Description
<p> 2007 MAC Award Nominee Russ Lorenson returns to New York for the first time in nearly 2 years to make his Metropolitan Room debut with a brand new show - and live CD recording. </p> There used to be a time when pop music was jazz, when the hippest singers were also the most popular, and when the elastic swing of jazz propelled feet as well as toes. But with the dominance of hip-hop, the fragmentation of the music audience, and the current distance of real jazz from the cultural center, it’s easy to see why the Great American Songbook has been declared dead, if not at least on life support. Russ Lorenson disagrees, and has a show full of "new standards" to prove his point that well-written songs with meaningful lyrics are still being written today, just waiting to be interpreted by thoughtful, jazz-inspired vocalists. With San Francisco Bay Area jazz favorites Kelly Park on piano and Terrence Brewer on guitar, “Standard Time” explores the Great American Songbook of the New Millennium, featuring songs written within the last 20 years - the Standards of a new generation. The shows will be recorded for Russ’ upcoming third CD - come be a part of the live audience!
