FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY, the nightclub proclaimed "Best of New York" by New York Magazine and "an invaluable New York institution" by The New York Post, will continue its all-star Spring 2010 season with the debut engagement of Grammy Award nominated vocalist MARILYN MAYE. Her recent local appearances have been received with rave reviews and full houses. In the New York Times, Stephen Holden said "Ms. Maye is one who dives into jazz and sings with a vocal stamina remarkable for any performer of any age".

Elli Fordyce will be performing live at The Metropolitan Room in New York City on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 at 7:30pm, in support of her most recent CD release, "Songs Spun of Gold." Featured will be Elli's Grammy-honored jazz vocals with the album's luminous musicians, led by Jeremy Manasia on piano, with Aaron Heick on alto and flute, Ratzo Harris on bass, Phil Stewart on drums, Samuel Torres on percussion and Jim Malloy singing on the duets.

Carroll), comes in, followed by the butler, Fred (Joseph O'Neil in what looks to me like an homage to the great Tommy Steele)
