DESCRIPTION:
Karla Harby & The Outcats are dedicated musicians who specialize in playing authentic jazz, classical, modern folk and world music. We've entertained audiences in gazebo gardens, on yachts, in mansions, art galleries, clubs, restaurants, lounges and in major New York City hotels. Flutist Karla Harby plays the lead melody instrument, and she is joined by artists playing guitar, mandolin, 'ukulele, upright acoustic bass, drums, percussion, violin, pedal and Celtic harp, saxophone and/or acoustic piano, and sometimes by a singer or two! For classical music, the group performs most often in a flute and guitar duo or a as harp and flute duo, adding bass, piano, violin and other instruments by client request. And, if an acoustic piano is available at your location, it is always great to add a wonderful pianist! :) ***N O T E: PLEASE VISIT MY MAIN GIGMASTERS PRESS KIT, THE RELATED PRESS KIT (SCROLL DOWN BELOW SONG LIST FOR THE LINK), FOR THE KARLA HARBY TRIO. Only that website has an up-to-date performance calendar. The most famous songs in our classical repertoire include: Bach's Air on the G String, Berceuse Op. 16 by Gabriel Faure, J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 1st Movment (excerpt), Pachelbel's Canon in D, Canarios by Gaspar Sanz, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart, Gymnopedie I by Erik Satie, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach, Pavane Op. 50 by Faure, Sleepers Wake by Bach, Sicilienne by Faure, The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens, La Fille aux Cheveus de Lin by Claude Debussy. Also: The Wedding March from Midsummer Night's Dream by Mendelssohn, the Rondeau by Mouret (also known as the Masterpiece Theatre Theme), Mozart's Wedding March from the Marriage of Figaro, Purcell's Trumpet Voluntary and his Trumpet Tune, Ave Maria (versions by Schubert or by Gounod), Wagner's Bridal Chorus (from Lohengrin, "Here Comes the Bride"). In 2004, Karla Harby and bandmate Jimi Durso, together with bassist Nicolas Letman-Burtinovic and drummer Matt Wilson, recorded a jazz-fusion CD, "Last Cigarette" as a project of Karla and Jimi's band, National Boulevard. This CD was professionally tracked, mixed and mastered and is available from CD Baby and on Apple iTunes. Tracks from the album have been used on several Travel Channel televison shows and by Getty Images. Photo credit: Mayumi Yoshimaru, New York City, July 2006. Additional information: Band leader Karla Harby has been performing in the New York area since 2002, and has been honored to work with many of New York City's most beautifully talented musical artists. In addition to playing concert flute, alto flute and Native American flute, Karla Harby sometimes performs on drum kit or congas. She plays studio dates for other musicians' recordings, and has played flute for Latin bands. She occasionally plays flutes and drums for extremely-off-Broadway theatre productions. Her flute playing is heard in the independent film by director Steve Mallorca, Slow Jam King, which had its debut at the Asian American International Film Festival in New York City in July 2004. The movie was favorably reviewed in The New York Times on June 9, 2006, prior to a week of New York City screenings. The film soundtrack has been praised by the Village Voice, among other publications. In 2005, Karla Harby and her jazz group received a Residency Grant from Chamber Music America to conduct a series of jazz and blues workshops at the Roosevelt (N.Y.) High School. The band was joined by Judi Silvano, a well-known jazz vocalist and workshop leader. Currently Karla Harby is recording with Jimi Durso (bass, guitar, mandolin, kalimba), Efrat Brown (violin), Daniels "Daria" Cortese (pedal harp) and Bill Buchen (tablas) in New York for a CD of new age music. The CD, "Waves of Time," features all-original compositions by Jimi Durso and Karla Harby, and has a release date in September 2008. In addition, Karla Harby plays improvised flute on the CD by singer-songwriter Russ Michaels, Blue Eyed Harvest, and her Native American flute playing is featured in a duo on the recording, Love and Light, by folk singer Adrienne Nightingale.
