In fact, The buzz about Annie at Montreal's Upstairs Bar landed her two appearances at the Montreal Jazz Festival, where she played for an audience of 10,000. Vice-president of programming of the festival was quoted in an interview, "Annie is for me, all about passion."

Annie has been to Japan for six tours covering twenty cities. She has also performed in Korea, Peru, Russia, Holland, Poland, Mexico, several times in Germany and all over the U.S.

Four years of concentrated gigs in L.A. lead to her collaborations with jazz musicians there such as Shelly Berg, whose arrangements are featured on her fourth album "A Little Piece of Heaven" Live in Santa Monica with the Gerald Clayton Trio. She has released five albums under her own label and appeared on several others.

Don Heckman of the Los Angeles Times writes, "her most attractive quality might be the manner in which she has transformed her musical influences into her own immediately identifiable style. [She has] her own utterly unique musical personality."

Backing Annie on Friday, April 27 will be the incomparable Beegie Adair Trio, with the leader on piano, Roger Spencer on bass, and Chris Brown on drums.

The backing band for Saturday, April 28 will be just as amazing, with Joe Davidian on piano, Mike Rinne on bass, and Josh Hunt on drums.



As always, the shows start at 8pm each night. Tickets will go on sale for both performances at 10am on Monday, April 23 at 242-5299. Admission for each event is $20, or $10 for students with ID.
