Hard hats were not required for Saturday night’s 20th annual National Arts Centre Gala but NAC Foundation chief executiveJayne Watson pulled the look off when she came out on stage wearing one, just for fun.

“Welcome to the NAC, which, in case you didn’t know, stands for Neverending Annoying Construction,” she joked of the massive renovation that will transform Canada’s performing arts building by summer. “Next year it’s going to be New Awesome Centre.”
The gala concert featured Canadian jazz musician Diana Krall with the NAC Orchestra, led by maestro Alexander Shelley. Afterward, top gala sponsors enjoyed a gourmet meal together on the Southam Hall stage.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau continued the tradition of prime ministerial spouses serving in an honourary role. She appeared on stage in a floral-inspired beauty of a dress by Toronto-based fashion designer Lucian Matis. She announced the evening’s net total for the National Youth and Education Trust, in support of the NAC’s arts education programs across Canada. It ended up being $724,500, after more money was raised at the late-night live auction at dinner.

She spoke about her appreciation for the performing arts, and of growing up with music, culture, theatre and film.

“Want to hear me sing? Not tonight,” she knowingly quipped. She shared a cute story about wanting to play piano as a girl. Her parents – who were in attendance with her that night — did finally buy a piano, only to realize it wouldn’t fit through the door of their old home. “So, I played the flute,” she said, upbeat....


Also to take the stage was Victor Dodig, president and chief executive of presenting sponsor CIBC. He took a moment to remember the late Jim Prentice, former politician and vice-chairman of CIBC. Prentice, along with his wife Karen, was very supportive of the NAC Gala cause.


Seen that night were Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly, Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and such colleagues as Justice Suzanne Côté and Justice Michael Moldaver, Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna and Chief Government Whip Andrew Leslie, Treasury Board President Scott Brison, and Liberal Party of Canada president Anna Gainey. Attendees also included U.S. Ambassador Bruce Heyman and British High Commissioner Howard Drake.

Returning to chair the gala committee was Gary Zed.

Es la única cantante de jazz que puede presumir de tener ocho álbumes en la cima de las listas de Billboard Jazz Albums. Hasta ahora, sus discos han acumulado cinco Premios Grammy y ocho Premios Juno, así como nueve Discos de Oro, tres Discos de Platino y siete Discos Multi-Platino. Ha vendido más de seis millones de discos en USA y más de 15 millones en todo el mundo.



La carrera de Krall empieza en 1993, cuando la canadiense lanza de manera independiente su álbum debut Stepping Out. Sacó tres discos más hasta que en 1999 firmó con Verve el lanzamiento de su quinto álbum, When I look in your eyes, con el que ganó un Premio Grammy en la categoría de Mejor Vocalista Jazz.

En 2002, su nuevo disco The look of love se convirtió en #1bestseller en USA y cinco veces Disco de Platino en Canadá. Fue en 2004, con su álbum The girl in the other room, donde se centra en componer, con seis canciones co-escritas con su marido Elvis Costello.

Además, Diana Krall tiene una larga historia de conciertos y giras por todo el mundo, incluyendo actuaciones junto con artistas de la talla de Tony Bennett, Ray Charles y Elvis Costello.

En 2015, lanzó Wallflower, que vendió más de 600.000 unidades en sólo cuatro meses y en España se convirtió en número 1. Esta es una interpretación de algunas de los mayores clásicos pop desde los años 60 hasta hoy que ha superado con creces el disco de Oro.

Tommy LiPuma on his 80th to open Tri-C JazzFest - 23.06.2016

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Coming up with a way to pay homage to Cleveland producing legend Tommy LiPuma on the precipice of his 80th birthday could have given the folks at the 37th annual Tri-C JazzFest pause.

Could have. But didn't.

The best way to honor a man whose 50-plus years in the music business have produced 33 Grammy nominations and five wins is --“ no-brainer here --“ with music.

And man, what music, from fellow legends Dr. John, Al Jarreau, Leon Russell and the irrepressible Diana Krall. The notes that filled Playhouse Square's Connor Palace were as sweet as the memories for the man who actually began his career just a few hundred yards from this very stage.

Of course, those few yards were on the second floor of a Playhouse Square building . . . and that career was as a barber like his father. From such humble beginnings arose a man whose dreams of being a saxophonist segued into becoming one of the best and most prolific producers in music.

As host for "Tommy LiPuma's Big Birthday Bash,'' Christian McBride, a four-time Grammy winner, noted, LiPuma "went from cutting hair to cutting hit records.''

Cuyahoga Community College President Alex Johnson said it pretty well when he noted that Thursday night's celebration -- not unlike Wednesday's parade for the Cleveland Cavaliers -- was for one of the city's own, who just happens to belong to the world as well.

Even luminaries such as Herb Alpert and Lani Hall (with a horribly off-key and funny rendition of "Happy Birthday"), Barbra Streisand (with a Tommy LiPuma bobble head, complete with LiPuma's signature round eyeglasses), Sir Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Randy Newman, Elvis Costello and the late Dan Hicks joined the party, via videotaped message.

But it was the live music from Dr. John -- resplendent in a royal purple outfit and his trademark rhinestoned fedora --“ and the great Jarreau with his trademark vocal percussion, Russell and the sultry Krall that made the night.

Cleveland's own Dominick Farinacci, a Tri-C alum who recorded his album "Short Stories'' with LiPuma and Al Schmitt at Tri-C in 2015, also got into the act, performing "Tango'' off that album.

Hosted by McBride, the 2015 artist in residence for the Tri-C JazzFest, who chose the night to debut his own custom-made LiPuma specs, the evening evolved into a serenade to the man whose studio genius led to the sale of 75 million records worldwide.

Superbly backed by the Los Angeles-based Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, each artist performed four songs, including Russell doing his own "The Masquerade,'' which turned out to be the very first Grammy-winning tune, done with the great George Benson, save for show-ender Krall, who turned in a stunning multisong set that showcased her emotive alto and fingers that moved with hummingbird speed and lightness over the piano keys.

That's only fitting, since her partnership with LiPuma has resulted in an astounding 25 million records, one of the most commercially successful unions in jazz. And there's more to come, as Krall revealed that she and LiPuma will be pairing up again this fall for another album.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Dr. John and Russell and Grammy winner Jarreau all had to use canes to make it to the stage, but their music showed the whimsy, art and love that LiPuma and his longtime engineer partner, Schmitt, were able capture so well and so often.

"It's been a long trip, thank you for coming and . . . I love you all,'' an emotional LiPuma told the crowd.

And the feeling was mutual. That was clear as organizers presented him with a massive cake and they --“ we --“ serenaded him with our own chorus of "Happy Birthday.''
