JAZZ, PHILHARMONIC JOIN IN FUNDRAISING EVENT
A real battle of the bands takes place next day, Saturday, May 4, in the Hamilton Convention Center. It's the finale of Bill Powell's Battle of the Bands series and pits Sophisticated Swing versus the Johnny Hood Orchestra and Aelita.
It was Aelita that had Powell jumping on fences and crowing like a young rooster, though. Fervent were his breathy descriptions of this young chanteuse, so I gave her a call, I swear, Marlene Dietrich answered the phone.
Goosebumps time, gang. Originally from Riga, Latvia, Aelita has spent her life, since the age of 13 anyway, on stage in every exotic location you can imagine. She has just returned from Japan, she sings as part of the World Cup opening celebrations in South Korea – it took tree tenors but only one Aelita, I see – and she is booked two stops in Europe before that.
She has a battery of floor shows on various themes she can pull together in a trice, with a costume collection that stuns and is one active lady.
For the Battle of the Bands she will be slinking and swinging through numbers from her new CD, The Song Is You, a collection of classic love ditties calculated to make the pulse race.
