Saxophonist/flautist Carol Sudhalter, one of New York’s premiere woodwind doublers, takes the stage at Astoria's historic Steinway Reformed Church on Sunday, November 22 at 6 pm leading a 6-piece ensemble in an evening of music composed by women of the New York Women Composers, Inc. Included will be some world Premieres. Composers will include these prominent figures: Julie Mandel, Beata Moon, Faye-Ellen Silverman, Melanie Mitrano and Sabrina Pena Young.

 

   Scintillating, invigorating performances are expected by this very accomplished ensemble: Carol Sudhalter, flute;  Markus Kaitila, piano; Shawn Lovato, bass; Sylvia Cuenca, drums; vocalist Marti Mabin and Surprise Guest Flutist!

 

      In the more than three decades since her move to New York, Sudhalter has founded the Astoria Big Band, the Astoria Jazz Band, a series of House Concerts, and several Concert Series in Astoria including the 2000 first-ever Waterfront Jazz Series. Sudhalter is committed to spreading music to residents of Western Queens who otherwise might not have the exposure.

New CD, Carol Sudhalter: The Octave Tunes

This brand new CD, “Carol Sudhalter: The Octave Tunes“, (Alfa Music,Rome), features thirteen great tunes (both standards and originals) all of which begin on the interval of an octave. Two of them are familiar Christmas songs,

1. Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
2. The Christmas Song (“Chestnuts Roasting...”)

This link should bring you to all the specific information about the tunes: the song titles, composers, and the artists who play with me on them. Among these brilliant musicians are Vito Di Modugno, Hammond Organist from Bari; masterful pianist Carlo Barile, only 18 at the time of the recording, already an accomplished classical organist. Two wonderful vocalists, Elena Camerin and Marti Mabin. This link should bring you to a page where you can see the CD label image and hear some samples [Crazy He Calls Me, Alice in Wonderland, and Let It Snow]. Wait a few seconds for the page to load, and see samples on right hand side. When Alice in Wonderland and Let It Snow begin to play, you will see the CD label design.

Below is an order form. You can print it out, and send back with check; or make a paypal payment to Carol Sudhalter (sudsax@aol.com), and send me an email telling me you did so, along with mailing address information.

Cost of the CD is $20.00: this includes shipping and handling, as well as my expense to ship them from Rome. If you come to Iridium at 8 or 10 p.m. to hear my big band on January 5 or Saint Peter’s Church’s Midtown Jazz at Midday on December 30 at 1 pm, CD price is $15. Anyone ordering two or more will receive a further discount. [And I just discovered that substantial discounts for entry to Iridium are are available at http://www.goldstar.com/
