NYC: MARY FOSTER CONKLIN WITH "UP JUMPED SPRING"
Mary Foster Conklin returns to the THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440 ) with her new show "Up Jumped Spring" on Saturday, April 24th, both shows at 7:30 pm. She is joined by Janice Friedman on piano, Marco Panascia on bass and Ron Vincent on drums. As the song goes, it's been a long cold lonely winter. What better way to celebrate the Spring than a program of music including songs by the Gershwins, Bob Dorough and Fran Landesman, Peggy Lee, Duke Ellington, Matt Dennis, Leonard Cohen and Bill Evans, among others. A celebrated performer on the New York jazz and cabaret scene, Ms. Conklin is a longtime vocalist with Art Lillard's 15-piece Heavenly Band, and can be heard on his recording "Reasons to Be Thankful", on Summit Records. She is a three-time MAC Award winner, a three-time Bistro Award winner, and recipient of 2007 MAC Award for Jazz Recording of the Year for her tribute to Matt Dennis, BLUES FOR BREAKFAST on Rhombus Records. Her debut recording CRAZY EYES was listed as one of the ten best CDs of 1998 by IN THEATRE Magazine. Her second CD, YOU'D BE PARADISE, was released in Fall 2001 to critical acclaim. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
