Terese and her Little Big Band are a talent that deserves to be noticed more. It was a show that I won't forget. Her band is outstanding with 2 women in her horn section from the Montclair Women's Big Band, the Director and Assistant Director Ellen Seeling and Jean Fineberg respectively. She even had a special surprise guest that night... Jeff Applebaum, a very funny comedian from N.Y.
I would see Terese again and again.

Terrific vocalist with a great band! Terese is a dynamo who delivers swinging interpretations of standards, Rat Pack numbers, and a little rock and roll. Convince yourself and some friends that you really can stay up this late on a Saturday night and get yourself down to the Rrazz Room to see this show.

I predict "Last Call" will become the new "Beach Blanket": a San Francisco must-see for tourists and residents alike. Terese is an exhilarating performer who has found her niche. Her voice, her arrangements, her musicians, her patter are all first-rate. She's an inherently likable entertainer, and last night her special guest was the equally irresistible Shawn Ryan. The audience was in love.

More Details About This Event:

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.
