NOONTIME CABARET TODAY IN NYC: MIDTOWN JAZZ AT MIDDAY: LAUREL MASSE AT 1:00 pm
MIDTOWN JAZZ AT MIDDAY continues at ST. PETER'S CHURCH - SANCTUARY (619 Lexington Avenue, NYC - 212-935-2200) every Wednesday. This long-running series was created by Edmund Anderson and is now produced by Ronny Whyte. The show on Wednesday, May 28st features the Laurel Masse, singer & Tex Arnold, piano. Laurel Masse's career started with the founding of The Manhattan Transfer in 1972. With her expressive voice, clear diction and ready wit, the statuesque redhead left an indelible mark on the group. She toured internationally with the Transfer for seven years, recording four albums (certified gold and platinum). Ms. Masse also made numerous television appearances which included Mary Tyler Moore's 1974 television special "Mary's Incredible Dream", and in "The Manhattan Transfer Show" on CBS TV in 1975. In 1978, a near-fatal automobile accident cut short her tenure with the group. After nearly two years of convalescence, she resumed her career, as a solo artist. Her first recordings, "Alone Together" and "Easy Living", both made the Billboard Jazz charts; the third, "Again", was a People magazine pick. In 1999 Ms. Masse recorded "Feather and Bone", a vocal meditation on the Divine, which was described by the audiophile magazine The Absolute Sound as "a recording of extraordinary musical and sonic value." As a studio singer, Ms. Masse has appeared on CDs of many genres by artists including Tony Trischka, Barry Manilow, percussionist Layne Redmond, songwriter Carol Hall and former Manhattan Transfer cohort Janis Siegel. She was the creator and host of "The Laurel Masse Jazz Show" which ran for two years on WAMC Northeast Public Radio.Performances are at 1:00 pm, $10 donation.
