Two grand ladies of song were spotlighted together on a March evening at Birdland. One was Grammy Award winner Roberta Flack—not present in person, but represented in a tribute to her through the songs she has performed during her career.

Providing the honors, with grand singing, warmth, a sense of fun, and Flack background notes, was Natalie Douglas. On stage with her, contributing bright accompaniment throughout, were music director Mark Hartman on piano, Shirazette Tinin on drums, Saadi Zain on electric and acoustic bass, and Elii Katz Zoller on guitar.

The program featured a dozen-plus Flack favorites. Among them: “Feel Like Making Love”(Eugene MacDaniels)—lilting and sweet; “Let It Be Me” (Mann Curtis/Pierre DeLanoe/Gilbert Bécaud)—gentle and heartfelt; “Tryin’ Times” (Donny Hathaway/Leroy Hutson)—referring to the early 1970s, when, noted Douglas, “things were complicated”; a plaintive “I’m the Girl” (James Alan Shelton); “Business Goes on as Usual” (Fred Hellerman and Fran Minkoff, which Douglas described as “political around the edges”); and a driving “No Tears” (by Ralph MacDonald and William Salter).
