To celebrate French Independence Day, Lua Hadar with Twist returns for an encore performance of their popular French Music Hall show, C'est Magnifique! This Bastille-Day-with-a-Twist features Lua on French and English vocals, Music Director Jason Martineau on piano, Dan Feiszli on bass, Kelly Park on drums, and special guest Dave Sturdevant on guitar and harmonica.
The show presents a variety of songs from the popular traditions of Paris, including those of American songwriter Cole Porter; hence the title C'est Magnifique!, a song from Cole Porter's 1953 musical, Can-Can.
Dave Sturdevant’s harmonica brings a Toots Thielemans-style to the show, in addition to the rhythm of his swinging guitar.
French songs by Charles Trenet, Maxime LeForestier, Edith Piaf and Serge Gainsbourg round out the set list, and as ever, Lua’s fun and quirky stories provide her personalized bridge to the songs, whether you speak French or not.
Saturday, July 11 at 8pm (seating from 7pm) at Society Cabaret at the Hotel Rex Union Square, 562 Sutter Street, San Francisco. Tickets start at $25 (NO FEES) at Ticketmaster or societycabaret.com Or call 415-857-1896. Full bar, great food.
ABOUT TWIST: Since its inception in 2007, Hadar's cosmopolitan jazz ensemble TWIST has developed a multi-lingual world jazz fusion that twists the styles of international standards and brings new material into the jazz idiom.
...such a lovely variety of songs from cabaret traditions of Paris (and beyond), that we might as well have been in a brick-walled basement room in the Quartier Latin. - Talkin' Broadway
First call band of international talent and an innate gift of swing. - Critical Jazz
