Theater review:The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith

August 11, 2011

My father took my to see "The Devil's Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith. It was at the St. Luke's Theater. Midtown, West. What a wonderful show! Aaron Graves (Jazz pianist) was in the show. Miche Braden was fantastic in the role of Bessie Smith! She has a gorgeous voice and great control over her instrument. She was beautiful, funny, believable. Miche Braden plays Bessie Smith, NYC. This photo and more from:http://blogcritics.org/culture/article/theater-review-nyc-the-devils-music/#comments.Photos by John Quilty. Bessie Smith..."St. Louis Blues". Gone, but never forgotten! It was a one act, which was cool. 90 minutes long, the time flew. Not a boring moment. So much great music from 4 musicians on stage! See this musical if you can. Also at the same theater, a musical on Fanny Brice and one on Danny Kay (through the voice of his wife(?)) For more info on the above mentioned shows, please check out the link below..

Susan Kramer: I began studying at Jazz mobile in Harlem at age 19. Under the direction of Dr. Billy Taylor, I had the honor of performing with a group put together by John Hendricks. At that time, I also studied directly under Richard Harper, Carline Ray, and Ron Carter. Shortly thereafter, I began to study with Jazz Master Barry Harris, who was (and continues to be) one of the greatest influences on my musical career. Since my years at Jazz Mobile, I have worked as a professional Jazz vocalist in Italy, Switzerland, and the U.S. In 2005, I had the honor of singing with Wynton Marsalis at The House of Tribes. That concert subsequently won the Grammy Award for best Jazz album the following year. I have worked with many other Jazz greats, such as Isaac Ben Ayala, Omar Hakim, Essiet Essiet, Nikki Morero, Charles Eubanks, Burt Eckoff, Bob Cunningham. I've also been involved in musical theater and recieved critical acclaim from Allaboutjazz Magazine for my role as “The Wife” in Jeff Loomis's Jazz operetta, entitled “Boperetta”. Creativity, improvisation, and beauty are at the heart of my approach to music.
