BAY AREA JAZZ CHANTEUSE LYNANN KING CHANNELS THE GOLDEN ERA OF HOLLYWOOD, FEATURING THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

Bay Area Jazz Chanteuse LynAnn King brings dinner theatre to Mill Valley, adding new rhythmic grooves to the American Songbook of Great Classics. This show even includes some surprises, including James Bond themes to round out the show.

King's velvety, rich soprano voice has recently added the Golden Era of Hollywood classics and dives deep into the life and times of the celebrity personalities. Her vast jazz repertoire includes favorite lyricist, Johnny Mercer, quoting that both Oscar Hammerstein 11 and Alan Jay Lerner called him the best-known songwriter of his generation, which spanned four decades of unforgettable music, the list is long and impressive. Other composers of the time highlighted are Harold Arlen and Henry Mancinni, famous for Moon River and Days of Wine and Roses, giving intimate details of the lifestyles of the times, sure to have the audience sitting on the edge, embracing the essence of the era and the celebrities that have become icons.

King's vocal appeal is enhanced by her expansive knowledge of the life and times of the Golden Era. "I have been studying all the composers, and Mercer's life is especially woven in with all the collaborative musicians he partnered and partied with, including Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Henry Mancinni, Harold Arlen and even Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The Golden Era music is timeless, and lives on with the romance and intrigue of the glamour era lyrics.

Accompanying her on this musical American Songbook experience is Boston-born Jef Labes, an experienced individual performer in the Bay Area, who has worked with many top songwriters and vocalists, including Van Morrison and Bonnie Raitt. "Jef and I click musically and we have a blast, the audience loves us." says King.
