Thu, Feb 22✨Jazzville presents a tribute to the sublime yet controversial 1962 jazz album, Love Is a Drag. The record was admired by Bob Hope, Liberace, and Frank Sinatra (who gave away copies as gifts to many friends). We presented this show last year and it was an instant hit. Once again we have the very best band to do this show in the same spirit that the album ensconces: The Adam Hersh Quartet and the brilliant vocalist Mark Kopitzke from Phat Cat Sw***er fame. Seats $15 to $65 here: https://www.JazzvillePalmSprings.com

But why was the Love Is a Drag album controversial? Why did the album not reveal the singer and musicians. Why did the cover proclaim: For Adult Listeners Only, and why did record stores keep it under the counter? Read on to find out...

The album features a sincere crooner (a warm baritone in the style of Dick Haymes) interpreting jazz standards previously recorded only by women: My Man, The Man I Love, Mad About the Boy and nine similar tracks. How brave for a male signer to record these songs and do them so cooly without a hint of camp.

And remember, this was 1962. The word drag was code for gay, yet everyone connected with the project was straight; the singer, the band, the producers... all straight. Quoting an article in JazzTimes, "How the record ever happened still constitutes one of the unlikeliest tales in jazz."

50 years later we now know that the signer was Gene Howard, a 1940s vocalist with the Stan Kenton band. The players on the album were LA's top session guys including Al Viola, the longtime guitarist for Frank Sinatra.

All of the wonderfully torchy songs from the album will be performed live, and to round out the evening our stellar band will play a fine selection of up-tempo jazz and swing. Please take a seat for this rare chance to hear the album performed live.

Jazzville at the Cascade Lounge is in a plush, NON-SMOKING clubroom with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, clear sight lines, and a respectful listening audience. As ever, your friends at Jazzville along with all of the musicians, singers and variety artists we line up for you are truly grateful for your unending support. Thank you!

This Thu, Feb 8, Angel Ferreira & his Mambokat Quintet hit the refresh button on elegant mid-century mambo music from the days of the legendary Chi-Chi clubs. Seats $15 to $65 here: https://www.JazzvillePalmSprings.com
