Drunk With Love: A Tribute to Frances Faye" began as a five-week, semi-theatrical run in San Francisco in 2005. For her New York City debut later that year, she morphed the show into a rollicking nightclub act in celebration of her musical idol. That show was recorded live at The Metropolitan Room for her debut CD and received a Time Out NY Top 10 pick in 2006. "Drunk with Love: The Sequel" played at The Metropolitan Room, earning another Top Ten nod from Time Out NY in 2007. Beginning in February 2008, Genecco was booked into San Francisco's Rrazz Room for a year of late-night Saturday dates, culminating in a memorable blowout in January 2009 that featured, for the first time, special guest star Lea DeLaria. These upcoming January no-holds-barred performances reunite the hard-swinging pair, nicknamed "The Jazzbians" by their colorful San Francisco audiences.

Genecco relocated to New York City in March of 2009 when she began her open-ended run of Last Tuesday of The Month performances at The Iridium. In March of 2013, the award-winning singer and bandleader celebrates her fourth anniversary there (with over 80 performances to date.) She recorded and released her sophomore CD, "Live From The Iridium NYC" last March on the independent Bug:Out:Music label. Genecco continues to charm audiences around the world with her unique, one-woman Rat Pack, Las Vegas-style performances.
