Another swingin' night of great tunes with the Longest Running Nightclub Act on Broadway!
Terese Genecco teams up with West Coast Cool jazz vocalist and Platinum Selling Lyricist MARK WINKLER to play with their 7-piece *little big band* in a one-night-only concert event! Genecco hasn't performed in Los Angeles in over a year. Come see what's she's been up to as the now longest running nightclub act on Broadway!
San Francisco's reigning "Entertainer of the Year" returns to her all-time favorite West Coast Night Club, The Rrazz Room in The Hotel Nikko, (after two years as a headliner at the world-famous Iridium Jazz Club in New York City) to present her critically acclaimed tribute to Elvis Presley. Being hailed as the 'love child of Dean Martin & Judy Garland,' and now the 'longest running nightclub act on Broadway,' Terese Genecco is back to her home in the City by the Bay where it all began, this time bringing the award-winning Windham Hill Recording Artist/musical director/guitarist SEAN HARKNESS to accompany her brand new cabaret show, based on the holiday and debut albums of the King Of Rock-n-Roll. This will be a holiday home-coming for one of the Bay Area's favorites! You won't want to miss Genecco's return.
READ THE RECENT REVIEW FROM CABARET SCENES MAGAZINE in NYC:
Surprise! Terese Genecco, who has made a name for herself as the very good, good-time gal with the big band, bigger belt, biggest sassy-strut personality in town can do small. With just her band's invaluable guitarist, Sean Harkness for musical accompaniment, she shows her sensitive and rootsy sides as the two re-imagine all the songs from Elvis Presley's first album. Pre-icon status, Elvis' material was eclectic and proves to be quite adaptable to adventurous reshaping by this creative, magnetic pair. Her just-for-the-occasion jacket was bright white but her voice revealed new colors in the plaintive, moody and relaxed, simple country numbers. Playful with smaller-sized "Blue Suede Shoes," they were in step with the audience's anticipation of the more slowly-unspooled lyrics. They humanize the legend by doting on anectotes revealing his insecurities, maternal attachment and missed opportunities (narration needs tightening but is interesting). Nailing songs like "I've Got A Woman," we've got a woman capable of making us see Presley in a new, warm light. Guitarist Harkness, a gentle spirit and masterful player/arranger, is a true partner in the presentation. Some might have expected/wanted more assertive, carefree styles associated with classic Elvis (and "classic Genecco" whose monthly Iridium shows are packed with Rat Pack raucousness.) Sure, they might add a couple of rockers, especially if they break out from the Under The Covers series concept's assignment of doing one single album's cuts from start to finish, but talented Terese's stretch succeeds and delivers - with no stretch marks!" ~ Rob Lester, May 29, 2010
