Rosemary Loar When Harry Met The Duke
343 West 46th St, NYC 10036When Harry Met The Duke highlights the musical similarities these two geniuses shared. Born six years apart, both Harold Arlen and Duke Ellington were the sons of musicians and both began playing with a band while still only teenagers. These two men changed the course of American popular music, with influence that reached into jazz, nightclubs, musical theatre and film, and are pivotal figures of The American Songbook. Coming from widely divergent backgrounds, each man composed with elegance and sophistication, yet incorporated a visceral sense that has its roots in America’s blues tradition. Both men broke “the rules” of songwriting, not afraid to write challenging, unconventional melodies and unusual song structures.
“The show is well written, tightly paced, interesting, inquisitive, and enjoyable. Rosemary Loar is not only a formidable vocalist, but communicates with her audience, showing an openness one rarely observes. Arrangements are top notch, musicianship skilled and symbiotic.”Cabaret Scenes
“One of New York cabaret’s strongest jazz singers, the 2012 winner of the MAC Hanson Award for “Excellence in Cabaret”, her (Rosemary’s) erudite and accessibly sophisticated new show featuring wonderful jazz, pop, and Broadway songs from the 1930s-’50s goes down like a delicious vodka martini topped with a skewer of blue cheese-stuffed olives.”
