Description
Kat Edmonson is catching a sizable buzz for her skills as a jazz singer; the Boston Globe said that she's one of the most talented vocalists to come along since Cassandra Wilson. Her Take To the Sky (Convivium) is a nifty little record, trawling both pop (the Cure's "Just Like Heaven") and jazz ("Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most"). The program is simultaneously familiar and unique. The arrangements are novel without being off-putting; the singer's voice is idiosyncratic without being bizarre. Maybe the Globe was talking about individualism. That's what you'll hear when you get to the Knickerbocker Café, 35 Railroad Avenue, Westerly. Keep an ear out for saxophonist John Ellis, a key part of her sextet. He's one of the hottest young horn players in New York. Pat Mitchell opens at 7 pm | $20 | 401.596.4225 (Providence Phoenix) Cabaret style seating. Food available. www.theknickerbockercafe.com

With an imaginative repertoire that includes jazzy remakes of the Cure’s “Just Like Heaven’’ and the Cardigans’ ...Post a Countdown Widget
