French - Cabaret Scenes

Melinda Hughes

An acclaimed soprano.

A sultry voice with hints of Piaf.

She managed to inhabit The Little Sparrow without impersonating her.

Williams has an ingenuous warmth and disarming wit.

Theatrical, passionate and unrestrained.

Lori Donato made her debut at the famed Gardenia.

Swing is a given; it’s under this performer’s skin like bones.

She has that same very fast tremolo vibrato with phrasing and pronunciation reminiscent of Piaf.

It was the man’s night – he was entitled to it in all of its colorful variety.

Seeing Russian-bornOleg Frish perform is always a joyfully entertaining experience.
