NYC: JANE SCHECKTER AT CAFE NOCTAMBULO WITH BOBBY SHORT TRIBUTE
Jane Scheckter will bring a newly revised version of her tribute show "Jane Scheckter Loves Adores Misses Bobby Short" to CAFE NOCTAMBULO AT PANGEA (178 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-995-0900) on Thursdays April 2nd, 9th and 16th and 7:00 pm. Originally presented at 88s in 1996 as "Jane Scheckter Loves Adores Bobby Short", this show will mark the tenth anniversary of Bobby Short's passing. The program features many signature Bobby Short songs, as well as lesser-known works he performed during his remarkable career. Many of the arrangements are inspired by Short's charts and earned high praise from him when he came to see the show on opening night in 1996. He was inadvertently caught on Jane's performance tape, talking to the people at his table, telling them, "I adored it. It was adorable. It was a valentine to me". Jane will be supported by the trio of Tedd Firth, musical directo; Jay Leonhart on bass; and Peter Grant on percussion. The show is directed by Eric Michael Gillett. Jane is a Bistro Award winner for female vocalist and a five-time MAC award nominee. There is a $20 cover plus a $20 food/drink minimum.
