Frank Fontana with Wells Hanley Tickets: The New Cabaret Stage at Piccolo's Ristorante Natural Jazz -- Frank Fontana Live at Danny's
On Tuesday, June 28 and Wednesday, June 29, 2005, Frank returned to Danny's Skylight Room Cabaret. He performed his Natural Jazz set on both nights, a show which prompted one critic to write: "This show is a must for anyone who loves nature, beautiful songs and superb musicianship."
Joined once again by his friend and music director Wells Hanley, along with Eivind Opsvik on bass and Robby Sinclair on drums, Frank presented songs which speak of the natural world and our place in it -- words and music of Djavan, Duke Ellington, Stephen Sondheim, Alan & Marilyn Bergman, Richard Rodney Bennett, and many more. Both of these performances were recorded for release later this year as Frank's debut CD: Natural Jazz -- Frank Fontana Live at Danny's. We anticipate a CD release in early fall. If you were in attendance at either the June 28th or June 29th performance, please contact Manhattan Live Performance with the information printed on the coupon you received -- you'll receive a complimentary copy of the CD when it's released.
