NYC: ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY "FROM SASSY TO DIVINE: A CELEBRATION OF SARAH VAUGHAN" CLOSES TONIGHT
Singer/songwriter Ann Hampton Callaway returns to DIZZY'S CLUB AT JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER (33 West 60th Street, NYC - 212-258-9800) to pay tribute to NEA Jazz Master and GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner Sarah Vaughan, the singer to whom Callaway is most often compared. Performances are Thursday through Sunday, May 2nd through 5th, with shows at 7:30 & 9:30 pm. Callaway takes the comparison as a compliment, having already demonstrated her comfort with several daring, assured, and well-received tributes to her influences and contemporaries; from covers of classic ballads that already have decades-old "definitive" renditions, to the "Streisand Songbook," Callaway knows how to add her own voice to a wide range of popular repertoire. Recently Callaway won her 15th MAC Award for her show the "Streisand Songbook". For these performances, song selections may include "Like Someone in Love," "Misty," "There Will Never Be Another You," and "A Night in Tunisia." Callaway will perform her long-time Musical Director/pianist Ted Rosenthal, bassist Dean Johnson, and drummer Tim Horner. Ann Hampton Callaway, one of the leading champions of the great American Songbook, has made her mark as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, educator, TV host and producer. She's written over 250 songs including two Platinum Award winning hits for Barbra Streisand and the theme for the hit TV series "The Nanny." This year, Ann has taken the symphony world by storm with her tribute to her legendary mentor in "The Streisand Songbook" which she premiered with The Boston Pops and will be touring nationwide through 2013. Ann has recorded 12 solo CD's including the celebrated "At Last" and is a guest artist on over 45 CDs. There is a $40-$45 cover.copyright 2011-13 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE - YOU ARE WELCOME TO POST YOUR COMMENTS BELOW
