LA JOLLA MUSIC SOCIETY PRESENTS JAZZ MASTER JAMES MOODY, SATURDAY AT 8PM

The NEA Jazz Master forged a lifelong friendship with Dizzy Gillespie after joining his band in 1946, and later went on to achieve great success as a world-class soloist showcasing his improvisational genius and serenading audiences with his hit song, "Moody's Mood for Love."

Orange Flower Water
6th @ Penn Theatre (Hillcrest)
This intense and intimate drama directed by Jerry Pilato (VISITING MR. GREEN, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) is "not about amoral sexual perversity in the LaBute or Mamet mold. It's a view of marriage as a vise grip in which the best one can hope for is some velvet handcuffs. It's also a brutally honest drama about marriage and infidelity and watching is raw and painfully graphic. ORANGE FLOWER WATER contains adult situations and some nudity. Do not be deceived by the lyrical, gently perfumed title of the play." (Chicago Tribune)
Friday 8:00pm - $13.50 Available Now
tick, tick...BOOM!
Stone Soup Theatre Company
at Lab at Academy of Performing Arts (Mission Valley)
Before the revolutionary rock musical RENT, Jonathan Larson had another story to tell...his own. This is the critically-acclaimed autobiographical pop rock musical by this Pulitzer prize-winning composer. After his sudden death in 1996, Larson's one-man musical tale of a young composer on the brink of turning 30 and worried about falling into oblivion was re-shaped by Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright David Auburn into its current award-winning form. Time Magazine exclaims that "tick, tick...BOOM!" is "better than "The Producers"" and the Associated Press hails "This is musical theatre writing at its most inventive."

This show includes entree choices. See www.mysterycafe.net for details.

For over six decades, saxophone master and San Diegan James Moody has serenaded listeners with his signature song "Moody's Mood for Love."

Moody continues to surprise audiences with his vitality, innovative playing style and his great sense of humor. In this performance, Moody will be performing with pianist Bill Cunliff, drummer Gregg Field, bassist Tony Dumas and special guest, jazz vocalist Roberta Gambini. The concert-going experience is enhanced by "Preludes" - pre-concert chats and performances - prior to each performance, free to ticket-holders. Claudia Russell, of KSDS Jazz 88.3, gives a pre-concert talk at 7 pm.
