Katie Ernst: Little Words
A song cycle of Dorothy Parker poetry

We are so excited to welcome Katie Ernst for the first time to the Studio5 stage. American writer Dorothy Parker (1893-1967) is famous for her biting wit and satire, but she also had a softer side. Jazz bassist, vocalist, & composer Katie Ernst sets Dorothy Parker poetry to music in her project "Little Words". The Chicago Tribune hails it as an "ethereal, oft-haunting suite...a gentle, disarming work that stands out for its intimacy in an often-raucous world." Jazziz Magazine describes "Little Words" as "a concise set that winningly blends jazz, pop, and classical elements, showcasing Ernst's buttery alto and her creative way with melody." This project debuted in 2014 at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and has been performed at gallery spaces and performing art centers across the country. Please check out the video clip for a lovely sample from Little Words.

For her Studio 5 concert, Ms. Ernst is joined by saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, pianist Tom Vaitsas, and drummer Andrew Green for an evening of contemporary jazz and timeless poetry. Katie Ernst wishes to thank the NAACP for authorizing the use of Dorothy Parker's works.

We'll be recording this performance for Chicago Jazz Live on WDCB, so you'll be part of the studio audience! See you there. -SR
