An Evening With His Royal Hipness Lord Buckley
- Full Price:
- $20.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00
'50s comedian Lord Buckley's jazz-influenced delivery and surreal use of language made him a major influence on Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, among others. Jake Broder re-enacts his routines, backed by a live jazz trio, in a performance the Los Angeles Times has called "the coolest show in town." This tribute is a joyous celebration of the routines of the late counter-culture comedian who was a cabaret legend beloved of Al Capone and Frank Sinatra and who continues to influence pop culture today. You can expect laughs, shock, outrageous contemporary satire and some great tunes. Learn More

I thought I purchased a ticket to see this tribute show to Frances Faye. I've heard of Frances Faye, but never knew much about her & was looking forward to seeing this show. It was not a show about F.Faye, but a lounge act from a woman in a mans suit and a male guest singer that was softer than her. She was good, but it was NOT the show I purchased tickets for. A lot of money went into the 7 piece wonderful orchestra and it was well produced and presented.....but not the show I went to see, so that was disappointing.Written on Jul 28 2008

Description
Terese Genecco is the Bay Area's reigning "Entertainer of the Year," a 2007 Backstage Bistro Award Winner, a 2006 and 2007 MAC award (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs) nominee, and and her two award-winning shows, "Drunk With Love: A Tribute To Frances Faye!" and "Drunk With Love: The Sequel" were named to Time Out New York's Top Ten Best lists for 2006 and 2007.
Genecco is best known for her award-winning performances (with her seven-piece Little Big Band) in her own jazz, musical creation, "Drunk with Love: A Tribute to Frances Faye." This show made its world premiere in San Francisco, where it opened at the New Conservatory Theatre Center in July 2005, and ran for five consecutive weeks, before moving to New York City for multiple engagements at The Encore Showroom, Jazz @ Lincoln Center, The Iridium Jazz Club, and more than a dozen performances at Manhattan's nightclub newcomer, The Metropolitan Room.
Genecco has performed in major venues around the San Francisco Bay Area, including Jazz at Pearl's, The Empire Plush Room, The Purple Onion, COPIA, The New Conservatory Theatre Center, ODC Theater, Kelly’s of Alameda, Octavia Lounge, and The Herbst Theater. In New York, she has performed at Jazz @ Lincoln Center, Birdland, the Iridium Jazz Club, The Metropolitan Room, and The Encore Showroom. She has also appeared in Los Angeles at Club Ten20, The Gardenia, and The M Bar.
Genecco's Little Big Band roster changes regularly, but these are the masterful musicians you are most likely to see on stage with her: Mike Greensill, Tammy Hall, and Barry Lloyd sharing duties with Terese at the piano; Daniel Fabricant and Fred Randolph on bass; Randy Odell, Kelly Park, and Brian Fishler on drums; The legendary Jack Costanzo and Jacob Lawlor on Latin percussion; Rich Armstrong and Ellen Seeling on trumpet; Tony Malfatti, Fil Lorenz, and Jean Feinberg on tenor sax; and Max Perkoff and Mara Fox on trombone.
About the Ticket Supplier: M Bar
The "M" stands for music, martinis and mangia (Italian for "eat"). Enter through red velvet drapes to find a speakeasy-like interior dripping in dramatic red, from the vinyl booths to the server's micro-miniskirt. The crowd is eclectic and the mood is bohemian--low lighting, high artistic vibe.
