Jaron Vesely
SWINGERS & STANDARDS


Jaron Vesely, of the Bistro Award winning Fabulous Pink Flamingos, approached Miles this spring to direct is solo Nightclub debut.  Miles was already a big fan, so of course he said yes!  The songlist features an exciting assortment of music from songwriters and artists including: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley, Lerner & Loewe, Joni Mitchell, Thelonious Monk, Rodgers & Hart, Three Dog Night, Frederik Chopin, Steven Tyler and (yes) Pink!

Jazz piano wunderkind Scott Bradlee collaborated on the thrilling arrangements and serves as Musical Director of a jazz ensemble that is at once nostalgic and edgy.

The show was a hit!  The critics said some very nice things about Jaron, Scott, Miles and the band!  And The Metropolitan Room loved it!  They asked him to bring the show back in the fall, so they've reassembled the team for two more performances!

"Like a bolt from the gods at Valhalla ... bright charm and an off-kilter blend of self-deprecating zaniness ... riveting, big league cabaret ... one of the most outstanding solo debuts of the year - impressivly directed by a master ... a terrific show that shouldn't go unnoticed when awards are passed out."
John Hoglund / NightLife Exchange

"Way cool and way slick ... Vesely has a Diesel-engine baritone and shows is off plenty ... Perhaps the supreme moment in an act he calls 'Swingers & Standards' was when he wasn't singing at all, but just looking forward, sustaining the mood of a doleful ballad as only a masterful singing actor can.  Possibly Vesely learned this valuable lesson about filling a break - a lesson about the art of concentration - rehearsing with director-performer Miles Phillips ... first rate achievement ... This Flamingo is well-nigh fabulous on his own."
David Finkle / BistroAwards.com

"Wow!  A real artist, not simply a performer ... Jaron's amazing vocals were matched by musical director Scott Bradlee's accompaniment.  This magical pairing, and Miles Phillips' inspired direction, combined to make this performance a delightful treat!"
Stu Hamstra / Cabaret Hotline
