II. ASMAC LUNCHEON FEATURING MICHAEL FEINSTEIN
The American Society of Music Arrangers and Composers
IS PROUD TO PRESENT
MICHAEL FEINSTEIN
Wednesday, October 17th – 11:30am cocktails; 12:00noon Lunch
at CATALINA’S in Hollywood
He really doesn’t need much introduction. Michael Feinstein, one of the premiere interpreters of American popular song, has been a household name since the success of his 1988 one-man Broadway show, ISN’T IT ROMANTIC! He enjoys an active performance calendar, including major concert halls, symphony orchestras, intimate jazz clubs and college campuses. More than a mere performer, he is nationally recognized for his commitment to the American popular song, both celebrating its art and preserving its legacy for the next generation.
Michael has just returned from a tour in Japan and is currently producing a CD for his friend Liza Minnelli based on the music of her godmother Kay Thompson, the famed author, singer and arranger. He will also host and serve as consultant on a new PBS film on vintage Hollywood “Soundies” and is producing a documentary feature on arts and society icon Kitty Carlisle Hart. He has written the score for a new stage music PERSPECTIVES.
His latest CD from Concord Records is Hopeless Romantics, a songbook of Harry Warren classics recorded with legendary jazz pianist George Shearing. He received his fourth Grammy Award nomination in 2003 for his Concord release, Michael Feinstein with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, his first recording with a symphony orchestra. The year before Rhino/Elektra Music released The Michael Feinstein Anthology, a 2-disc compilation spanning the year 1987 to 1996, featuring old favorites and previously unreleased tracks. Michael’s own record label, Finery, a new Concord subsidiary, released The Livingston & Evans Songbook, featuring he and special guest Melissa Manchester. His Manhattan nightclub, Feinstein’s at the Regency, has presented the top talents of pop and jazz such as Rosemary Clooney, Steve Tyrell, Barbara Cook, Tony Danza, Ann Hampton Callaway and Dame Cleo Laine – he’ll be back for his own personal sold-out holiday engagement later this year.
He’s been playing piano since he was five – from the Hollywood Bowl to Carnegie Hall… Join us and see what he’s up to this week. We’re excited to say he’ll be with ASMAC on October 17th.
