Listen to jazz/folk/blues singer Barb Jungr and you will hear familiar songs come alive with fresh truth. Jungr’s recent but too-short run at 59E59 offered a peek into the unique approach to her song selections.

She finds the root of the song and expands it to discover new facets that speak to the realities of life and these insights she presents to her audience, with all their sorrows and joys in a search for survival.
Dancing in the Dark delves into the world of the night and Jungr’s natural delivery and her mix of humor and drama neatly set up many of the selections with works by Bruce Springsteen, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan.

Her era is the ’60s and on. Accompanying her was vivacious Tracy Stark, right on track, keeping every nuance on piano and occasional vocal harmonies.
Jungr’s secret to communicating the essence of the despair in these songs is linked to her own sense of optimism. She strolls across the stage, closely connected and singing to the audience, sharing human emotions along with the crazy comedy of life. Jungr recalled her own school days in the ’60s, when the boring girls liked The Beatles, the hip girls followed The Rolling Stones, and the smart girls went for The Who.

In this show, Jungr chose Paul McCartney’s “The Night Before,” slowed it down, bringing to it a pleading innocence.
Before pairing of “Help Me Make It Through the Night” by Kris Kristofferson and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow” by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, she commented that her versions were gender-free.

They were also universal. She talked about Andy Williams and urged a sing-along (with a touch of coaching) to “Can’t Get Used to Losing You” (Doc Pomus/Mort Shuman) followed by one antidote to pain, Neil Diamond’s “Red, Red Wine.

” She shared a look at Cohen’s sardonic “Everybody Knows,” bringing an upbeat familiarity to the audience that made the bleakness somewhat easier to bear.
The title song, Springsteen’s “Dancing In the Dark,” drew you into the world of loneliness and yearning for a connection, where you were caught until the finale, a rocking “Tangled Up in Blue” by Bob Dylan. A tender rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” written by Hugh Martin for Judy Garland in Meet Me In St. Louis, was the only holiday offering.
It may sound strange, but this was not at all a depressing show. With a captivating sense of humor, Barb Jungr proves that a walk on the dark side often illuminates life’s bright spots.
