ALL THAT JAZZ, AND MORE, WITH AMY

Amy Hanaiali‘i will be very visible at the Halekulani Hotel, beginning with a two-seating performance, at 7 and 9 p.m. May 7, at Lewers Lounge. A $50 cover charge is in place, with a two-drink minimum. “An Evening of Jazz With Amy” is the theme, so expect swing and blues, instead of her Hawaiian repertoire. …

In addition, Hanaialii also will be headlining  the earlier-announced  first-ever  Mother’s Day show on May 8 at the Halekulani ballroom. Hawaiiana and a more diversified song menu will prevail.

Amy Hanaiai’i

Hanaiali‘i, lest you forget, is the president of the Hawaiii Acacemy of Recording Arts, the organization that celebrates achievement in the music community. She informs voting members, via email, that preliminary balloting begins today and continues through May 6. HARA members who don’t receive the e-ballot should email infor@harahawaii.com to request the ballot. The competition will unveil during the annual Hoku evening later this year …

Shari Lynn

The Shari Lynn Trio, which ventures into jazz and the Great American Songbook, returns to Medici’s at Manoa Marketplace, for a lone show at 7:30 p.m. May 6. Doors open at 6 p.m.; a $59 fee includes dinner and the performance.

Shari has a lot to sing about; she’s retiring as a music teacher at La Pietra, Hawaii School for Girls, at the end of the academic year. She and husband Mike Acebedo will finally venture to Europe for a pandemic-delayed celebration of their wedding anniversary. …
