Fine Interpretations of the Great American Song Book.
Marlene VerPlanck returns to the Bonington for an unmissable evening of jazz standards. She has almost everything one could ask for in a singer of classic American songs: a gorgeous, musically pliable sound, a solid understanding of the linkages between words and story, a sure and steady feel for rhythm. In her early career she worked as a backing singer for Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Tony Bennett, emerging as a leading solo performer in the 1970s, playing Carnegie Hall to rave reviews. Her previous appearances at the Bonington have been extremely well received and it is a pleasure to have her back. John Pearce, Paul Morgan and Bobby Worth provide superlative accompaniment. "She may be the most accomplished interpreter of popular material performing today...interpretive sensitivity and perceptive choice of songs that can be matched only by a handful of singers." The New York Times
