NYC: SHEPLEY METCALF RELEASES CD IN NYC AT METROPOLITAN ROOM
Shepley Metcalf premieres "Something Irresistible: Shepley Metcalf Sings Fran Landesman" on Sunday October 24th at 7:00 pm at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440).Backed by her music director Ron Roy on piano, Chris Rathbun on bass and Bart Weisman on drums, the Boston-based Metcalf recently introduced these songs in performances at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston and Davenport's in Chicago. The New York premiere of "Something Irresistible" celebrates the U.S. release in March of "Something Irresistible: Songs of Fran Landesman + Simon Wallace". Written with the jazz composer Simon Wallace, Landesman's songwriting collaborator in London since 1994, the new collection includes standouts like "In a New York Minute," "It's Cool to be Cool," "When Your Computer Crashes," and the monumentally poignant "Save the Photographs." A Greenwich Village fixture in her early career, Landesman is best known for her widely admired standards "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most," and "The Ballad of the Sad Young Men." Her songs have been covered in classic recordings by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Ricki Lee Jones, Gil Evans and Bette Midler. Wallace is well known in Great Britain for his extensive work as a jazz pianist, arranger and composer in nightclubs, for the theatre and television. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.SIDE-BAR ADVERTISER
