Happy New Year from Billy Childs
featuring a re-imagining of Laura Nyro’s music,
“New Year’s Eve at Vitello’s will feature the three -time Grammy winner Billy Childs Electric Quartet, joined by vocalist, Moira Smiley. The ensemble will be: Billy Childs – piano/keyboard, Moira Smiley – vocals, Katisse Buckingham – sax/flute, Carlitos Del Puerto – bass, and Joey Heredia – drums
We will be playing material from my electric band repertoire – high energy, accessible music which is an amalgam of jazz, fusion, and Brazilian music.
Also, we will be doing a lot of the music of Laura Nyro, with Moira Smiley singing. I will be releasing a CD around the middle of next year, on Sony Masterworks, which will be a re-imagining of Laura Nyro’s music; on the CD, I will be joined by, among others: Renee Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, Dianne Reeves, Shawn Colvin, Chris Botti, and Esperanza Spalding. The New Year’s Eve gig at Vitello’s will be an exciting preview of the music that will be on that recording.
Happy New Year – come party! “…Billy Childs
The pianist and composer is a winner of three Grammy Awards and tours the world leading a chamber ensemble which combines his jazz and classical experience. But the Los-Angeles-based pianistw will ring in the New Year with good friends in his hometown.
Thus far, in his career, Childs has garnered ten Grammy nominations and three Grammy awards: two for best instrumental composition (Into the Light from Lyric and The Path Among The Trees from Autumn: In Moving Pictures) and one for best arrangement accompanying a vocalist. Most recently in 2013, Childs was awarded the prestigious Doris Duke Performing Artist Award. In 2009, Childs was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2006 was awarded a Chamber Music America composer’s grant.
As a pianist Childs has recently performed with, among others, Yo-Yo Ma, Sting, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Detroit Symphony, the Kronos Quartet, Wynton Marsalis, Jack DeJohnette, Ron Carter, the Ying String Quartet, the American Brass Quintet, and Chris Botti. In January 2010, The Detroit Symphony (Leonard Slatkin conducting) premiered Childs’ Concerto For Violin And Orchestra with Regina Carter as soloist. Upcoming projects include a new piece for Duke University composed for his Jazz/Chamber Ensemble featuring Dianne Reeves and the Ying Quartet and a recording for Sony Masterworks: a re-imagining of the music of Laura Nyro.
