Dear Lenny: Bernstein’s Life in Songs and Letters
A clever concept that uses letters to and from the Maestro to weave the songs and storytelling together.
A clever concept that uses letters to and from the Maestro to weave the songs and storytelling together.
A constant, high standard evening of jazz, ballads, and swing in her inimitable style enhanced by the accompaniment of piano virtuoso Tamir Hendelman.
Each has a strong individual approach to her material.
This assemblage of standards is tasty and tasteful, funny and moving, revelatory and comforting.
Her clarion-toned, rangy contralto is fueled by elegant phrasing.
The lady is uniquely talented.
A performance for the memory books.
Sparkling, effervescent, delightful, and a joy to watch.
