THE 10th ANNUAL SARAH VAUGHAN INTERNATIONAL JAZZ VOCAL COMPETITION SELECTS TOP FIVE FINALISTS

LATVIAN-BORN ARTA JĒKABSONE OF JERSEY CITY, A world of jazz just minutes from home, the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) today announced the top five finalists of the 10th Annual Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Pulled from Arta Jēkabsone of over 160 submissions Jersey City, from over 25 countries, these gifted young contes- world were evaluated on vocal quality, musicality, tants from around the

technique, performance, individuality, artistic interpretation, and ability to swing. The Top Five finalists are: Andrea Miller of Costa Mesa, California; April May Webb of Edison, New Jersey; Latvian-born Arta Jēkabsone of Jersey City, New Jersey; G. Thomas Allen of Chicago, Illinois; and Viktoria “Vik” Gečytė of Paris, France.

On November 14, 2021, they will compete in person on the NJPAC stage in front of a live audience. Hosted by NJPAC’s Jazz Advisor and multiGrammy-winning bassist Christian McBride, “The SASSY Awards” will feature performances by the competition’s five finalists, as well as by McBride alongside one of today’s top jazz vocalists Dianne Reeves.

The finalists will perform before a distinguished panel of judges,

including premier jazz pianist Renee Rosnes (West Orange, New Jersey), President & CEO of WBGO Radio Steven A. Williams, past winner of both the Sarah Vaughan and Thelonious Monk International Vocal Jazz Competitions Jazzmeia Horn, Paterson-born guitarist/singer John PIzzarelli, and renowned singer and NJCU professor Sheila Jordan. The first-prize winner of The SASSY Awards will receive a $5,000 cash award, second-place $1,500, and third-place $500.

The competition recalls the humble beginnings of legendary jazz singer/ NEA Jazz Master Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990) who, back in 1942, was a Newark teenager and winner of an amateur singing contest at the Apollo Theater.

That memorable night helped launch the lifework of one of the most successful, influential jazz vocalists in the history of American music. The competition is also known as The Sassy Awards, a nod to the nickname of

In recent years, Arta has performed often at NYC’s The Jazz Gallery, where she premiered most of her original music projects, including her debut album Light and Reflections.

During the pandemic, Arta performed in The Jazz Gallery Lockdown Sessions alongside artists like Camila Meza, Aaron Parks, Dayna Stephens; in March 2021, she premiered her newest multidisciplinary and bilingual performance, Letters to Home, on the program.

She was awarded The Jazz Gallery Residency Commission Grant in 2021.

Death Takes Center Stage in New Play Halloween Weekend Cont’d from cover

Longtime theater pioneer Dixon Place and up-and-coming arts organization In Full Color are partnering to present “Death in the Family,” a new play by Kendra Augustin, from Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 28 to 30, 2021.

“Death in the Family” is a series of five darkly comedic whimsical vignettes about the effects of death, grief, and trauma. With intensity and humor, the bold new show explores the conversations we often never get to have -- whether it’s two preteens pondering the ramifications of being born, brothers who wonder if anyone else is as lonely, if and when revenge is justified, what happens to the people left behind after violence, or how older and younger siblings experience parents in different ways.

For the Jersey Citybased In Full Color, this will be their first fulllength traditional play, and first full theatrical production in Manhattan.

The award-winning organization empowers women of color and other BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) of marginalized genders through education and the arts.

They’ve worked with about 250 artists nationally and are best known for their eponymous annual showcases of monologues, poetry, music and dance by women of color. They received the inaugural Jersey City Arts Council Performing Arts Award in 2018 and perform yearround for colleges, universities and corporate

groups around the world.

“Death in the Family” will be Augustin’s first full-length production. “I feel nervous and excited,” she admits. “I hope people like it and think it’s cool and that it makes them feel all sorts of wonderful and terrible things... .But I’m also terrified to be in the same space with others as they watch my heart bleed on the stage!...

And honored to have my first full-length production. It makes me wonder if there are more days like this waiting for me in the future!”

The Manhattan-based playwright has previously garnered attention for her work at theater festivals such as InspiraTO Festival, 365 Women A Year, LIC One Act Play Festival, The Fire This Time Festival and NOplays. Her piece “Stranger” also won Best Play, Best Actress and Best Director at the Stage Black Festival in 2014.

She’s thrilled to be showcased at Dixon Place, a venue she has long admired for their commitment to adventure and artistic achievement.

An artistic incubator since 1986, Dixon Place is a Bessie and Obie Awardwinning non-profit institution committed to supporting the creative process by presenting original works of theatre, dance, music, puppetry, circus art and literature at all stages of development. This local haven inspires and encourages diverse artists of all stripes and callings to take risks, explore new ideas, and consummate new practices.

“Death in the Family” was selected for production through In Full Color’s play development series The Nest prior to the COVID-19 quarantine.

“Kendra has this incredible ability to create really colorful worlds in these circumstantially bleak landscapes, and to write characters that think so differently, so out-of-thebox, but that are really weirdly relatable at the same time,” says Summer Dawn, founder/director of In Full Color and producer for “Death in the Family.”

She adds, “Kendra’s writing really jumped off the page even before we started doing readings of it for The Nest, and we knew as the theater scene began opening up again that we had to share these powerful stories with the world -- and do it right.”

This Dixon Place production of Death in the Family is made possible, in part, with funds from the New York State Council on the Arts w/ the support of the Office of the Governor & the NY State Legislature, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Howard Gilman Foundation, and the Shubert Foundation.

“Death in the Family”

by Kendra Augustin Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 28 to 30 at 7:30 p.m., with a 3 p.m. matinee on Oct. 30, at Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie St., Manhattan, NY. (Between Delancey and Rivington streets, accessible via J/Z train at Bowery, B/D at Grand Street and F at Second Avenue.) Tickets are $17 in advance, $20 at door.

Students/seniors $15/$17.
