NYC: RYAN GREER IN "I COVER THE WATERFRONT" - PREMIERE OF NEW SHOW

NYC: RYAN GREER IN "I COVER THE WATERFRONT"

Jazz vocalist and bandleader, Ryan Greer, debuts his new show "I Cover the Waterfront" at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, November 27th and Monday, December 5th, both shows at 9:30 pm. Covering an evergreen selection of popular songs, surprising entries from "the most-covered standards of all time," Ryan Greer leads his new-generation trio - Alex DeZenzo on piano, John Feliciano on bass and Miles Moran on drums - through an intimate set of celebrated jazz standards. Ryan Greer is a self-producing artist in New York City whose body of work spans theater, dance and music—all rooted in jazz. He is Cofounder of Kinetic Dance Theater, since 1999 creating original dance, musical theater and cabaret works in venues including The Public Theater, Kraine Theater, TADA! Theater and Don't Tell Mama. Ryan finds creative catharsis as a vocalist and bandleader, dedicated to the legacy of the jazz standard. His unique arrangements of classic songbook compositions inventively manipulate tempo and chord progression while honoring the original intention of the legendary tunesmiths and their paramount songs. His vocal style, powerful yet contained, dynamically explores breathy, mellow nuance, taking inspiration from the full jazz lexicon: swing, bop, cool, post-bob and beyond. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
