Janis Siegel, nine-time Grammy winner and founding member of The Manhattan Transfer waxes rhapsodic about her beloved city in this very special jazz cabaret journey which she has curated for The Village Trip. Janis is ably assisted by two master musicians and together they will bring you a diverse collection of songs that are sophisticated, romantic and bittersweet, both vintage and modern, and full of heart and history\u2026 Just like New York City itself.<\/p>\n

While they will be performing a couple of the more popular songs referencing our great city, Janis and her friends will mostly be exploring hidden treasures such as Jerome Kern and P.G. Wodehouse’s “Nesting Time in Flatbush,\u201d Dave Frishberg’s poignant “Do You Miss New York?,\u201d and a couple of songs honoring Janis\u2019s home, the holy city of Brooklyn. She teases: \u201cI may even premiere a new vocalese to Errol Garner’s incredible reading of \u2018Stompin’ At the Savoy.\u2019 We’ll be taking the A-Train to meet you \u2018up on the roof\u2019 at this unique musical event saluting the greatest city in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Janis will be joined by pianist John di Martino and bass Boris Koslov.<\/p>\n
