Metropolitan Room, NYC, June 5, 2014

Reviewed by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes

“The blues are just a good woman feelin’ bad,” commented Carole J. Bufford in her newest show, Shades of Blue. When she sings, you can’t help feelin’ good, as an enthusiastic audience did, enjoying her springtime run at the Metropolitan Room.

Singing with power, warmth, one of cabaret’s most delicious voices and using subtle acting, Bufford offered songs ranging from classic 1920s blues to modern popular and theater pieces.

The result, as co-created by the singer and producer Scott Siegel: simply one of the season’s most refreshing and enjoyable evenings.

With musical direction and virtuoso piano work by Ian Herman and dynamic bass support by Steve Doyle, Bufford guided her audience through a program ranging from 1920s hits, such as “All by Myself, “Lovesick Blues” and “Trouble in Mind” (this last with a spectacular rhythm solo by special guest Danny Gardner, using his hands,feet and body), to theater songs, including Gershwin/Heyward’s “Summertime” and Weill/Hughes’s “Lonely House,” and on to more modern blues by such writers as Paul McCartney, John Legend, Randy Newman and Johnny Cash. Among the offerings: “Some of My Best Friends Are the Blues,” from the 1960s.
