About the Event
Join jazz vocalist and storyteller Mary Foster Conklin, as she performs at the Coffee House and Salmagundi Club, accompanied by Janice Friedman on piano.
Praised as “a potent advocate for women in jazz,” NYC based Mary Foster Conklin hosts a weekly radio show called “A Broad Spectrum – the Ladies of Jazz” celebrating women composers and lyricists on WFDU 89.1 FM based at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey, streaming on the HD2 Channel at http://www.wfdu.fm.
As a vocalist, her shows are a mix of old and new music, with an emphasis on the lesser known tunesmiths who deserve a second listen like Matt Dennis, Bob Dorough, Beat poet Fran Landesman and the dark art songs of rock and roll icons Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Her fifth and most recent recording THESE PRECIOUS DAYS (MockTurtle Music) was praised as “a treasure” by JAZZLIVES and “A winning new collection of songs… by a vocalist equally effective on suspects usual and otherwise,” JAZZTIMES.
