). The BROADWAY AT BIRDLAND series is presented by Jim Caruso's Cast
Party and TheaterMania.com, and features top theater and nightclub
stars and songwriters. Fresh from a week-long BIRDLAND run with New
York Voices, Peter Eldridge returns to the club for a set of his original
songs, standards and percussive Brazilian tunes that are romantic,
vulnerable and hip. He will be joined by singer/songwriter Kate McGarry,
and Jo Lawry.
Peter Eldridge has released three solo recordings: ñStranger in
Town,î characterized by its bittersweet swing and called the Best
Jazz CD of 2001 by Boston radio station WICN; ñFool No More,î full
of Peter's original compositions in a sophisticated pop style, released
in the same year (both on the independent label Rosebud Records);
and ñDecorum,î a 2005 release of originals. Peter is also a member
of the double-Grammy winning New York Voices, a vocal group he co-founded
with Darmon Meader, which has recorded six studio albums and toured
internationally for more than a decade, with appearances at Carnegie
Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and the Kennedy Center, among many others.
In addition, compositions by Mr. Eldridge have been included on
albums by other artists including Nancy Wilson and Jane Monheit.
He has also worked with Bobby McFerrin, Michael Brecker, Meredith
Monk, George Benson, David Byrne, Jim Hall, the Roches, Jonathan
Brooke, Bill Charlap, Betty Buckley and Joshua Redman among others.
