NYC: JOE BACHANA SINGS THE SONGS OF THE 40s
Consummate host and singer Joe Bachana brings back a glamorous night of lush music from the 1940s, a vibrant period in American history at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Wednesday, May 26th at 7:30 pm. Joe will cover a period of seven years, paying tribute to Bernie Bierman, who, alongside his partner Jack Manus, wrote dozens of songs on Tin Pan Alley that made the top of the Hit Parade charts. His songs have been sung by Big Band greats like Don Cherry, Frankie Laine, Eddy Howard, Sammy Kaye Harry James, Billy Eckstine, and even Frank Sinatra. Bierman is alive and well at the ripe old age of 101, making him one of the last surviving lyricists/ composers of the 1940's American Songbook. The band features Barry Levitt at the piano, Jeff Carney on bass, Brian Grice at the drums, Jack Cavari on guitar and Bob Magnuson on Sax and woodwinds. The evening will also guest star Valerie diLorenzo. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
