“THE CAT’S MEOW” VALENTINE’S DAY SOIREE
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Black Cat
(see times)
Featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Miss Azure McCall and the spell inducing Sax sounds of NYC’s Stacy Dillard
Azure McCall, Hawaii’s first lady of jazz, is heir to the vocal tradition of Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McCrae and Billie Holiday as an interpretive artist who makes each song her own. Azure delivers the message of the song with a purity few singers can even imagine.
Stacy Dillard, raised in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, started playing the saxophone at a rather late age. In his hometown, there isn’t much music happening, but only Robert Moore, Stacy’s band instructor, and a host of close friends. Athletics was a big part of his life, leading to the late start on the instrument. Stacy attended college at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio to study with Dr. William Denza, Jim Smith, Chris Berg, and Lenard Moses. Very quickly, Dillard acquired the necessary knowledge that would soon put his name out on the local scene. It was a run-in with Wynton Marsalis in Dayton, Ohio that would turn his attention to the New York Scene. After graduation, Stacy took the act to Cincinnati, where he stayed for a short time and made his first recording appearance with Mike Wade on trumpet, drummer Melvin Broach and pianist William Men
