Hey Everybody- keeping with the Charity Theme…there is a great event that Fred Lee (CBC, Vancouver Courier) and I are both emceeing called Jazzilla! The event raises money for the Shooting Stars Foundation which produces special events with passion, integrity and innovation to raise money for people with HIV/AIDS.
Jazzilla is afternoon pre-Oscar celebration, featuring many of Western Canada’s top vocalists performing songs of the Oscars. How fun is that?
A phenomenal showcase of talent featuring internationally renowned touring artist Jennifer Scott, three-time Juno nominee Kate Hammett-Vaughan, Juno and National Jazz Award Nominee Karin Plato and many more.
Backed by Musical Director Miles Black on keyboards, Rene Worst on bass, Tom Keenleyside on Sax and Graham Boyle on drums, each performer will sing one piece specially selected for this tribute to the Oscars.
I will also be singing a song, Sooner or Later (Madonna) from Dick Tracey!
It will be a great time, and you’ll still make it home in time for the awards- click here for ticket information and performer bios.
Hope to see you there,
Dawn
re: song ‘Sooner Or Later’ I think the Madonna album version with the Dick Tracy songs is even heavier than the Dick Tracy Soundtrack album version.. I don’t know if I could even listen to DC’s covers of those songs. She must sound so sultry and fantastic. I think her speaking voice is as beautiful as she is. It would be great to hear Dawn sing on BT somehow if possible. Not nessesarily Be-bop… Thanks to BT for your kind efforts and consistent professionalism. You’ve enriched my life! (how bout Mariah Carey’s ‘Vision Of Love’ soul tune)
