Betty Buckley & Kenny Werner Music - Review - New York Times
Kenny Werner is performing with Betty Buckley
from February 12th through February 24th
in New York City
at Feinstein’s at Loews Regency,
540 Park Avenue at 61st Street.
Here’s a bit from a recent New York Times article:
“Few if any singers with Ms. Buckley’s Broadway background have ventured so fearlessly into jazz. Especially when she uses her piercing, steely voice to belt, her sound and style are decidedly un-jazz-like. She doesn’t swing in any conventional sense. Yet her fusion of theatrical grandeur with open-ended pop-jazz arrangements, which elongates songs into iconoclastic think pieces, is wildly ambitious and never less than fascinating.
This fusion is a product of Ms. Buckley’s increasingly daring collaboration with her longtime musical director, the pianist Kenny Werner, who is joining her on Feb. 12 for the last two weeks of her engagement.”
