Mark Aaron James Does Lesbians

By -

Hey,
Well, as you know, I don't pick the nominees for the
"Undercover" shows. Not that I don't love the category for this
week. I just wasn't expecting it when it was called out from the
crowd. I'm very psyched that it won, however, as it allows for some
amazing songs. We will be celebrating the songs of Lesbians. Yes,
lesbians. As expected, there will be songs by Melissa Etheridge,
Indigo Girls and K.D. Lang. I will also include some lesser known
ladies who love ladies, along with those who have been rumored to,
like Joan Armatrading, Jill Sobule, Tracy Chapman and Catie Curtis.
Of course, it will be an enjoyable show for people of all genders and
orientations. I hope you can make it out this Tuesday, to
Mr. Denehey's, on Carmine and 7th Ave, downstairs at 8:30 PM.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who came out to the showcase at Rockwood.
You guys packed the place and made me look good. I will definitely
be back there later in the year.

( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
