The New Yorker pick for this weekend, April 15-16 Jazz at Lincoln Center
CATHERINE RUSSELL
Appel Room

Versatile to the core, this jazz-and-blues 
vocalist collaborated with David Bowie just 
before his retirement from the stage, in 2004. 
Here she looks back further, honoring the 
swing-era arranger Sy Oliver. Joined by La Tanya 
Hall and Carolyn Leonhart, Russell will take on 
Oliver's vocal charts, originally devised for 
male trios and later rearranged for a female 
cohort. The instrumental support team includes 
the guitarist Matt Munisteri and the trumpeter 
Jon-Erik Kellso. (Appel Room, Jazz at Lincoln 
Center, Broadway at 60th St. 212-721-6500. April 
15-16.)
