Gypsy guitarist plays The Oasis Room
NEW LONDON, CT — Juno Award-winning guitarist Jesse Cook,will play the Garde’s Oasis Room on April 2 at 8 p.m.
Co-presented with Kitchings Productions, Jesse Cook and his quartet will perform their unique world music blend of jazz, gypsy and Latin sounds. The Oasis Room, located across from the Garde Theater mezzanine, is being refurbished as an intimate 120-seat theater for music, comedy and theater.
Cook’s passion for musical exploration and fusion is captured in six critically acclaimed studio albums. In addition to headlining concerts and festivals, he has opened for such legends as B.B. King, Ray Charles and Diana Krall. He has performed with British soprano Charlotte Church on the "Tonight Show" and toured with legendary Irish band "The Chieftains."
In 2001, Cook won his first Juno Award in the Best Instrumental Album category for “Free Fall.” Most recently he has been nominated for two 2008 Juno awards, for his 2007 release “Frontiers” (World Music Album of the Year) and for the incredible DVD “One Night at the Metropolis” (Music DVD of the Year) which captures a spectacular concert during the 2006 Montreal Jazz Festival.
Born in Paris in 1964, guitarist Jesse Cook grew up in southern France where he spent many summers, wandering the streets among the Gypsies who inhabit the area, soaking up the atmosphere and listening to the likes of Nicolas Reyes, lead singer of the flamenco group “Gipsy Kings,” who just happened to live next door.
Cook first picked up a toy guitar at the age of 3 to mimic the sounds of Gypsy guitar legend Manitas de Plata. He later moved to Toronto studying at the esteemed Eli Kassner Guitar Academy.
“People were kind of tossing around this term ‘virtuoso’ when I was a kid,” Cook recalls, “I am not sure. I was too undisciplined, I never practiced my scales and I played what I wanted to play. I would learn quickly and then have fun with it.”
He continued his studies in classical and jazz guitar at some of North America’s most prestigious music schools, while immersing himself in the oral traditions of Gypsy music. This unusual dichotomy paid dividends in his wide range of musical tastes that he has blended into his unique style of rumba flamenco.
Tickets for Jesse Cook are $40 and are available for sale at the Garde Arts Center Box Office, 325 State Street, New London. Tickets may also be purchased by phone at (860) 444-7373 x1, or on-line at www.gardearts.org

The Pajama Game
NEW LONDON — A laugh out loud family musical "The Pajama Game" will be playing at the Garde Arts Center on from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on March 22 as part of the Citizens Bank Broadway Series.
The Pajama Game first made its debut on Broadway in 1955, and then again in 2006, and winning the Tony Award for Best Musical Revival and Best Choreography starring Harry Connick Jr and Kelly O’Hara. The Pajama Game tells the story of the employees of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory who are looking for a whopping 7-1/2 cent raise and won't take "no" for an answer.
Babe Williams is their feisty employee representative, but she may have found her match in the shop superintendent, Sid Sorokin. When the two get together, they wind up discussing a whole lot more than job actions! Fun and romance, song and dance; everything you’re looking for in a musical. The Pajama Game is a delightful, sassy and fast-paced show featuring hit songs like "Hernando’s Hideaway," "Hey There" and "Steam Heat."
The creative team behind The Pajama Game includes: George Abbott (author/director), Richard Pike Bissell (author), and Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (music and lyrics). The Phoenix Entertainment touring production stars Jason Winfield as Sid Sorokin, Crystal Kellogg as Babe, Lori Ann Freda as Gladys and Thomas DeMarcus as Hines. Forrest Hartman of the Reno Gazette-Journal wrote, “Kellogg and Winfield are delightful, triple-threat performers who can sing, dance and charm the pajamas off the audience simultaneously.
And they are joined by fine supporting actors, including standouts Loriann Freda as the ditzy bookkeeper Gladys and Thomas DeMarcus as the factory's efficiency expert.” In 1957 Warner Bros. released a film version starring John Raitt, Doris Day, Eddie Foy Jr. and Carol Haney. Directed by George Abbott and Stanley Donen, with the screenplay written by Abbott and Richard Bissell, the film launched the career of Shirley MacLaine, who had been Haney’s understudy in the on-stage production.
Pre-Show Event: Pajama Game Fashion Show From the factory to the runway, Bobby Diehard, a new up and coming local designer, will be debuting his KILLERGRAHAM, BOBBY women’s clothing collection in the Garde Gallery on State St. on March 22. The runway show will include handmade skirts, dresses, tights, handbags and healots that shows fashion is fun and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
Doors will open at 2pm and 6pm; the fashion show will start at 2:25 pm and 6:25 pm and run approximately 10-15 minutes. Admission is free.
The Citizens Bank Broadway Series at the Garde Arts Center also includes: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (May 8-9).
Tickets for "The Pajama Game" are $44 for the balcony, $65 for the loge and $56 for the orchestra. Tickets are available at the Garde Arts Center box office at 325 State St. in New London, or by calling 860.444.7373 ext. 1, or at the Garde Web site www.gardearts.org

When the two get together, they wind up discussing a whole lot more than job actions! Fun and romance, song and dance; everything you’re looking for in a musical. The Pajama Game is a delightful, sassy and fast-paced show featuring hit songs like "Hernando’s Hideaway," "Hey There" and "Steam Heat."
The creative team behind The Pajama Game includes: George Abbott (author/director), Richard Pike Bissell (author), and Richard Adler and Jerry Ross (music and lyrics). The Phoenix Entertainment touring production stars Jason Winfield as Sid Sorokin, Crystal Kellogg as Babe, Lori Ann Freda as Gladys and Thomas DeMarcus as Hines. Forrest Hartman of the Reno Gazette-Journal wrote, “Kellogg and Winfield are delightful, triple-threat performers who can sing, dance and charm the pajamas off the audience simultaneously.
And they are joined by fine supporting actors, including standouts Loriann Freda as the ditzy bookkeeper Gladys and Thomas DeMarcus as the factory's efficiency expert.” In 1957 Warner Bros. released a film version starring John Raitt, Doris Day, Eddie Foy Jr. and Carol Haney. Directed by George Abbott and Stanley Donen, with the screenplay written by Abbott and Richard Bissell, the film launched the career of Shirley MacLaine, who had been Haney’s understudy in the on-stage production.
Pre-Show Event: Pajama Game Fashion Show From the factory to the runway, Bobby Diehard, a new up and coming local designer, will be debuting his KILLERGRAHAM, BOBBY women’s clothing collection in the Garde Gallery on State St. on March 22.
