Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2008 -- After four decades of producing, writing, arranging and accompanying the best in the business, pianist Clarence McDonald has finally taken center stage. McDonald is credited with creating some of the most memorable music of our time. His production, writing, and arranging credits include collaborations with The Emotions, Patti Labelle, Michael Lington, Johnny Mathis, Billy Preston, Stanley Turrentine, David T. Walker, Deniece Williams, Nancy Wilson and Bill Withers.

More than just an evening of amazing musical entertainment, McDonald weaves a fascinating anthology of LA's recording industry throughout the performance, sharing stories and images of friends and fellow artists. "How Sweet It Is" (J. Taylor), "Best of My Love" (The Emotions), "Sara Smile" (Hal & Oates), "Summer Breeze" (Seals & Crofts) and "Lovely Day" (B. Withers) will be some of the songs he will perform with Evolution at the El Portal Theatre (www.elportaltheatre.com / (866) 811-4111 / (818) 508-4200) on August 2 & 3, 2008.
