JINNY
SAGORIN LAUNCHES HER DEBUT SOLO CD IT'S FOR YOU AT SCULLERS
On
Tuesday, February 1st, for one night only, acclaimed South African
singer and actress Jinny Sagorin launches her solo CD, It's For You,
at SCULLERS JAZZ CLUB (400 Soldiers Field Road, Allston, MA - 617-562-4111
- http://www.scullersjazz.com/
). Drawing on her extensive experience in the worlds of musical theatre,
folk and rock, the result is a CD that is uniquely her own. The show
features Doug Hammer on piano, Steve Chaggaris on percussion and surprise
guest performers. Admission is $18 ($16 BACA members) for show only;
$56 dinner/show package also available.
Hailed by the critics as vivacious and talented, Sagorin
recently moved to Boston from South Africa, and her show tells the
story of leaving home and finding home, both physically and spiritually.
It's For You showcases Sagorin's smooth rich voice and takes you on
a musical journey of change, nostalgia, love, and hilarious confusion
as she spans continents and cultures.
For her performance at Scullers, Sagorin will perform
songs that have played a meaningful part in her musical evolution
by composers such as Kurt Weill, Joni Mitchell, Noel Coward, Amanda
McBroom, Stephen Schwartz and Leonard Bernstein. Sagorin will also
include songs by South African writers, such as the moving and powerful
"Weeping," written in the 80s during the apartheid regime by Dan Heymann,
(now based in New York), of the Cape Town group Bright Blue."
Jinny's affinity for cabaret evolved from her background
in musical theatre on the national stage in South Africa. She has
also performed in major venues in her former home.
Ms. Sagorin is donating a portion of the proceeds of
the sale of every CD to the Partners AIDS Research Center at the Mass.
General Hospital. PARC is directly involved with helping fight AIDS
in Jinny's home town of Durban in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, which
has been hardest hit by the pandemic, through the Nelson Mandela Hospital
and McCords hospital in Durban, and is a cause close to her heart.
