Award-winning vocalist Celia Berk makes her Jazz at Kitano debut on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 with two sets at 8pm and 10pm. “Comes Love” is her new collaboration with pianist Sean Gough, which they debuted earlier this year in venues including Birdland Theater and the National Arts Club. Meeting at an intersection between jazz and cabaret, they have created a program of songs about the highs and lows and in-betweens of love, including the kinds of hidden gems by great songwriters such as Irving Berlin, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Billy Strayhorn which have become Celia’s trademark.Celia and Sean said, “This is a different type of collaboration for both of us, offering new musical challenges. Sean approaches popular songs mainly as an improviser, Celia through the lens of storytelling. Over time, the lyrics of the songs we chose began to guide both of us to unexpected musical places. We hope the audience will enjoy the discoveries we have made as much as we have.”Sean Gough is best known for his longtime collaboration with veteran bass player Gene Perla, with whom he has appeared across the United States and in Europe, including at Smalls and Zinc Bar. Since a young age, Sean has accompanied his grandfather, Metropolitan Opera tenor Ronald Naldi, in recitals. Celia and Sean will be joined by bassist Steve Doyle (Christine Ebersole, Chris Potter, Kurt Rosenwinkel) at this show.
A relatively new addition to the New York scene, Celia has released two acclaimed albums since 2015. You Can’t Rush Spring, Celia’s solo debut, earned a 2015 Bistro Award: Vocalist, 2015 MAC Award: New York Debut – Female, 2015 BroadwayWorld Award for Best New York Cabaret Debut, and The 2015 Margaret Whiting Award. Celia’s second album, Manhattan Serenade, received the 2017 LaMott Friedman Award. Rex Reed called her “one of the best singers I’ve heard in a long time,” and Stephen Holden said, “Ms. Berk made you feel about New York the same way a Cole Porter song makes you feel about Paris.” She has made memorable appearances at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and The Town Hall, and she is excited to make her Jazz at Kitano debut.

Those Girls like to sing harmony and there’s lots of it in this evening of music & humor! With songs from a wide mix of artists, eras and styles, Eve Eaton, Rachel Hanser, Karen Mack, and Wendy Russell are four singers who put their own twist on arranging things. A popular favorite with critics and audiences alike, this NYC based vocal group was chosen Best Vocal Group for both 2017 & 2018 by the Manhattan Assoc. of Clubs & Cabarets (MAC), and this May they made their Carnegie Hall debut.
Three of them like cats, one plays the recorder, all are fond of cookies, and one of them can recite almost all the lyrics to “Stairway to Heaven” backward. In heels. With fresh takes on everything from the Beatles to U2 to country classics & swing, a good time is a four-gone conclusion! ThoseGirlsSing.com

Come one! Come all! Come to the ball! or… Pangea… but it doesn’t rhyme. This month, Aaron Morishita and I reprise our Rosie/Marco “Carnival!” bit from May’s “Ricky Ritzel’s Broadway”. Also some music from my CD. Also some other songs. Also Tracy Stark and Tom Hubbard.

It’s so sad that I actually invited them all to the show. And they’re coming. Well, I haven’t asked my dermatologist. That relationship is still too new. See you at Pangea on the third tuesday, which is OCTOBER 15TH!!!
