Ilene Kristen and Forbes March

OK one more post today about Daytime Drama, but this time to sing the praises of two top notch multi-talented actors from One Life to Live.

Unfortunately fan club events tend to be over priced affairs where fans are often treated like cattle. The smaller boutique events, like the one held by Alicia Minshew, are the ones to be encouraged. Some fans find themselves lost in the crowd only to realize that this kind of 'thing' tends to turn the actors into a kind of bargain basement commodity. The fans, therefore, are regimented into loyal little consumers. It can be an exhausting ordeal.

In spite of the high negative quotient involved here, both Ms. Kristen and Mr. March were the last actors to leave One Life to Live's fan club event reamaining until the last fan got the desired autograph. Kudos to these good people who appreciate their fans.

One more piece of fan mail that came to us regarding Ilene's appearance at Prohibition:

Hey Giano - just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed Ilene's show at Prohibition this past Monday. I was really impressed with her voice and stage presence. I had only heard her sing once before and it was only one song. It was great to listen to the songs from the first set and I especially enjoyed "Heat Wave." So let me know the next time she is singing so I can see her perform again.

Ilene Kristen the Actress/Singer/Songwriter for the discerning fan.

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( 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
