OAK ROOM (59 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-419-9331 -
http://www.algonquinhotel.com/
) for a month-long engagement from January 16th through February 10th
Her new show, "Good Girl/Bad Girl," will feature musical director
Lanny Meyers leading on piano and Yair Evnine on cello and guitar.
"Good Girl/Bad Girl" explores the emotional complexities of songs
written for both naughty and nice, and others open to interpretation.
It includes timeless standards by Jerome Kern ("The Folks Who Live
On The Hill"), Rodgers & Hart ("He Was Too Good To Me") and George
Gershwin ("Do It Again"), as well as more recent songs by Joni Mitchell
("Woman of Heart and Mind"), Stephen Sondheim ("I Know Things Now")
and Joan Baez ("Love Song To A Stranger").
Continuing a year of astonishing success, including
a spot on Entertainment Weekly's "Must List" and a feature segment
on NPR's "Morning Edition," Maude recently filmed her screen debut
in a new movie about composer Kurt Weill by director/actor/screenwriter
Robert Downey, Sr. She recorded a duet with Broadway and TV star
John Lithgow for his new CD, The Sunny Side of the Street, which
was just nominated for a Grammy Award. Maude will make her London
debut in February 2007 as part of Jeff Harnar's "American Songbook
in London" series at the JERMYN STREET THEATRE.
Her upcoming CD, Maude Maggart Live, will include
classic love songs such as "Skylark," "I Can't Get Started," "All
The Things You Are" and "The Song Is You," in addition to rarely-heard
vintage compositions by Kurt Weill ("The River Is So Blue"), Jerome
Kern ("Let's Begin") and Harry Warren ("Coffee in the Morning, Kisses
at Night"). Her latest CD, Maude Maggart Sings Irving Berlin, features
well-known standards from Berlin's catalog such as "The Song Is
Ended," "Always" and "What'll I Do" in addition to lesser known
songs such as "When I Leave The World Behind," "Slumming on Park
Avenue" and "Yiddisha Nightingale." Her recordings are available
at CDBaby.com.
