DESCRIPTION:
Rome Neal did it again!!! On August 2, 2008, at the famous Nuyorican Poets Cafe in New York City, Rome Neal's Banana Puddin Jazz Jam brought to the stage, 10 young ladies who are as talented as they are beautiful. That night you heard the creative works of Julia Christgau, Jacinda Nicole, Ashley Lorelle, Rahimah Karim, Kavita Shah, Kelly Nagata Powers, Tsugawa Kuriko, Maiko Ono, Megumi Sanihashi and Kharisa Dowe. Each one of them cooked up their own unique flavor of the jazz classics to the excitment of everybody there. This clip is the first of many introductions, because you'll be hearing a lot more from these ladies in the near future. To see more of the Beautiful Young Ladies of Jazz, as well as the other great performances that took place, go to www.myspace.com/bananapuddinjazz. Rome Neal's Banana Puddin Jazz Jam is a series of jazz concerts held on the first Saturday of every month at the Nuyorican at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, at 236 East 3rd Street, on the Lower East Side of New York City. They can be reached at www.nuyorican.org So make it a point on the first Saturday of next month, to come to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, grab a scoop of Banana Puddin, grab a drink, and listen to some of the best jazz in New York City. Peace.
