Recently Featured At Lincoln Center, Brooklyn
Vocalist Joelle Lurie Pops Up Jazz and Jazzes Up Pop
on Debut Album Take Me There (September 30)

@ SubCulture TONIGHT – SEPTEMBER 29 

A favorite secret inside the New York City music scene, JOELLE LURIE’s bright voice and effervescent performance style has made her a first pick for high-profile events including the recent James Beard Awards at Lincoln Center. Originally from Boston, the New Yorker studied jazz and opera and brings that training to her distinctive “jazzed up pop/popped up jazz” modern style on Take Me There (September 30), her debut self-release of standards, originals and pop covers.

Produced and arranged by longtime bassist and bandmate, Ben Gallina (Amy Lynn and the Gunshow, Anthony D’Amato, Honey Honey), Take Me There showcases Joelle’s tight band of six years, The Pinehurst Trio. The trio is named for the quaint street in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood – often featured on the legendary NBC TV show “Law & Order” – where they all lived until Joelle made the move to Brooklyn. All millennial kids, the trio is influenced by many musical styles including pop, Motown, folk and jazz and have performed around the world.

Recorded at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, the CD engages from the opening track, the jazz standard “All or Nothing At All,” done with a hip hop feel. Joelle calls on her full range of musical influences for the album which includes her originals and songs by Tears for Fears, Ric Ocasek’s, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim and the Gershwins.

The Pinehurst Trio is Nick Consol on piano, fender rhodes and Wurlitzer; Ben Gallina on upright bass, electric bass and acoustic guitar on track 10; and Conor Meehan on drums, pandeiro, tambourine and shaker. Also featured on the recording are: Andrew Smiley, (1-6, 8-12) on electric guitar and acoustic guitar; Jeremy Viner (tracks 1-3, 5-12) on alto, tenor, baritone saxophones, flute and clarinet; Eli Asher (tracks 1, 2, 5, 6, 9-11) on trumpet; Curtis Stewart (tracks 4, 7) on violin; and Claire Bryant (tracks 4, 7) on cello.
