.. “He can do anything I can do.” Jon Hendricks (Charlie Rose show) .. “He’s the singer’s singer,” Hank Jones ..“Incredibly smooth and gorgeous baritone voice” Frank Scheck, N.Y. Post ..“He’s a bad MF,” Harry Connick Jr. ..Jazz singer Marion Cowings is a native New Yorker. His smooth baritone voice and considerable range has been delighting audiences around the world for decades. Mentored by the legendary Jon Hendricks, Marion is a master of scat and vocal technique. He has appeared at the Blue Note, Village Vanguard, and Lincoln Center as well as many prestigious venues abroad. Marion grew up in the South Bronx where his father was a merchant and his mother taught public school. He attended Music and Art (now LaGuardia High School), where he was chosen to perform as a solo vocalist with the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein. In the same year, at the age of fifteen, he discovered the bebop group Lambert, Hendricks and Ross. While still in high school, his classmate Eddie Gomez (now a formidable bassist and Bill Evans collaborator) played with Jon Hendricks and spoke highly of Marion. Jon called Marion and said “I hear you’re doing my stuff…. meet me outside Birdland and we’ll talk.” Soon afterward Jon set up Marion’s first professional engagement at the Randall’s Island Jazz Festival with “Little Pony” Poindextor and the Ike Issac’s Trio. He also began to understudy Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, and eventually became Dave Lamberts original replacement. In 1984 after leading rhythm & blues and rock bands, Marion teamed up with jazz vocalist Kim Kalesti. Kim and Marion headlined the Berlin Jazz Festival and the Blue Notes in New York and Japan. They starred in Lincoln Center’s Meet the Artist and performed hundreds of concerts through the auspices of the Young Audiences in New York City public schools. In addition to recording two albums on the Emarcy Label, they have played with many musicians including Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, Gary Bartz, Bobby Watson, Ron Carter, Howard Johnson, and the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra (now known as Village Vanguard Orchestra). Together they founded the Vocal Jazz Department at New York University and were adjunct professors for eleven years. Marion’s off-Broadway credits include Forever Swing and Bebop. He was a lead in “Queenie Pie,” a Duke Ellington Opera directed by Mercer Ellington at Lincoln Center. Recently, Marion headlined the Harry Warren Lyrics and Lyricists Program at the 92nd Street Y alongside Margaret Whiting and Marie Cleere Haran. He was also a lead in the hundredth anniversary tribute to Count Basie and Glenn Miller at the Lucille Lortel Theater, both directed by Mercedes Ellington. Involved in commercials, voiceovers and jingles, Marion received the advertising industry’s Clio Award with one of his mentors, Hal Schaefer. He is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant and a published lyricist with Quincy Jones, Wayne Shorter, Frank Foster, and Sonny Rollins. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Image Hosting.. - ..Comments.... .. ............Myspace Layouts.. - ..Image Hosting.. - ..Forums.... -

soundclick.com/falabeats - THE UMANO ORCHESTRA2 年前Hello Marion,Thanks so much for the Add–and your friendship. We enjoyed your music very much. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. It's a pleasure having you among our friends! We've added two blogs about Umano, plus four more new compositions, making ten on our page. We hope you and your friends visit us and enjoy our music, too. We wake up every morning and play the music of the new MySpace friends who have arrived at our site during the night. It occurred to us that these friends (you are among them) are almost universally positive, whether they be novices or legends, and without regard to their station in life or the country they occupy. Although it's not an original thought, it also occurred to us that we couldn’t hold a verbal conversation with most of these friends, but we have bridged that gap by expressing our art honestly with each other. We all have been filling the world with our music and art, in the hope that our messages of love and human understanding will have an impact on the world at large. What a gift and what an opportunity we have received from this technology!♫♫♫ Thom & Lorry Gambino ♫♫♫New York, New York
