NYC: BIRD AMONGST THE BLOSSOM - A TRIBUTE TO THE FIRST BLOSSOM DEARIE SONGBOOK
PlaidBird Productions and the United Solo Theatre Festival will present "Bird Amongst the Blossom - A Tribute to the First Blossom Dearie Songbook" at THEATRE ROW'S STUDIO THEATRE (410 West 42nd Street, NYC) on Tuesday, November 15th at 9 p.m., featuring Jaye Maynard (vocals), Jon Delfin (musical director/piano) and Bill Pace (bass) as part of the 2nd Annual United Solo Festival. Maynard pays homage to the wisedup babydoll jazz stylings of the late Blossom Dearie, with Jon Delfin accompanying her on Dearie's own Yamaha Clavinova piano. Bill Pace plays bass as Maynard interprets "The First Blossom Dearie Songbook," containing songs written for and by her by Bob Dorough, Johnny Mercer, Dave Frishberg and of course Dearie herself. Dearie was a unique and inimitable singer whose legacy of material is fresh, hip, smart and sassy. Maynard styles her show in a mid Century modern cabaret both to entertain and to inform. UNITED SOLO THEATRE FESTIVAL (www.ustf.org) is an annual international festival for solo performances held in New York City. Tickets are $18 and are available for purchase at http://www.telecharge.com/ or at 212-239-6200.
