| 7:00 | Dangling Success - R&B/ Jazz/ Funk, 7- 8pm If some people hit their mid-life crisis and get a toupee and a sports car, what do musicians do? They form the ultimate Groove/R&B/Smooth Jazz band that can only be described as “an aphrodisiac for the spirit.” That's the story behind the dangling success! Five seasoned musicians with varied backgrounds got together to play music with the kind of soul that moves not only your feet, but your spirit too! One thing is clear, the fun the band members have on stage is contagious, and the audience is quick to join in. Chances are you have already heard these veteran musicians, as they have been making music for years with acts like the Isley Brothers, Don Mclean, The Shirelles, John Platania, Bernard Purdie and Guilherme Franco. Locally you've heard them with the Phantoms, the Big Smoothies, Flashback, and the Little Scotty and the Knockouts Jam Band. But you have never heard them like this. The dangling success is mesmerizing, intoxicating and electrifying! |

| 4:00 | The Shrine Sunday Jazz Jam Session, with Lu Reid 4-8pm Spontaneous Jazz does not happen at Lincoln Center...or BAM!!! It is still in Harlem, where my friends and I live it every day. Jazz is about being real and accepting everything. There is no judgement, there is no good or bad, there is no script to follow like at Lincoln Center. All the musicians on these streets are stars. When I was a kid and I first heard that sweet language of that magical Jazz I was hooked for life. You just soaked it up and couldn't help but be moved by it as you walked the streets. I could still feel that kaleidoscope of sound that happened each Sunday and I want to bring it to you. So come on down to the Shrine, bring back those memories and reminisce with us each and every Sunday. |

Perhaps most importantly, living in Amsterdam provided Jake with a broader perspective on life and music.

| 11:00 | Joe Stone - Garage/ Blues, 11- 12am Joe Stone is new to the New York Blues Scene. Coming from the Black Forest, Germany, he uses his second language to discuss how to overcome emotional disasters. Joe Stone is not his real name. Tom Waits appeared at his window, ordered a cake and told him he had to shed the forest, keep the blackness, and he called him a stone old kid. Joe took up his new name, thinking it would be easier for you to remember; and for him to forget. With a voice best compared to a graveled road, he kindly invites you to shoulder your best friend, to come along, bring all your grief and trade it for a song. |
