Tri-State Jazz Society presents the world-acclaimed singer and bandleader Banu Gibson, on tour direct from New Orleans, in a rare northeastern United States performance on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. at Haddonfield United Methodist Church, 29 Warwick Road.
Gibson is one of the few vocalists of her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s. Rather than mimic singers of the past, she mixes fresh renditions of Tin Pan Alley standards and jazz classics by Gershwin, Ellington, Berlin, Carmichael, Waller, Porter, and more. She will be performing with an all-star band drawn from New York City and Washington, D.C.
Half-price admission of $10, payable at the door, is available for first-time attendees and members; general admission is $20; full-time students with IDs and children are free.
There are no advance sales or reservations. The church is about 15 minutes from central Philadelphia via the Ben Franklin Bridge and parking is free. PATCO is nearby. For information see www.tristatejazz.org or call (856) 720–0232.
