SUMMARY:Rufus Wainwright at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:“a bounteous feast… he’s never sung better” – Pitchfork\n  \nRufus Wainwright has established himself as one of the great male vocalists\, songwriters\, and composers of his generation. In a career peppered with critical acclaim\, he has been praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality”. The New York-born\, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released ten studio albums to date\, three DVDs\, and three live albums. Also\, this includes the Grammy-nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. \nHe has collaborated with artists such as Elton John\, Burt Bacharach\, Miley Cyrus\, David Byrne\, Boy George\, and Joni Mitchell. Also\, Pet Shop Boys\, Heart\, Carly Rae Jepsen\, Robbie Williams\, Jessye Norman\, Billy Joel\, Paul Simon\, Sting\, Mark Ronson\, and others. Further\, he has written two operas and numerous songs for movies and TV. \nHis 2020 Grammy-nominated studio album of original songs\, Unfollow the Rules\, finds Wainwright at the peak of his powers. Here\, he enters artistic maturity with passion\, honesty\, and a new-found fearlessness. In 2023\, he embarked on a journey to his family folk roots with his Grammy-nominated album Folkocracy. This album features reinvented folk duets with Chaka Khan\, Brandi Carlile\, John Legend\, Anohni and many more. \nHis first musical of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night for the West End with Ivo van Hove premiered at the Gielgud Theater in March 2024. During this time he also completed a Requiem\, which premiered with the Orchestre Philharmonique de la Radio France in June of 2024. Co-commissioners for the Requiem are the Master Chorale in Los Angeles and the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona. Also\, Helsinki Symphony Orchestra\, the RTE Orchestra in Ireland\, and the Royal Ballet London. \n  \n \nBeloved London-born\, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson has returned with the exquisitely crafted Never Be The Same\, his first collection of original material since 2020. Across ten tracks\, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of music’s enduring preoccupations — love\, longing\, and the uneasy passage of time. \nThis album wasn’t built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile\, no forced reinvention. Instead\, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain: “Never Be The Same\,” its title only revealing itself to Thompson after he’d completed the recording. \nRecommended for fans of Regina Spektor\, Ben Folds\, Ingrid Michaelson and Harry Nilsson.

SUMMARY:Peter White at Dakota
DESCRIPTION:“the gold standard for smooth jazz guitarists.” – All About Jazz\n  \nHaving just turned seventy\, British-born guitarist Peter White raves about his latest album\, 2025’s Light of Day. “I think this recording is one of the best I’ve ever made. I have as much enthusiasm and energy for music as I did in my twenties!” Additionally\, 2024 marked his fiftieth year as a professional musician. There\, he began with a gig in a Top Forty band at a holiday resort in Perranporth\, a seaside resort town in the Southwest corner of England. Then\, six months later\, he met and officially launched his career recording and touring with singer/songwriter Al Stewart. Also\, White co-wrote Stewart’s classic “Time Passages”. \nEarly on in his career he enjoyed working as a sideman for Stewart and later\, Basia. However\, White could never have anticipated becoming an acclaimed instrumental recording artist\, let alone a popular headliner. Now\, 2025 marked thirty-five years since he dropped his debut album Reveillez-Vous. In that time\, he scored four Number One Billboard Contemporary Jazz albums and four Number Two albums. Additionally\, he had seven Number One Smooth Jazz Airplay hits. His most recent Number One was as a featured artist on Carol Albert’s “Sunshine Yellow.” \nWhite’s lyrical style of instrumental music is unique and distinguishable\, occupying a niche of his own in smooth jazz. Moreover\, he has collaborated with Boney James\, Rick Braun\, Richard Elliot\, Kirk Whalum\, Dave Koz and numerous others. \n“Once I began recording instrumental albums and they enjoyed some success\, the biggest surprise of my career is that I actually became an entertainer\,” White says. “I had complete freedom to create music that I loved without rules or compromise. I’m thrilled that I’m still around\, playing with some of the greatest musicians in the world!” \nRecommended for fans of Earl Klugh\, Brian Culbertson\, David Benoit and Bob James. \n📸: Lori Stoll
