Dear friends,

It's Lucy's going away groupmuse, so we're pulling out all the stops! The Marlonius Jazz Orchestra -- an 11 piece jazz ensemble + Marlon Martinez on the bass and as band leader -- is joined by the bewitching jazz singer, Mara Kaye, for an evening of absolutely breathtaking tunes and energy.

It's Lucy's third groupmuse and it's on September 3rd -- so we're charging $33 and all money goes to this magnificent big band!

See you there!

What's the music?

Marlonius Jazz Orchestra Big Band

Mara Kaye will sing the music of Billie Holiday! These are brand new, soulful arrangements by Marlon Martinez, scored specially for Mara's bluesy, captivating voice and the Mini-Marlonius Jazz Orchestra (11-pieces).

Where does this music come from?

Billie Holiday (1915-1959) aka "Lady Day" popularized blues, jazz and Tin Pan Alley songs written during her lifetime, many of those songs, such as "Strange Fruit," "Lover Man" and "Blue Moon" are now famous because of her. She was the first African-American singer to perform live with an all-white band. She revolutionized jazz singing with her forward-thinking approach to singing the blues and interpreting lyrics. She is a black, and queer icon who remained strong in the face of racial discrimination, segregation, and hate crimes against her during Jim Crow America.
