BARBARA
FASANO'S HAROLD ARLEN TRIBUTE RETURNS TO DUPLEX
Following
her successful and critically acclaimed run this summer, award-winning
pop/jazz vocalist Barbara Fasano returns to THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE
(61 Christopher Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/
) with her unique and intimate take on the life and work of songwriter
Harold Arlen, whose centennial is in February 2005. Joining Fasano
will be jazz pianist John di Martino, who, in addition to his work
as a leader, has performed and recorded with Grady Tate, Ray Barretto
and the late vocalist Sylvia Syms. "i had a love once: arlen songs"
returns with an extended engagement, beginning Tuesday, October 19th
and 26th and running Tuesdays throughout November, at 7:00 pm. There
is a $20 music charge and a 2-drink minimum.
Arlen (1905-1986) was
the composer of standards such as "Over the Rainbow," "Come Rain or
Come Shine," "The Man That Got Away," "Accentuate the Positive," and
the scores of A Star Is Born, House of Flowers, and, most famously,
The Wizard of Oz. Arlen's collaborators included Johnny Mercer, E.Y.
"Yip" Harburg, Ted Koehler, Leo Robin and Truman Capote, all of whom
will be represented in the show. While Fasano will sing some of the
standards Arlen wrote, she will also bring to light some intriguing
rarities, including the evening's title song, for which Arlen wrote
the lyric, and which is believed to be his last work.
Ms. Fasano is a two-time
Back Stage Bistro Award winner (Outstanding Vocalist, Outstanding
Recording: THE GIRLS OF SUMMER) and a MAC Award nominee. Her engagements
have taken her from The Oak Room at The Algonquin Hotel and Town Hall
in New York to The Cinegrill in Los Angeles.
