Feinstein's at the Nikko Celebrates Frank Sinatra FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kevin Kopjak | Charles Zukow Associates 415.296.0677 | [email protected] FEINSTEIN’S AT THE NIKKO CELEBRATES FRANK SINATRA ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY WITH HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRANK!, STARRING CELEBRATED JAZZ ARTIST JONATHAN PORETZ! ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY w Saturday, December 12 at 7 p.m. w SAN FRANCISCO (October 20, 2015) – On what would have been Frank Sinatra's actual 100th birthday, celebrated jazz artist Jonathan Poretz, who starred in the long-running Las Vegas production The Rat Pack is Back, makes his Feinstein's at the Nikko with Happy Birthday, Frank! Jonathan Poretz Salutes Sinatra at 100 for one performance only – Saturday, December 12 at 7 p.m. Backed by the seven-piece Fil Lorenz Orchestra, Jonathan will share wonderful stories about Ol' Blue Eyes and perform everyone's favorite songs from Sinatra's vast catalog of swingin' and croonin' masterpieces. Among the songs scheduled to be performed: "I've Got You Under My Skin," Where Or When," "All Or Nothing At All," "I've Got The World On A String," "The Summer Wind," "The Best Is Yet To Come," "My Way," New York, New York," "That's Life" and many more. Tickets for Jonathan Poretz range in price from $30 – $45 and are on-sale now and available by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com. Some say he was born with a microphone in his hand. That would explain why Pacific Coast Jazz artist Jonathan Poretz is so comfortable performing his brand of great American jazz standards to audiences large and small. Whether appearing in an intimate club or a large outdoor venue, Jonathan brings an electric energy to any stage he’s on, a talent he’s been cultivating since his early teens, when he sang professionally in bands that featured jazz greats including Charlie Shavers, Chuck Wayne and Joe Puma in his home town of New York City. Blending the swinging vocal stylings of Sinatra, Torme, Bennett and Darin, Jonathan is equally comfortable performing with a trio or a 17-piece big band, putting his own unique stamp on every song he sings and every story he tells through the great American standard songbook. Jonathan has toured the country as Frank Sinatra in The Rat Pack in Back and has headlined several of the Bay Area’s top nightclubs, including Yoshi’s Oakland and San Francisco and The Rrazz Room. He also wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed shows, A Swingin’ Night at the Sands, a big-band tribute to the musical icons of 1960s Las Vegas, and Vegas in the Valley, his salute to lounges of 1960s Vegas. He is also a regular vocalist with the Harold Jones Boss Men big band, led by legendary drummer Harold Jones, the beat behind Count Basie in the ‘70s and Sarah Vaughan in the ‘80s, and currently on tour with Tony Bennett. Most recently, Jonathan has been starring in his own show, Sex, Swagger & Swing: Sinatra and Darin in the Concert That Never Was, which is touring performing arts centers throughout the Bay Area.

    Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. HANK JONES NEA Jazz Master (1989) Interviewee: Hank Jones (July 31, 1918 – May 16, 2010) Interviewer: Bill Brower Date: November 26-27, 2004 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, pp. 134 Hank Jones: I was over there for about two and a half weeks doing a promotional tour. I had done a couple of CDs; one was with my brother Elvin and Richard Davis, the bass player. They made – – I think they made two releases from that date. And I did another date with Jack DeJohnette and John Patitucci. But, these two albums were the objects of the promotion. I mean, they promote very, very heavily everyday. I must have had 40 interviews and about 30 record signings at the record shops, plus all of the recording. We did seven concerts and people inevitably want the records, CDs of the concert for us to sign. I have a trio over there, with Jimmy Cobb and John Fink. It was called, “The Great Jazz Trio.” It was not my name, but the Japanese have special names for everything, you know? That's only one in a series of tree others which he called the great jazz trio. The first one was Ron Carter, Tony Williams and myself. But, there had been a succession of different changes in personnel. It changed about six times. The current one was Jimmy Cobb and Dave Fink--Oh, the cookies have arrived and not a minute too soon.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.
