JAZZ VOCALIST Tierney Sutton MAKES Cafe Carlyle DEBUT, MARCH 19-23

Revered jazz vocalist Tierney Sutton makes her Café Carlyle debut, March 19-23. An 8-time Grammy nominee over the course of her esteemed career, Sutton has received seven consecutive nominations for Best Jazz Vocal Album - one for every project she has released over the last decade. In 2013 she released After Blue, a jazz-inspired re-imagining of the legacy of Joni Mitchell. The album received widespread acclaim and was Sutton's breakout as a leader without her longtime band [the Tierney Sutton Band]. In 2016 she released The String Variations, with the Tierney Sutton Band. The New York Times has said "Ms. Sutton is a pure jazz spirit who respects a song. Even when going out on an improvisatory limb, she never lets its essence slip away" and that she is "a serious jazz artist who takes the whole enterprise to another level."

As Poindexter, his previous engagements have been sellouts and he has become one of the most revered artists to grace Café Carlyle. Stephen Holden of The New York Times: "Buster Poindexter aims dead center at a novelty tradition that traverses musical styles and eras and embraces blues, jazz, doo-wop, rumba and calypso. He rang the bell every time."
