Multi-faceted vocalist Arlene Armstrong has entertained audiences with genres ranging from cabaret, gospel, comedy, and her true love, jazz. Armstrong’s solo shows with pianist Bobby Schiff include Just a Girl and a Piano, Jazz Bird, To Carmen, with Love (a tribute to Carmen McRae), Divinely Sarah (a tribute to Sarah Vaughan), and Dedicated to Duke (the music of Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington). As a member of the award-winning Black Voices in Cabaret, she was a featured soloist at the 2022 Guild Literary Complex Musicality of Poetry event. As a Chicago Cabaret Professionals (CCP) member, she has performed at the Park West Theater and in numerous holiday concert venues, such as St. Martha’s Shrine in Morton Grove.
“Known in Chicago as the ‘Jazzbird,’ Arlene Armstrong brings the best of both jazz and cabaret. Her vocals capture the freedom of jazz, with a rich lower register at times reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan and supported feminine top notes”. Carla Gordon, Cabaret Scenes Magazine
The event is $25 for members, and $30 for nonmembers.
