Entertainer, actor, singer, author and [ex- ] national world music radio DJ
[Holland] and that's only since I turned 42 !]
Father of one daughter, step-father of another and they are both terrific ladies in their own right.
Also involved in current events analysis on the internet.. Hobbies include jazz history, restoring old furniture, tennis, sailing , chess & frisbee!
Which of the following best describes you?
Singer, Event Organizer, Producer
Professional Affiliations
Actually I'm an "indie" artist although I have done projects for the BBC, Dutch national radio & TV..currently my vocals are being heard on commercials here for the National Lottery ["What A Wonderful Life!-see playlist below] and [Dutch] Discovery Channel.
On New Year's Eve [31-12-08] I will be appearing at the world-famous Paradiso in Amsterdam as EMcee of the newest, hottest sensation in Holland..the Burlesque Review [classic 50's style]
Show starts exactly at midnite in the main hall.
In 2006 I was lucky enough to record and perform with the Jimmy Lunceford Legacy Orchestra, former house band of NYC's famous Cotton Club..now at home, like me, in Holland.[!]
Dear Soul Communers
My how time just flies by.... my daughter got married in July and now she tells me I'm going to be a Grandad this summer ....I mean..I just can't imagine!
Anyway....I just converted the extra bedroom into a home studio..bought a new Cubase program and began learning how to do some home recording.
This is my first attempt...and I'm sure it can be improved!
The Nearness of You is an old classic and I thought I'd try to put it in a new suit...while keeping true to the emotional truth that Hoagy Carmichael was trying to convey in the original?. I hope somebody out there enjoys it...
over a chilled wine..or something stronger...
Wishing each and every Soul Brotha and Sista in the Commune a wonderful, warm and fulfilling Holiday Season...be it Hannukah, Christmas, Quantas or a feast of your own Spirit...let us be united in our desire to see love replace hate, peace replace violence..and music fill the hearts of everyone..rich, poor, young and old..whatever the color or the creed..everywhere on earth..
Amen
Didn't mean to be out of touch for so long but ..hey..you know what they say about Life and making plans [best to way make God laugh is to make plans..]
I assure you the reasons for my communal were justified..working to pay the rent as well as the music. Fortunately for me..the bills are paid now and the music is coming easy, too.
Note the new pic for my bio..tasken at the Amsterdam Comedy Club [19 July]. I am now the semi-regular EMcee for their Burlesque Freakout which is 50's striptease and 60's Motown meets Vegas meets Josephine Baker meets pre-war Berlin cabaret. Such fun! if you visit the city any time this year please look us up..or check my agenda page on my other website shaishahar.com
Meanwhile..my daughter gets married this Thursday so I'm about to pack for the flight.
Wishing all of you the happiest, healthiest and most soul refreshing of summers.
Sincerely
'Shai
And may the music guide you in all things.
Looking for collaborators!
I am seeking out artists, musicians, DJ's and producers in and around the Netherlands..and beyond to hook up with,....write, perform and record songs with. Any style is cool with me as long as it has a groove and a beat you can dance to.
Love to hear from you... [and hello from the JLLO]
Dear Friends [and Fans!]..
First I wish each and every one a truly Soulful experience this week..something that inspires your desires.
Second..I've taken the liberty of adding a few more tracks to the jukebox..and I call your special attention to the new JLLO numbers..4 or 5 Times, TÁint Whatcha Do, and for a really fine idea of what the band sounds like all by itself when the groove is on..try Keen & Peachy!
The boyz in the band want to know if it would be okay to put a page on SoulCommune..but I'd like to hear it from you first...whaddya think?
