 A portion of tonight's proceeds will be donated to the American Red Cross's relief efforts for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Brian Collazo of Live Society and Lexi Lawson from the cast of Rent are longtime friends that grew up in Orange County, NY. Last year, they hatched the idea of putting on a cool Christmas show back home and donating a portion of the proceeds to families affected by hurricane Sandy. The show was a sold-out, standing room only, smash success! This year, they have invited, once more, the all-star line-up of Hudson Valley & NYC artists to sit in, jam out, and duet the night away for an intimate, jazzed out Christmas bash. Check out their amazing band and special guests!

10:00 pm | Ed Palermo's Big Band, featuring Napoleon Murphy Brock | The FALCON
1348 Route 9W
Marlboro, NY See Map |
 Ed Palermo is not a “business as usual” musician. After all, when most people think of “big bands” they think of Duke and Dorsey. But go to see Ed Palermo’s Big Band and you might hear Zappa, Hendrix, the blues of Paul Butterfield & Mike Bloomfield or one of Ed’s own compositions.
Gil Evans wonderfully articulated Palermo’s unusual approach to traditional instrumentation: “I first heard Ed Palermo’s music in a small club in the SoHo section of Manhattan. He was using the instrumentation of a traditional big band yet his arrangements & songs were anything but that. When I thought the music was going a certain direction, it would suddenly turn a corner...”
American singer, saxophonist & flute player, Napoleon Murphy Brock, is best known for his work with Frank Zappa in the 1970s, including the albums One Size Fits All, Roxy & Elsewhere, & Bongo Fury. His own most memorable vocal accomplishments are illustrated on the songs "Village of the Sun" & "Florentine Pogen.". |

Campbell Hall, NY See Map |
 I am honored to be invited by Barry Adelman, co-founder of MFH, to perform a half hour set in their monthly showcase. I'll do guitar instrumental Christmas music, mostly my own arrangements.
Barry always has a great lineup for these shows, and I'm happy to see fingerstyle wizard John Sheehan on the bill! Fingerstyle is playing with 3 or 4 fingers rather than a guitar pick, and that 's my favorite style as well. Sometimes it sounds like 2 guitars when it's just solo. I haven't heard J.Desibia /P.Cotsis yet, but again, Barry selects enjoyable performers, so I look forward to it.
Music for Humanity is a non-profit organization that provides music education scholarships to students in need. There is no charge for the performance night, but if you can donate a few dollars toward the scholarships, it is appreciated. This will be a very musical and fun evening, and we hope to see you there!

his outlook on life and is evident in his

 Mala Waldron is a prolific songwriter as well as an accomplished pianist/vocalist based in the New York City area. She has performed internationally in such places as France, Italy, Japan, China, Malaysia, Belgium and most recently Russia.
Her CDs include "He's My Father" (duo with father, jazz pianist/composer Mal Waldron,) "Lullabye" (tribute to her godmother, Billie Holiday) and her most recent "Always There" which, in addition to being her first U.S. release, was also licensed by Columbia Records in Japan and voted one of the "Top 20 Jazz CDs of 2006" by Jazz USA.
Equally captivating on vocals as on piano, she has been compared to the likes of Nina Simone, Diana Krall and Roberta Flack as her appeal is broad. She clearly draws inspiration from the various genres of music she was exposed to as a child. with the strongest influence coming from her jazz roots. |

 Drew Bordeaux, our Ladies' Night performer, is joined tonight by one of his favorite young women, his "lil sis" Selena!
Drew is an accomplished singer, guitarist, violinist and bass player, and one of our favorite artists. But, among all his accomplishments, Drew is first and foremost a songwriter. He has composed dozens of songs and performed at an impressive list of venues, including Boston's the Middle East and Sanders Theater, and NYC's the Bitter End, Ace of Clubs and CBGB (and let's not forget 12 Grapes!)
Selena is also a talented guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. We first met Selena as a young teen, and she's grown to be an outstanding performer. Both Selena and Drew will be singing many of their original tunes tonight, as well as some choice covers.
Join us on the couches, for dinner or just a glass of wine (Bordeaux, perhaps?) and another entertaining "Unplugged" Sunday.

The next Monday night jazz session at Quinn's will present two of the most talented and experienced multi-instrumentalists at work today, Kali. Z Fasteau and lee mixashawn rozie. With Fasteau on keyboard, drum set, voice, ney flutes and mizmar and Rozie on tenor and soprano saxophones, flute and djembe, the duo possesses an enormous arsenal of instruments that is truly global in scope with which they create extraordinary sonic explorations without boundary. And given their mutual experience performing and recording with some truly legendary musicians -- including such names as Donald Rafael Garrett, Archie Shepp, Rashied Ali, William Parker, Oliver Lake, Joseph Jarman, Ronald Shannon Jackson, Joe McPhee, Vernon Reid, among many others -- this performance is sure to be one of the most remarkable evenings in the series. As with all Monday jazz sessions at Quinn's, here will be no cover charge at the door, though donations for the artists will be requested and gratefully accepted.
