Don’t miss Vicki Burns in the Birdland Theater at 8:30!

Vicki Burns celebrates the release of her new CD, Lotus Blossom Days on Thursday, February 2 with a stellar band featuring Art Hirahara on piano and Sam Bevan on bass and arrangements. The album features fresh lyrics to instrumental tunes like Billy Strayhorn’s “Lotus Blossom (Lotus Blossom Days)” and”Bittersweet,” John Coltrane’s “Equinox (A Long Way to Go),” and original music, such as the new song “Love Spell,” dubbed”intoxicating” by noted Grammy Award winning jazz critic, Neil Tesser. Tesser also said, “You can cobble a definition of a true “jazz singer” from various factors, but here’s the thing: no matter which ones you choose, Vicki Burns will still fit the bill.”Rounding out the program will be Sam Bevan’s new arrangements of such greatSongbook classics as Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer’s haunting “Out OfThis World.”

Described by the legendary jazz drummer Max Roach as a “gold mine of talent,” Vicki Burns has been singing professionally since she was a teenager when she joined the acclaimed New England based big band, The Clayton Poole Orchestra and toured throughout her college years. Later as a solo act, she sang regularly throughout the Boston area performing at legendary clubs like The Starlight Roof, Ryles and the 1369 Club before heading west, first to San Jose where she sang at clubs like Garden City and the renowned San Jose Jazz Festival and later San Francisco, where she sang regularly at Yoshi’s, Jazz at Pearl’s, Enrico’s and Anna’s Jazz Island. It was at Anna’s that she recorded her first live album in 2008 with Blues legend Taj Mahal in the audience. Her first studio album Siren Song, released in 2003, received rave reviews including a quote from noted jazz critic Dan Ouelette, who said that she succeeded with “rapturous, mystical beauty” and by Herb Wong, beloved Bay Area jazz critic who said: “Avoiding the predictability of safe havens, her music brims with many more surprises and uncharted delights in the jazz tradition. Vicki Burns is irresistible.”

Since moving to New York City in 2009, Vicki has performed at such noted venues as Birdland, The Iridium, Mezzrow, Jazz at Kitano, Zinc Bar, Cornelia Street Cafe, The Plaza Hotel and The Metropolitan Room and has had a residency at The Lexington Hotel’s Stayton Room since 2015. She will release her new studio album in June of 2022. Entitled Lotus Blossom Days, it features sparkling new arrangements of rarely heard standards and originals.

”VickiBurns has a limitless future. Her very attractive voice, versatile style and infectious delivery combine to give her her own memorable sound.” Scott Yanow Jazz Times, Downbeat, Cadence

Co-choreographed by Ethan Stiefel and Johan Kobborg, Giselle makes its American Repertory Ballet premiere at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center in March 2023. This celebrated and moving production had its world premiere at the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2012, and has since toured the globe.

The tragic tale unfolds against the ghostly backdrop of a Rhineland forest haunted by the fearful presence of the “Wilis” – vengeful spirits of abandoned brides. The beautiful peasant girl, Giselle, falls for Albrecht who conceals his identity to win her. The discovery of her lover’s deception shatters Giselle’s innocence and causes her to die of a broken heart. Albrecht is thrown into the hands of the merciless Wilis, but Giselle cannot bear to watch him die and returns as a ghost to save him.

One of the most romantic story ballets of all time, Giselle illustrates the strength of love, the devastation of betrayal, and the power of forgiveness.

Live music performance at The New Rochelle Library in the Ossie Davis Theater featuring drummer/leader Wayne Henderson, Marco Panascia on bass, Tadataka Unno on piano, Abel Mireles on sax and Eric Miller on trombone.
