Ann Hampton Callaway delivered joy to her audience, the recipe for which was surefire, but hard to come by in these times. Her voice, singing style, and musicianship are superb, but they did not account for all of the evening’s beauty. The rare ingredients of emotional generosity and sincerity spiced with a playful wit were essential to her potent magic potion.

Inspired by Callaway’s recent marriage, the song list followed the journey of a person searching for love.

First came “How About You?” which appropriately begins “I like New York in June,” it went on with updated lyrics, including “…
Caitlyn Jenner’s looks give me a thrill!” A beautifully phrased “Teach Me Tonight” allowed John di Martino the chance to show his considerable jazz piano chops.
A slow, gorgeous medley of “My Foolish Heart” and “My Romance” raised the temperature of the love Callaway communicated, a mood beautifully underlined by Martin Wind’s great work with the bow on his bass.

The emotional drive of the evening went from love lost (“Never Really Mine to Lose”) to betrayal (“You Turned the Tables on Me”) to confusion (Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time”) and right off the rails (a laugh-out-loud rendition of “Moody in Paris”).

Loneliness (“Touch the Hand of Love”) finally gave way to true love (Callaway’s own composition “Finding Beauty”), thrived with “I Gaze into Your Eyes,” and looked to its future in “How Do You Keep the Music Playing.
“
The evening ended with the singer expressing her gratitude for love found at last with a torch-song version of “Blue Moon” and a quiet and reflective encore—the title song, the Bergmans/Legrand “On My Way to You.”
In addition to di Martino and Wind, kudos are also due Tim Horner on drums and director Dan Foster.
