Arizona Dialy Star - MUSIC NOTES

Accent
MUSIC NOTES
Baroque, Romantic pieces at Organ Series concert
Tucson, Arizona Published: 03.28.2008

Leave it to Tucson blueswoman, boogie-woogie practitioner and piano tickler Lisa Otey to strike upon an idea that entertains the lot of us.

This time, Otey is hosting a series of piano concerts. Her Piano Series at Z Mansion kicks off Monday and runs through early May.

The series features Otey paired up with other noted Tucson pianists, starting with jazz pianist Susan Artemis on Monday; recent transplant Marilyn Harris, who dabbles in jazz and song parodies, April 7; longtime boogie-woogie charmer Arthur Migliazza, April 21; Gaslight Theatre legend Linda Ackermann, who double-dips in ragtime and classical, April 28; and Chicago transplant and jazz dispenser Judy Roberts, May 5.

The concerts begin at 7 p.m. at Z Mansion, 288 N. Church Ave., Downtown. Admission is $20 per show, or three shows for $50.

For details, call Otey at 370-5912 or visit her Web site, www.lisaotey.com.
