Note from Eric:
"Dear friends --
Manhattan Masters wrapped up one week ago, and I thank
you for supporting a thrilling month of music for me. All four shows were
gratifying in different ways: putting a soulful spin on the theater music of
Charles Strouse; enjoying a heady and
hilarious evening of the love lyrics of Yip Harburg;
reveling in the sheer melodic beauty of Jule Styne's tunes; and saluting colleagues in saloon
singing and songwriting.
I had essential help from musicians such as 2007 NEA Jazz Master Frank Wess on
reeds, Sean Smith & Peter Washington on bass, and Vito Lesczak on drums. Charles Strouse
sat in sensationally on opening night, and broke our hearts with
"Once Upon A Time". John Wallowitch
sang his wonderful songs as only he can on the closing weekend, with
a powerful "Mary's Bar". At all four shows, Barbara Fasano (whose new CD WRITTEN IN THE STARS has just
been selected "Outstanding Recording" by the Back Stage
critics) was a special muse and presence. No one who attended the final show
will forget the way she opened the evening with "One For My Baby" ...
or her knockout leather outfit. Barbara returns to The Metropolitan
Room with a new set on Sunday, March 18.
The Metropolitan Room, led by Lennie
Watts, was a terrific place at which to launch these new projects, and it
was exciting that some of the writers and their families were in
attendance: lyricist Roger Schore,
composer/lyricist Francesca Blumenthal, Ernie Harburg,
and Cam Walter and Mark Walter among them.
In all, I can't wait to bring these shows back, nor
could I have enjoyed such a successful season without the folks above ... and
YOU.
Gratefully,
Eric
P.S. Special thanks to my fellow compulsives who
caught all four!
