MUSIC LISTINGS (See our Clubs Section Too):

Anders Holst Shares Summer Love
Thursday July 2nd. 8:30 pm.
Feinstein’s at the Loews Regency Hotel

Seductive, lush and emotive, the music of Anders Holst has drawn accolades from fellow musicians such as Quincy Jones, and has earned him such critical kudos as "Anders Holst is a regal contender to become the new crowned prince of contemporary romantic music..." (Billboard magazine) and "The Sting of Stockholm is back and this time he's singing about love. Holst sings like a man comfortable in his own skin." (All About Jazz)
On July 2, the Swedish-born, New York City-based Holst will return for a single night's engagement at Feinstein's at Loews Regency, where he will perform selections from his recent release, Romantika, his 2006 EP, Five, as well as smooth and jazzy interpretations of some well-loved classic tunes.

Tickets for the July 2 show are available on the Feinstein's website or by calling 212-339-4095.

Fisher Center for the Performing Arts on Bard College’s stunning Hudson River campus. Three additional performances are on July 10 and 11, also at 8 pm, and on Sunday, July 12 at 3 pm.

In 30 years as a bandleader, Vince Giordano has become the authority on recreating the sounds of 1920s and '30s jazz and popular music. "I just love the energy of the early jazz," says Giordano, 56. "I wanted to recapture some of that." Early appearances with Leon Redbone and on the Prairie Home Companion and lending his talents to Francis Ford Coppola's film The Cotton Club, led to working with Dick Hyman's Orchestra in half a dozen Woody Allen soundtracks then as a bass player in Sean Penn's band in Woody's Sweet and Lowdown. He and band were featured in Gus Van Sant's film Finding Forrester, in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator, Robert DeNiro's film, The Good Shepherd, Tamara Jenkin's The Savages and recently Vince has been working with Sam Mendes' upcoming films: Revolutionary Road due in December, Farlanders due in 2009; and Michael Mann's film Public Enemies. Also a big-band historian and collector, Giordano has more than 32,000 scores in his collection. In addition to playing the string bass, Giordano is a multi-instrumentalist on tuba, bass saxophone, banjo, rhythm guitar, piano and drums. Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks are renowned on the New York scene for their commitment to preserving and authentically presenting 1920s jazz and popular music. See Vince and the Nighthawks:
