Jon Rekdal LIVE in New York
From SWEDEN comes the unique pianist with an off-beat touch. He's Jon Rekdal and he's got a small but growing following in the Big Apple. Jon has been on the scene here for the last three or so years, sitting in on sessions and jamming with some of the best in town. Jon is doing it with flair and we're helping him get the word out. And so, in HIS WORDS, we let him tell you the deal in his own way below......... Monday Feb 26th.
There will be Jazz at the Roger Smith.
Glenn Miller wrote Pennsylvania 6-5000, it's the number to hotel Pennsylvania. Maybe he was trying to get people to come to the hotel where he had a 5 year residency during WW2?
There were a lot of girls coming to his shows I have been told, most of the men were out to war.....
Book your table at 1-212-744-1400.
501 Lexington Avenue, between 48th and 47th streets, note the address....
music between 6:30 and 9:30 pm so it's a little bit on the earlyside....

The Caribbean Scene
ST. VINCENT PREPARES FOR BLUES AND RHYTHMS FESTIVAL
NEW YORK (February 21, 2007) – St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean is ready again to play host to the annual Blues and Rhythms Festival which is currently being promoted on the BET J television network.
Glen Beache, Minister of Tourism, Youth and Sports, said the March 9-10 festival coincides with ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 warm-up matches and will be held at a new location, the Emerald Valley Resort in St. Vincent. "We are very happy with the progress being made and we are looking forward to a successful festival this year," said Minister Beache, praising the partnership with BET J.
Confirmed for the festival are legendary GRAMMY Award-winning recording artiste, Stephanie Mills; French Caribbean zouk sensation Kassav; "The Blues Queen of New Orleans" Marva Wright; saxophonist Arturo Tappin from Barbados; Ella Andell from Trinidad & Tobago. Local musicians Bomani, Skarpyon, Digicel Rising Star Kyron Baptiste, steel pan player Ashley Kirby, and the Tropicana II and Akcess bands will also perform.
In addition to a thorough marketing campaign, BET J developed a 30 minute preview show promoting the Blues and Rhythms Festival using a Caribbean-based production team and St. Lucian host Portia Mogal.
The preview show is currently in rotation on BET J's "Island Lime" format on Saturdays, along with a 30 second commercial. The final BET J airdate is this Saturday February 24 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. (Eastern time). The show aired earlier on BET.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a destination made up of 32 magical islands and cays, each with its own special character and flavor. St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a delightful place, small enough to offer the visitor intimacy, but big enough to provide fascination for a prolonged visit.
For further information about the festival, contact the Ministry of Tourism, Youth & Sports at + 1 784 457-1502 or E-mail: tourism@caribsurf.com.
