It's a match made in Vegas! Two of the most impressive celebrity impersonators in the business -- Sharon Owens and Sebastian Anzaldo -- pay tribute to two of music's greatest icons -- Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra. In real life, Streisand and Sinatra never performed live together, but in this show, Owens and Anzaldo sing some of the most most memorable music ever written and exchange banter so spot-on to their characters that you feel like you've been transported to the celebrity concert you always wished had happened. For her amazing Streisand impersonation, Owens was winner of the Fox TV show Performing As..., which led to a series of TV appearances and a long run at the Las Vegas Riviera, where she headlined with Anzaldo in Barbra and Frank, The Concert That Never Was. Anzaldo, who has the voice, looks and mannerisms of 'Ol Blue Eyes, was one of the top acts on the Vegas circuit for eight years with his band Wild Life before joining forces with Owens for Barbra and Frank.

Kim Nally is very talented and her band is awesome as well. She encourages audience particpation which is fun and Pearl's has a nice atmosphere. However, she sang two tunes with sexual innuendo. Judge whether or not you should go on whether you find this fun or offensive.Written on Nov 19 2007

Simone St. Clare
At the intimate and elegant "Jazz at Pearl's", the glamour of 1940's era San Francisco feels like it's never left town. Kim Nalley's silky smooth voice and alluring stage presence recalls a time when s-e-x was all about mystery and fun...My advice is to order yourself a long, cool drink; loosen your tight clothing and take pleasure in the thrill of discovering someone special... before the thunderous crowds make it impossible to hear this jewel of a songstress at such a wonderful venue!Written on Nov 19 2007

Description
Kim Nalley is an American jazz & blues singer known for her powerful, flexible multi-octave voice that can fill a room with no amplification, melodious scat, striking stage presence and sexy good looks. Nalley is "like Jessica Rabbit and Louis Armstrong at the same time," writer Giorgio Santeria said of her performance at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy. Although she is known for jazz & blues, Kim Nalley has been seen playing folk guitar, singing R&B and spirituals, Yoshi Kato writes for the "with a flowing tone, an articulate delivery and a formidable understanding of musical principles and history, Nalley is comfortable in many a vocal setting." Kim Nalley is also an actress, a historian, the owner of the San Francisco jazz club Jazz at Pearl's since 2003 and recently awarded as one of the "Ten Most Influential African Americans in the Bay Area."
Nalley combines a lithe, beautiful sound and compelling sense of swing with just enough old-school razzle dazzle to create an instant and genuine rapport with her audience. Expect a swinging evening of standards in the tradition of Billie Holiday, Joe Williams, Ella Fitzgerald and, yes, Nina Simone, from a wonderful songstress and a great entertainer.
Nalley will be joined for these dates by an ensemble of terrific Bay Area talent, including pianist Tammy Hall, guitarist Josh Workman, bassist Michael Zisman and drummer Kent Bryson.
