Michael Feinstein Brings THE MUSIC OF MEL TORME to Jazz at Lincoln Center Next Month

Michael Feinstein, Jazz at Lincoln Center's Director of the Jazz & Popular Song series, brings back American Songbook classics for the sixth consecutive year. The second concert of the Jazz & Popular Song series, this performance is a dedication to Mel Tormé, an iconic songwriter called the "Velvet Fog" in reference to his enchantingly smooth voice. Tormé was a remarkable singer with the soothing sound of a classic crooner, deep musical sophistication, and emotional intensity in his treatment of melody.

Special guest vocalists include Billy Stritch and Ann Hampton Callaway - both of whom are award-winning stars and Great American Songbook masters - and the 20-year old newcomer Maddie Baillio, who recently played Tracy Turnblad in NBC's Hairspray Live! The Tedd Firth Big Band will round out this insightful, moving, and highly entertaining foray into the world of Tormé.

There will be three performances - Wednesday, January 3 at 7pm; and Thursday, January 4 at 7pm and 9pm - taking place in The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Frederick P. Rose Hall, located at Broadway at 60th Street, New York, NY.

Tickets prices start at $60 and can be purchased on jazz.org 24 hours a day or by calling CenterCharge on 212-721-6500, open daily from 10am - 9pm.
