JANIS SIEGEL: AN EVENING OF 1000 BEAUTIFUL THINGS ... AND OTHER LOVE SONGS
SPECIAL VALENTINE'S SHOW Feb. 14

FEATURING GRAMMY NOMINATED PIANIST EDSEL GOMEZ, BEN STREET, BASS AND STEVE HASS, DRUMS

The Iridium Jazz Club is pleased to present a very special Valentine's Day show featuring nine-time Grammy winner (and seventeen-time Grammy nominee) and founding member of Manhattan Transfer vocalist Janis Siegel, Wednesday, February 14th sets at 8:30PM and 10:30PM.

Janis will be performing songs from her critically acclaimed Telarc CD A Thousand Beautiful Things. This recording, her ninth solo album, combines Siegel's impressive skills with a terrific selection of modern material and a band that features some of the hottest Latino musicians currently working in New York City, including rising star Edmar Casteneda on Colombian harp and Grammy nominated pianist/ arranger Edsel Gomez. A Thousand Beautiful Things spotlights the work of today's top singers and songwriters, including Bjrk, Nellie McKay, Stevie Wonder, Suzanne Vega, Annie Lennox, Fred Hersch, Norma Winstone, Paul Simon, Raul Midon, Danilo Perez, Lizz Wright, and Sam Phillips.

“'A Thousand Beautiful Things,' 'Love' and 'Make It Better' are the songs with the most pervasive statements of optimism about the world," says Siegel. “They say once again for the millionth time that love is all there is, that it is enduring and that it's the most important thing. The Annie Lennox tune in particular--and that's why I gave the title to the album--is just a really positive statement about looking at the glass as half full rather than half empty. And that every day you wake up, it's a good idea to write the list in your mind of a thousand beautiful things."
