On Saturday,
March 15th, 2003 at 9PM, the Inter-Media
Art Center (IMAC) in Huntington, Long Island will present
a special concert featuring PATTI
AUSTIN in
BeboperElla- a musical tribute
to the BeBop Era and the illustrious Ella Fitzgerald.
Patti
Austin, five
jazz musicians selected via an audition process from the Berklee
School of Music, and special guest artists have joined forces
to create the musical extravaganza BeboperElla!, a modern day
music-driven ritual, reuniting and fueling the return of the spirits
of Bebop along with the music of Ella Fitzgerald.
Patti Austin,
one of the most beloved artists and performers literally the world
over, is the daughter of a jazz trombonist and goddaughter of
musical legends Quincy Jones and Diana Washington.
She first hit the stage with Washington at the tender age
of four debuting at the world-famous Apollo Theater in Harlem.
During the 1970�s she was the undisputed �queen� of the
New York jingle session scene.
Her voice was heard on literally hundreds of commercials
and she has backed everyone from Paul Simon, Cat Stevens and Joe
Cocker to Bette Midler, Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross and Diana
Ross.
Tickets
for this performance are $35.00 ($26.50 for IMAC Members). For
