A beaming Michael Feinstein strode onto the stage to guide his audience through his 'Sinatra Project'. Two hours of beautifully performed songs from the Sinatra canon, backed by a 17 pce. band led by M.D. Billy Elliot ( no, not the dancer).
Highlight of the night, apart from gems like 'Small Hotel' and 'My Romance', had to be 'Begin the Beguine' set in a Nelson Riddle style arrangement. ( think of 'under my skin'.)
We were fortunate indeed to have such talent at the Sage.
Lets hope a return visit is on the cards.

Wasn't Diahann Carroll involved somewhere along the line?
