Mora Newman
Eydie in My Soul: The Songs of Eydie Gormé
Metropolitan Room, NYC, September 16, 2014
Reviewed by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes
Welcome a fine new performer to New York cabaret. She’s Mora Newman, who has returned to singing after decades in another field and another state. In a two-evening run at the Metropolitan Room, she offered a heartfelt tribute to Eydie Gormé, whose singing career embraced radio, records and television, frequently with her husband, Steve Lawrence. But it was Gormé as a soloist whom Newman saluted, with her own strong singing. After a hesitant start (understandable on her opening night after years away), she quickly found her confidence and launched into a non-stop, warm-hearted, happily patter-less program—some 19 songs, including such popular pieces as “What a Difference a Day Made,” “And the Angels Sing,” “I Wanna Be Around,” “The Sweetest Sounds,” “After You’ve Gone,” “Bei Mir Bist du Schoen” and a powerful, moving “What Did I Have That I Don’t Have?,” as well as several Latin American numbers, for which Gormé was well known.
Newman’s accompaniment was tops: Tedd Firth as musical director; Steve Doyle on bass; Daniel Glass on drums; and, both in the ensemble and in intricate solo turns, Sean Harkness on guitar.
