THIS SUNDAY WILL BE ANOTHER GREAT MUSICAL EVENING!

"Sultry Songs For A Summer Evening: A Good Song Tells A Story!"

Sunday 11 July at 19h00. In the Latin Quarter. m° St Michel (Details with reservation)

Our Special Guest will be:

CONNIE FREDERICKS MALONE

Vocalist

In the states, Connie spent 20 years performing in musical theatre,
day-time and prime-time television, commercials and cabaret/night club
venues. Her first love is singing, and she possesses a powerful four
octave range. A versatile performer, Connie sings gospel, jazz standards

and r&b soul favorites. She especially loves the intimacy of the cabaret
club performance setting. It was in the cabaret rooms of Manhattan where
she honed her nightclub performance skills and settled on a repertoire of
songs that has remained close to her heart.
Connie feels this way about her material:

“A good song tells a story. The story must resonate in the heart and soul.

As an actress I am attracted to the drama in a song. The arrangement and
melody may draw my attention to a particular work, but it is the lyrics,
the story, that compel me to sing it. ”

Currently, Connie and her husband, Jim, reside in the
Finger Lakes region of New York State where she performs frequently.

Hope to see you then! Patricia

Our Guest of Honor:

Mark Morrison-Reed

Author. Lecturer

In the 60s while marches, school desegregation and sit-ins spread across America a skinny black kid from Chicago arrived in Paris and at first thought he had died and gone to heaven. It was not quite that good. Morrison-Reed talks about watching the Civil Rights Movement from afar and what has changed since then.

(Background: Before Paris. When in 1962 Mark Morrison-Reed, a 13-year-old black kid from South Side Chicago, moved to Switzerland with his family he said “It felt like we were integrating the whole country.” That is when he had to learn to live “in between.” President Obama, given his mixed heritage, playfully referred to himself as a mutt. He, too, had to learned to live in between – cultures, races, ...)

"FRANK SINATRA AND THE RAT PACK IN LAS VEGAS " And Stories Of Other Entertainers In Las Vegas (Including Marilyn Monroe)

*(The Rat Pack: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr , Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford)

Former Casino boss Ed Walters originally answered emails about Frank Sinatra on The Frank Sinatra Mailing List (known as the Temple list). These stories were called The Pit Boss Replies, because they were in direct response to questions someone from The Temple List would ask Ed. Many found it fascinating to hear first-hand how Sinatra and his friends really behaved at The Sands. New The Pit Boss Replies stories appear to this day on The Temple List and on The Voice Mailing List (an invitation-only group).

Author Tom Rendour asked Ed if he could share these stories with cyber fans via his Songs By Sinatra website: www.songsbysinatra.com. Ed agreed, and now they are there for everyone to enjoy.

The bulk of these Stories From Vegas are as they appeared originally on The Sinatra Mailing List

Stories you have never heard before that will give you a better understanding of what made Sinatra tick

Please visit: www.songsbysinatra.com

And we hope that Ed will share how he became the model for "Fast Eddie" (Film: "The Hustler" 1961. Paul Newman's role).- Patricia

NOTE: ( The Rat Pack is the nickname given to a group of popular entertainers most active between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s. Its most famous line-up featured Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, who appeared together in films and on stage in the early-1960s. Despite its reputation as a masculine group, the Rat Pack did have female participants, including movie icons Shirley MacLaine, Lauren Bacall, Angie Dickinson, Marilyn Monroe, and Judy Garland.

Our Guest Of Honor

MILES MARSHALL LEWIS

Writer, Editor, Expatriate, Bohemian B-Boy www.furthermucker.com

Miles was born in The Bronx, New York, at the beginning of hip hop culture in the early 1970s. He expatriated from the United States to Paris, France during 2004 in response to the Iraq War. His debut essay collection, "Scars of the Soul Are Why Kids Wear Bandages When They Don't Have Bruises" (2004) – a book described as “an observant and urbane B-boy’s rites of passage” – established him as a prose stylist observing American culture in a style directly influenced by Joan Didion, mixing personal reflection with social analysis and humor.

Miles’s second book, "There’s a Riot Goin’ On" (2006), deals with the making of the seminal 1971 album of the same name by Sly and the Family Stone, and the death of the 1960s counterculture. Lewis is the founder and editor of the literary journal Bronx Biannual. He and his French wife Christine Herelle-Lewis live together in France raising their sons, Lucas and Kalel

In 2007, Miles launched Furthermucker.com, where he blogs regularly about the arts, pop culture, hip-hop culture, and his experiences as a black American expatriate in 21st-century Paris.

Our Guest Of Honor

GEORGES VAL

Artist. Diplomat

Georges Val lived in Nigeria for 13 years where, in addition to being an artist, he was a member of the Board of the Nigerian Museum Society. He travelled across the country under the sponsorship of Nigerian Museums. His large dimension paintings, hand lacquered, show the flamboyant African ceremonies and and festivals that he visited.

Nigeria has 150 million inhabitants, and is the most populated country in Africa. (1 African in 5 is Nigerian). In Nigeria, there are 250 different ethnic groups and languages. Within the same culture, there are Animalists, Christians and Moslems. It's a rich cultural mosaic.

Nigerian Museums as well as the British press consider George's work to be unique. His first exhibition in London was featured on the front page of "West Africa", West Africa's largest English language magazine. He has had exhibitions at UNESCO and his work often figures in the press about Nigeria.

Many Afircan-Americans like myself, have roots in Nigeria. I once saw a video of an inauguration ceremony involving the family of a friend, a Nigerian Princess, which I found spellbinding. It will be fascinating to learn more about that culture!

Surprise music!

Our Guest Of Honor

YVES LE GOFF

Singer. Songwriter

HOMAGE TO ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM (TOM JOBIM) A FATHER OF BOSSA NOVA AND MODERN BRASILIAN MUSIC


Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim

Guitarist and vocalist YVES LE Goff will interpret the songs of Antonio Carlos Jobim, a founder of BOSSA NOVA who launched such international stars as Astrud Gilberto.

Yves, who plays guitar and sings, dedicates his musical life to Jobim. It’s a passion that just happened. He can’t explain it. He says that some musicians dedicate themselves to Bach or Mozart and he dedicates himself to Jobim.

When I first spoke with Yves about Jobim, I confessed that I didn’t know anything about him. Then I googled and I found the story of an amazingly talented songwriter and vocalist who wrote songs for “Orfeo Negro” (“Black Orpheus”- including “Someone To Light Up My Life”), collaborated with Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto on one of the best selling jazz albums of all time, “Getz/Gilberto” and who wrote songs that launched the Bossa Nova movement/style: “The Girl From Ipanema” and “Corcovado”. These songs made Astrud Gilberto an international sensation and “The Girl from Ipanema” was record of the year in 1964. They endured. (Grammy awards). We all still sing them.

I looked at photos which show a strikingly handsome young man and a gorgeously cute older whom you can't help but adore.

Jobim's musical roots were planted firmly in the work of Pixinguinha, the legendary musician and composer who began modern Brazilian music in the 1930s. Among his teachers were Lúcia Branco, and, from 1941 on, Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. Jobim was also influenced by the French composers Claude Debussy and Ravel, and by jazz. Among many themes, his lyrics talked about love, self discovery, betrayal, joy and especially about the birds and natural wonders of Brazil, like the "Mata Atlântica" forest, characters of Brazilian folklore like Matita Pereira (Saci Pererê), and his home city of Rio de Janeiro (His childhood neighborhood was Ipanema). His family, of French origin, immigrated to Brazil in the18th century.

There are many sites. I liked www.jobim.com.br

Our Guest of Honor:

Adrian Leeds

Writer, Author, Editor, Publisher, French Property Consultant, Conference Coordinator and Lecturer, Language and Lifestyle Expert

Learn the secrets of success living prosperously in France from a self-made entrepreneurial American woman who started with (literally) nothing and in only a few years, not only built a successful business, but a happy and enriched life, as well, in the city she loves most -- Paris. Long-time American in Paris, Adrian Leeds, tells the story of how she went from the bottom to the top with nothing but a few ideas, hard work and the willingness to take risks...and how anyone can do it...all with simply the right attitude.

Multi-faceted and multi-talented, Leeds is a natural communicator, networker and resourcer. Anything you need to know about Paris and France, anyone you want to know, she either knows it or knows where to find it. If you're considering moving to France, interested in investing in France, building a business based on electronic commerce of products or services marketed to lovers of France who speak English, her expertise is a valuable resource.
