Elaine Dame: Something to Live For: The Strayhorn/Ellington Collaboration

Jazz Vocalist Elaine Dame celebrates the collaboration of two of Americas most innovative and exciting jazz icons.

Elaine Dame sings - and people stop and listen. Since 1996, the woman Time Out Chicago calls a jazz dynamo" and "a gem in the city's vocal jazz scene" has been turning heads and capturing attention at venerable jazz venues from coast to coast, bringing her unique, superlative interpretations to vintage vocal classics and modern standards alike.
Neil Tesser, Grammy award-winning jazz critic and author of The Playboy Guide to Jazz said, "Dame has risen to the top ranks of Chicago jazz singers. She possesses all the musicality you could want in a true jazz vocalist: centered intonation, an enviable command of rhythm and a translucent but powerful instrument.

Joining Elaine Dame will be:
Ed Paolantonio - piano
Paul Creel - bass
Dan Davis - drums
Special Guest Vocalist: Angela Bingham
