[Zahn, Bari]

Hi All,
 
Another opportunity to sponsor a historic cultural event at BB Kings to
benefit Dance Theater of Harlem.  Please see below if you would be
interested in sponsoring this event or if you know of other companies
that might be interested.  She has gotten much sponsorship thus far and
really is only looking for another $2,500 to $10,000.  Sponsoring this
event will provide much exposure for you company.  If you are
interested, please contact Jill directly at meszmusic at hotmail.com.
 
Much Thanks,
Bari

	Dear  Bari Zahn,

	 

	On September 19, 2007, I am Producing a historic, cultural event
with legendary musicians Odetta and Leon Bibb. (PLEASE READ BELOW) The
event is a benefit for the Dance Theater of Harlem, which is currently
not in operation, due to a budget defecit. 

	 

	I am looking for financial support to enhance this event
(additional musicians, Dancers, poets, and a Cultural Icon as  Host). BB
King Blues Club has graciously agreed to host this event, including
preliminary costs. Sponsorship needs are not great, but are necessary to
take the evening to another level. 

	 

	 In exchange for your financial sponsorship, I can arrange
visibility that works for your Company, etc.  This can be custom
designed, depending on your needs.

	 

	Since time is of the essence, I look forward to hearing from you
immediately. to discuss this  extraordinary Event further. 

	 

	I can be reached any time at (917) 561 6056. 

	 

	Many thanks. 

	 

	All My Best,

			Over the course of the last half-century, ODETTA
has become one of the most celebrated figures in music. She has sung for
American Presidents, walked arm-in-arm with great leaders of the Civil
Rights movement and served as an inspiration to several generations of
musicians, most famously Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin. The New York Times
once described this great American artist in the following terms:
"Odetta's voice remains a remarkably flexible instrument; capable both
of soft-spun timbres and one with a powerful cutting edge, equally
convincing in resonant, low tones and scat-like passages way up high."
She is a national treasure. ERIC BIBB was born In New York into a
musical family. His father, LEON BIBB, was a trained singer who
performed in musical theatre and made a name for himself as part of the
1960's New York folk scene. His uncle was the world famous Jazz pianist
and composer John Lewis, of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Family friends
included Pete Seeger, Odetta and actor/singer/activist Paul Robeson,
Eric's godfather. A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience
- both musically and spiritually. Purveying a beautifully realized and
deftly accomplished, soulful and gospel infused, folk-blues, Eric has no
problem melding a traditional rootsy American style with a subtle
contemporary sensibility. As one critic wrote " Eric's singing and
versatile guitar playing fuse a variety of genres to become a New World
Blues".
