With a body of work that’s one of the largest and most recognizable in American music, master composer and arranger Nelson Riddle shaped the popular music of the 1950s and ’60s with hundreds of hits for the likes of Dean Martin, Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, and, of course, Frank and Ella.   Dance Floor Opens at 6:00; Live Sets at 7:30–8:30 and 9:00–10:00 tag:flavorpill.com,2005:EventListing/71616 2012-06-27T22:00:00Z 2012-06-27T22:00:00Z Wednesday 6/27 Known as “El Rebelde del Acordeón,” famed vocalist and accordion rebel Celso Piña almost single-handedly created the burgeoning cumbia scene in Monterrey, Mexico with his first album more than three decades ago. Piña expertly infuses the classic, rural sounds of tropical cumbia with a modern cosmopolitan vibe that draws from Mexican regional traditions as well as collaborations with Latin alternative’s leading innovators.   Dance Floor Opens at 6:00; Live Sets at 7:30–8:30 and 9:00–10:00 tag:flavorpill.com,2005:EventListing/71631 2012-06-28T22:00:00Z 2012-06-28T22:00:00Z Dance Thursday 6/28  Somewhere between classic jazz, ragtime piano, and early urban blues, you’ll find boogie woogie, filled with rolling rhythms and a cheerfully swinging drive. The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie is (A) Axel Zwingenberger, Germany’s greatest modern boogie woogie pianist; (B) the raunchy vocalist and pianist Ben Waters; the almost telepathic rhythm section, (C) Charlie Watts, the masterful drummer whose syncopated rhythms drive “the world’s greatest rock ’n’ roll band”; and (D) Watts’s best friend since childhood, Dave Green, one of the finest bassists on the U.K. jazz scene.   Dance Floor Opens at 6:00; Live Sets at 7:30–8:30 and 9:00–10:00 tag:flavorpill.com,2005:EventListing/71632 2012-06-29T22:00:00Z 2012-06-29T22:00:00Z Dance Friday 6/29  Meschiya Lake has been a runaway, train-hopper, professional mud-wrestler, glass-eater in the traveling circus, and cross-continent traveler. From singing in the streets of New Orleans with the influential Loose Marbles to founding her own all-star ensemble in 2009, Lake has reenergized the traditional jazz and dance scene with her distinctive, contemporary, smoky, bluesy style.   Dance Floor Opens at 6:00; Live Sets at 7:30–8:30 and 9:00–10:00
