Sunday Night with Tammy McCann

October 28, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$10

Tammy McCann singing by Nick CarterSpend Sunday night, October 28th, with one of the great jazz singers: The incomparable Tammy McCann returns to Roscoe’s Room at Alvin & Friends for one night only. Classically trained, Chicago-based jazz singer Tammy McCann has been praised for owning one of the most luxuriant voices in jazz, with a “remarkable range of color, texture, tone and nuance” (HowardCann Reich, Chicago Tribune). “She’s got the vocal apparatus of a Rolls-Royce,” observes Francis Kiernan, executive director of the Nelson Riddle Foundation. A student of the legendary music teacher Dr. Lena McLin, McCann began her career singing opera – including the lead in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. At Virginia Union University, however, Tammy began a new musical journey, exploring jazz; back in Chicago in the late ‘80s she collaborated with local jazz musicians and grew as a vocalist; she toured Europe in the early ‘90s, recording jazz and gospel CDs before auditioning for the late, great Ray Charles. Her sumptuous voice earned her a coveted spot as a Raelette and she toured Europe with the iconic singer and pianist from 2000 to 2002. Back in the U.S. McCann has continued to record and perform.  Two sets, 6 pm and 7:45 pm. Cover charge $10.
