April 15: Remembering Barbara Carroll
Remembering "The First Lady of Jazz Piano."
Remembering "The First Lady of Jazz Piano."
Setting the evening’s warm-hearted style was Klea Blackhurst,
What a fine and quite theatrical evening it was when Thursday at The Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Cabaret Convention.
Hosted by Cabaret greats Jeff Harnar and Andrea Marcovicci, the second program of the New York Cabaret Convention was A Sentimental Journey: World War II Songs.
“Another op’nin’, another show….” were the first words we heard at another opening of yet another show.
Charlap’s own quote about Benny and Basie applies to his own men: they swung with grace and intensity.
