Ron Dabney

The Triad, NYC, May 30, 2018

Reviewed by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes

Only a short number of years ago, after injury interrupted his successful career as a dancer, Ron Dabney turned to singing. He has emerged and continues to grow as a delightful cabaret artist and interpreter of the American Songbook. Example: his latest outing at a packed house at The Triad, where he lent his rich mahogany-tinged voice to a program of a dozen-plus standards.

Backed by a lively band under the direction of pianist Daryl Kojak—with Steven Frieder on sax, Jon Burr on bass, and Dwayne Broadnax on drums—Dabney radiated joy as he offered a warm-hearted, jazz-flavored take on familiar songs.

Among his selections: “There Will Never Be Another You” (Harry Warren/Mack Gordon); “I Got It Bad (and That Ain’t Good)” (Duke Ellington/Paul Francis Webster); “My Funny Valentine” (Rodgers & Hart); a peppy “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” (Graham Lyle/Terry Britten); the lovely “What a Difference a Day Made” (Maria Grever/Stanley Adams); and “Time After Time” (Rob Hyman/Cyndi Lauper).

The Rodgers & Hart oldie, “Isn’t It Romantic?,” was indeed romantic in his interpretation, while he delivered “Fever” (Eddie Cooley/John Davenport/Peggy Lee) at a temperate temperature belying the title.

Unlike his previous shows where he had invited guest artists to join him, Dabney held the stage solo throughout, delivering minimum talk and maximum musicality.

About halfway through the show, the on-stage air conditioning appeared to falter, to the point where Dabney simply paused, took off his natty jacket, mopped his brow, and continued in his shirt sleeves, giving the music his all. Which—increasingly, as he continues to grow as a performer—is in solid supply.
