March 29

Jazz Kitchen

Believe it or not, there are a few lyrics in the Great American Songbook that were not written by Johnny Mercer.

But it might be hard to think of some when you realize that Mercer wrote, among many others, “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Jeepers, Creepers!,” “Blues in the Night,” “Skylark,” “Hooray for Hollywood,” “I’m Old Fashioned,” “Summer Wind,” “Moon River,” Something’s Gotta Give,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “One for My Baby (and One More For the Road),” “Autumn Leaves,” “Days of Wine and Roses,” “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby,” and “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive.”

 Mercer’s way with words will be celebrated by the Indianapolis Jazz Orchestra as part of a Tuesday night concert, which also highlights the sound of the Maynard Ferguson Big Band of the 1950s and 1960s. Details here. 

Sarah Silverman

March 24

IU Auditorium

If you’ve never heard Sarah Silverman before, well, then maybe you shouldn’t be going to see her when she performs at IU Auditorium. If you have seen her, you realize how difficult it is to quote one of her jokes, out of context, here and still manage to get by your spam filter.

 The author of “The Bedwetter” and star of the concert film “Jesus is Magic” and Comedy Central’s “Sarah Silverman Program,” Silverman specializes in using her faux-naïve persona to get away with outrageous statements (not many comics would even attempt a line about Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech). Of course, it helps, too, that she’s very funny. Details here.

“3 Generations of Divas”

 

March 26

Palladium

A concert featuring double Grammy winner Jane Monheit would be a solid entry in anyone’s jazz series (she proved she’s a hit when she played the Cabaret at the Columbia Club last season). Give a listen to her here. 

A concert with quadruple Grammy winner Dianne Reeves would be an equally impressive score on a season schedule. A sample? Click here. 

Put them together, though—and add 16-year-old Nikki Yanofsky to the mix (Hear her here.), and you have the makings of a night to remember for a long, long time. Alas, I can’t make it Saturday, but I’m confident this will be the concert I most regret missing all year. Details here.
