JAMN JAZZ UPDATE FROM WOODY: Nancy Gee & The John Shea Trio

November 25, 2007 at 3:03 pm (Uncategorized)

Here is the descrption of tomorrow’s engagement, from the Usual Suspects:

Nancy Gee & The John Shea Trio

If you missed Nancy’s two appearances at Monti’s Back Door this year, here’s your chance to catch her show. She has packed the house for us twice and gave truly inspiring performances each time. Nancy has been singing for jazz crowds in Phoenix for nearly 25 years. Known as one of the Valley’s Four Divas of Jazz, Nancy has been voted Female Vocalist of the Year by the Arizona Jazz Society, Jazz in AZ and the Phoenix Federation of Musicians. She produced and marketed her first recording, Velvet, in 1990 and CDs Nancy In The Key of Gee in 1996, followed by Dedications in 2003. The combination of her soulful, velvety voice, sparkling personality and an ability to capture and move audiences is why she remains one of the Valley’s top headliner jazz vocalists. Nancy routinely sells out concerts at the Kerr Cultural Center and we are honored to have her at the Back Door. Please come out and celebrate not only Nancy’s return engagement for us, but her 50th wedding anniversary to husband, Bill General. She’s also celebrating a milestone birthday this month, but we’ll let her tell you about that.

Monti’s Back Door is located at 100 S. Mill Avenue (in the back of the building), Tempe, AZ 85283. Shows begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 8 p.m. Cover charge is only $5 and drink specials and complimentary appetizers are available, along with a light dinner menu. Please call 480.345.2392 for more information on upcoming events.

Live jazz on Mill Avenue is alive and well at Monti’s Back Door!
