Sunday Jazz Corner With Chaka Khan

Sunday Jazz Corner With Chaka Khan

This week we feature Chaka Khan in our Sunday Jazz Corner video.  Chaka is the one and only champion of voice.  Though many have tried to come close to her God given talent, she remains untouchable.  Here is a video of Chaka Khan singing “The End Of A Love Affair” (LIVE) February 9, 2009.  There is no other living singer quite like her whether it be, funk, jazz, soul, blues, dance, pop or rock she surpasses anyone in her path.  Hope you enjoy this flawless version of the Billie Holiday classic “The End Of A Love Affair.”

Historic Harlem Landmark to Shut Down

Historic Harlem Landmark to Shut DownLegendary Jazz Landmark Lenox Lounge will shut its doors forever New Year’s Eve, says longtime owner Alvin Reed.  The cool Art Deco cabaret has been open since 1942 and has hosted a Who’s Who of  musical icons such as Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Billie Holiday.

Reed who’s owned the bar since 1988, says the exceedingly high rent –$20,000, double what he has been paying–has forced him to give up the lease.

Richard Notar, a managing partner at Nobu Restaurants is set to take over the space after the new year. Notar told The New York Times he hopes to keep the bar as “an old watering hole” with live music, but it’s unclear if he will work out a deal with Reed  to continue using the Lenox Lounge name.
