"Tasty" Parker: New Orleans star drummer Zutty Singleton
called him "Tasty" because of the tasty, improvised licks
that come from Johnny's trumpet when he plays for delighted
audiences worldwide! Encouraged to play jazz trumpet by the great
bassist George Duvivier, after graduating from high school in
Flushing, Queens, Johnny Parker took his style to New York City's
legendary clubs on 52nd Street, then on the road with R&B
bandleaders Roosevelt Sykes ("the Honeydripper") and Sax
Kari. Johnny recorded with Sykes, singer Etta Jones, Gatemouth
Moore, Sy Oliver, and stepped in for Cat Anderson in Duke
Ellington's band. In the 1950s, Parker gigged with Sonny Rollins and
Thelonious Monk, and in the 1970s, with pianist Brooks Kerr and
famed drummer Sonny Greer. Tasty's credentials continue: he played
with Harry Connick, Jr. at the Algonquin Hotel, and with Terri
Thornton for the house jazz band at the Casa Bella Restaurant in
Little Italy. Johnny Parker is the quintessential New York City
music personality: this "strolling trumpeter" serenaded
clients at the famous Chelsea Place. His appearance on the
"Shining Star" video for Mesa/Blue Moon productions aired
on Black Entertainment Television and other cable television
stations. Catch Johnny "Tasty" Parker at Arthur's Tavern
Tuesday through Friday. Singer-songwriter guitarist Raul Midon is the "spiritually and socially conscious, optimistic" (Miami Herald) new voice for our times. His compelling lyrics and melodies are captivating audiences everywhere and filling them with a sense of hope and healing in a shaken post September 11th world. "I like to celebrate the possible," says Midon, "the highest, the best of possibilities for human beings. Collectively, we create an enormously powerful force that can change the world and overcome any obstacle." His original works "Everyday" and "Freedom" echo these sentiments and can be heard along with eight more standout originals on his new, self-produced CD "Blind To Reality," (available only at midon.com). Beating the odds and overcoming obstacles is something Midon knows about first hand. Born premature but healthy twins in rural New Mexico, he and brother Marco were blinded after being placed in incubators with high oxygen levels, destroying their retinas. Soon after they turned four, their mother died suddenly from an aneurysm. By age five, they were boarding students at a school for the blind where they distinguished themselves academically. An unknown benefactor enabled them to enroll in the prestigious Santa Fe Prep for high school, which necessitated a daily fifty mile drive each way from home by their devoted Dad. Despite the rigorous schedule, they graduated with honors. A perfect SAT score in English landed Raul in the University of Miami, graduating with honors and a degree in music and jazz guitar. His brother is now an engineer with NASA and Raul has been named Best Musician and Best Acoustic Performer consecutively in Miami's "New Times." Midon has now emerged with
his own group and original material as a sellout artist on Miami's
Pop scene after several years
as the first call background vocalist for Enrique
Iglesias, Christina Aguilara,
Shakira, Alejandro Sans, Ricky Martin, Julio
Iglesias and Jose Feliciano, among
others. He has just returned from The
Santa Fe Jazz & International Music Festival where
his crossover solo performance was sold out two weeks in advance, playing to a 'standing
room only' crowd bolstered
by heavy rotation of his new CD with interviews on radio stations
from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. He accompanied Latin turned Pop diva Shakira
on background vocals, guitar and mandolin for a media blitz that took him from New York to L.A. and included
stints on Leno, Regis
& Kelly, Rosie and MTV's
TRL. He is currently writing and recording for renowned underground
d. j. Little Louie Vega on his latest project. Local press has covered every
one of his rare solo performances with rave reviews.. ."the
most musical artist working
the scene"... "music
oozes out of every one
of his pores" "a mix
between Seal and Stevie
Wonder, amazingly melodic
and fluid with songwriting
that is solid and crafty"
(Miami Herald). Midon,
recently took the plunge and moved to New York City to further his
career. "Anything
worth anything starts with an idea, an
`invisible' thing," says
Raul. "You build your
universe with your ideas. Like I said, I like to celebrate the possible!" |
