A
LOOK BACK AT JOHNNY HARTMAN AT THE TRIAD
EVENT
CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS
Critically
acclaimed Chicago jazz vocalist Spider Saloff teams with legendary
pianist Tony Monte for a concert and retrospective of the life and
music of the great vocalist Johnny Hartman at THE TRIAD (158 West
72nd Street, NYC - 212-787-7921 - http://www.
Triadnyc.com/ ) on Friday, November 5th at 7:00 pm. Mr. Monte,
Hartman's long-time pianist, is the musical director. The concert
title "The Bridges of Johnny Hartman" suggests Hartman's career that
bridged pop and jazz music and incorporates the title of the film
"The Bridges of Madison County" which brought Hartman's recordings
back to the public ear. There is a $15 cover, $10 minimum. A portion
of this evening's profits go to ASPN (American Songbook Preservation
Network), a non-profit organization.
Author and jazz authority
Dr. Nick Catalano will make a very special appearance at the concert.
Mr. Catalano, the renowned Professor of Music and Literature at Pace
University, will read "Nightclub", the poem penned by Billy Collins
(America's Poet Laureate, 2001 - 2003). "Nightclub" was composed about
Hartman's signature tune "You Are Too Beautiful" (Rodgers and Hart)
and is a meditation on the meaning of the haunting lyric and Hartman's
venerable jazz ballads.
The event will include
Hartman's famous popular hits as well as classic jazz duets that Hartman
recorded with John Coltrane, all performed in a fresh format interlaced
with stories about Hartman's fascinating life and career.
