PRESENTING VINCENT WOLFE: A CANADIAN CROONER IN NYC!
After a successful 3-night performance at Washington DCs BLUES ALLEY
with R&B legend Jean Carne, critically acclaimed Canadian jazz vocalist
Vincent Wolfe will be heading south-of-the-border once again. This
time, Wolfe travels to New York City for a 2-night debut performance
at HELEN'S RESTAURANT, CABARET & PIANO LOUNGE (169 Eighth Avenue,
NYC - 212-206-0609 -
http://www.helensnyc.com/
) on Friday & Saturday, February 16th & 17th, both shows at 9:30 pm.
Wolfe's show, "A Canadian Crooner in New York City," serves-up an
eclectic blend of well-known jazz standards, cabaret tunes and original
compositions. Vincent will be accompanied by the NY-based Alex Levin
Trio.
Vincent Wolfe's tone and style has been described
as "somewhere between Chet Baker and Mel Torme" while steering clear
of imitations. Indeed, Vincent Wolfe is a captivating performer
in his own right. His first two CDs - Trust the Vibe (1999) and
Until Tomorrow (2001) - received much praise from music critics
and jazz-radio programmers across Canada and in the U.S. His talent
as a songwriter has also received kudos and support from cabaret
legend Julie Wilson, jazz diva Marlena Shaw and celebrated composer
Carol Hall (Best Little Whorehouse in Texas).
Vincent Wolfe has played in numerous jazz festivals
and clubs both in Canada and in the U.S. These include Buffalo's
Trafalmadore Cafç, Detroit's Chene Park Amphitheatre, Sculler's
in Boston and The Music Hall in Cleveland. He has also performed
at the prestigious Top O'The Senator, the Montreal Bistro, the Rex
Jazz & Blues Bar and The Red Guitar in Toronto. His third jazz CD
entitled Weaver of Dreams is expected to be released later this
year.
