My favorite singer is coming to town and I'm putting out the word on all my meetups. No one I've heard in the last few years delivers a song more beautifully than Luba Mason, whom some of us last heard at Yoshi's in October when she was "simply irresistible." In this show, her new CD release tour, Ms. Mason heads south of the border to Brazil
Accompanying Luba on this tour will be a killer latin band including her husband Ruben Bladés, bassists Jimmy Haslip (Yellowjackets) and Michael O’Brien, Russell Ferrante (Yellowjackets) and Dario Eskenazi (Paquito D’Rivera) on piano, Marco Costa, on drums and Sandro Albert on guitar. The show will feature music from the recently released KRAZY LOVE, a rich musical travelogue that explores the arc of modern day relationships and infuses them with Luba’s love for the music of Brazil, Krazy Love continues the critically-acclaimed Mason’s foray into the realm of contemporary crossover jazz vocals
“A powerfully emotional song interpreter (All Music Guide), Mason is blessed with “A celestial voice” (Los Angeles Times) and genuine incandescence that draws unsolicited attraction when she enters a room. It’s not simply the tall blonde’s Slovak beauty, but her electrifying musical blending of Latin and Jazz rhythms mixed with the raw emotionality of folk and pop.
Luba has starred on Broadway in the hit musical Chicago as Velma Kelly (opposite Brooke Shields), as well as the starring role in Jekyll & Hyde, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (opposite Matthew Broderick), Paul Simon’s The Capeman (opposite Marc Anthony), Trevor Nunn’s Sunset Boulevard and the Tony-winning The Will Rogers Follies, directed by Tommy Tune.
