Birdland, NYC, March 25, 2019
Review by Peter Haas for Cabaret Scenes

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).
The evening included two fine guest vocalists: David Raleigh, joining Douglas on “Where Is the Love?
