Marilyn Maye kicks off the fall holiday season with live shows at Feinstein's 54 Below in NYC

As has often been reported, Marilyn Maye appeared on the Tonight Show a record-setting 76 times and was Johnny Carson’s personal measure of excellence for any other singer who appeared on his show.  As a cabaret performer, it is not hyperbole to say she simply has no peer. She is the person that everyone who sets foot on a nightclub stage, sings a jazz riff, or dabbles in The Great American Songbook looks to for inspiration and instruction. There is no getting around it, Marilyn Maye is the undisputed gold standard.

Billy Stritch has always embodied a suave elegance that evokes another era before tuxedos were replaced by ripped jeans and before cocktail hour was replaced by Netflix binges. His encyclopedic knowledge of The Great American Songbook is prodigious. He not only knows all the songs, he knows the history of them all. He is as stylish as the great pianists of that era: Oscar Peterson, Marion McPartland, Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, and Dave Grusin. He is the upholder of a tradition that includes Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Doris Day, and Mel Tormé.

New York nightlife is making a slow and steady return to the City that Never Sleeps. One of the city's most famous jazz institutions, Birdland is making a long-anticipated return to live performances next week with one of New York's most elegant and beloved piano men, Billy Stritch. Birdland has been Stritch's artistic home base for nearly two decades. He has played for some of the biggest names in show business and has been a staple of Monday nights at Jim Caruso's CAST PARTY.

Birdland Jazz Club has announced that Grammy Award-nominated pianist, vocalist and songwriter Billy Stritch will return to the stage for an exclusive three-night engagement celebrating his new album Billy’s Place from Club44 Records with five shows from Thursday, August 5 through Saturday, August 7.

Show business tour de force and seven-time TONY Award-winning producer Jamie deRoy's long standing weekly program, aptly titled, Jamie deRoy & friends, announces the theme for this week's program, TONY Award Winners (Part 1).

Featuring new performers with every show, the weekly, award-winning Piano Bar Live! (PBL!) streams this Tuesday, June 22 at 7:15 pm ET, with host Scott Barbarino and guests Raissa Katona Bennett, Doris Dear, Terese Genecco and Deborah Stone, plus Mystery Guests and MORE!

It's Tony season every day for Jamie deRoy but for her viewers the Tony's will be topic on Monday, May 31st

54 Below Premieres took no chances when they put Marilyn Maye on the stage and told the cameras to roll, and it has paid off, big time. The legendary star shines as brightly as she did all seventy-six times she appeared on Carson.

The Ed Sullivan of our day continues her television show with more great material from her archives.

Rosemary Loar made her MetropolitanZoom debut last night to an impressive crowd from lands far and wide... and weren't they happy they tuned in.

Raissa Katona Bennett and a crackerjack artistic team put on a great show at Feinstein's at Loews Regency and had the good sense to record it for posterity. And for all of us.

For nearly a year Jamie deRoy has been bringing highlights from her past shows to the fans, and she's not about to stop now.

One of the lucky few who has been able to perform in public this year, Dawn Derow has also spent a little time working indoors. WHITE CHRISTMAS is the result of some of that work.
