I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet Irving Berlin

If you love music and you desire to sing, this Easter Sunday Open Mic Jazz Brunch is a dream come true. Set in Pangea,s salon-like cabaret room with a Baldwin Baby Grand nestled in the corner, it's hard not to feel the room's Dorothy Parker charm and warm embracing energy. This, coupled with the accomplished duo of Iris Ornig, on bass and David Pearl, on piano , make this a Sunday afternoon that you wont want to miss! This week's guest singers are: Kate Draper and Miron Lockett, both NYC stalwarts!

Richie Williams, Host is a contagiously funny, Poet, Singer, Jazz Historian and Raconteur who seems to carry the entire American Songbook in his hip pocket and is often referred to as "The downtown Bobby Short". Richie's voice and style echo the mellow tones of both, Nat and his brother Freddie Cole. This, coupled with his charismatic charm, funny-bone good humor and off the cuff style, serve up a fun filled and edgy performance that leaves The Song Book Smiling!

Richie has performed at numerous venues beginning his career at Barry Harris', legendary Jazz Culture Theatre. He has also performed at many venues in Manhattan including, The Triad, Don't Tell Mama and St. Peters (The Jazz Church).
