Isabel Rose to Perform at Blue Note, NYC April 11th
Don Heckman: She “Sings and Swings" with “An Authenticity That Reaches Into the Classic Traditions of American Pop Song"
In a 'Pick of the Week' preview for singer Isabel Rose's recent Los Angeles concert debut, legendary jazz critic Don Heckman wrote: “She does it all—co-wrote and starred in the film, Anything But Love, has written a novel—intriguingly titled The J.A.P. Chronicles — and a one-woman musical. As if that wasn't enough, she also sings and swings on her CD Swingin' From the Hip with an authenticity that reaches into the classic traditions of American pop song." The write-up, which appeared via Heckman's popular International Review of Music, marks the latest in a series of favorable impressions by some of the top jazz and Broadway critics in America.
Over the course of the past year, Rose has evoked comparisons to a pantheon of legendary vocalists, from Peggy Lee to Bette Midler to Ann-Margret to Frank Sinatra. Her jazz/pop/swing/Cabaret hybrid, 'Swingin' From the Hip,' has earned universal raves. A cross-section of recent coverage follows below. Listen to a sampling of tracks, here: http://isabelrose.com/listen.html.
On April 11th, Rose will perform at one of New York's premiere jazz clubs, the Blue Note: http://www.bluenote.net/newyork/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=8733, joined a band that will include Ted Firth on keys, Warren Odze on drums, Martin Wind on bass (and more guests to be announced soon.)
MORE ABOUT ISABEL ROSE:
Isabel Rose has moxie—the kind that made multi-hyphenates such as Ann-Margret, Peggy Lee and Bette Midler so appealing in years past. Rose's never-say-never attitude has carried her through many an odd challenge over the course of her fascinating career. Whether writing and starring in a major motion picture released by Samuel Goldwyn, getting a mega-deal from Doubleday for her debut novel, or composing and starring in an Off-Broadway musical adaptation of that novel, she's always found a way to make big things happen. Already praised by critics as a writer and actress, she achieves the hat trick with Swingin' from the Hip, her debut CD.
A natural performer, Rose has been praised as “vibrant" by Time Out New York and “Impressive" by The New York Times. Her recent show at Joe's Pub (5/10) sold out three weeks in advance.
Produced by Julian Fleisher, himself a popular figure in the New York nightclub scene, with arrangements by Jeff Klitz, Swingin' from the Hip is a cohesive and kicky collection that will take you by surprise and keep you smiling.
Track listing: Aquarius; Lovely Day; I Enjoy Being A Girl; Temptation; Hit Me With Your Best Shot; Haven't We Met; Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me; I Only Wanna Be With You; Boy Wanted; On The Street Where You Live; Thirteen Men; Ac-cent-tchu- ate the Positive; The Best Is Yet To Come.
