Libby Swings Mercer: A Celebration of Lyricist Johnny Mercer

  • Williams Hall 729 Fleming Street Key West, FL, 33040 United States (map)

Vocalist Libby York, who the New York Times calls "a jazz singer of cool composure and artful subtlety" presents an evening of timeless classic songs by the great Johnny Mercer. York's been praised as a storyteller  "... spotlights her membership in a generation of jazz singers...including Sandy Stewart, Mary Stallings and Carol Sloane...who could wrap themselves around  a lyric and, with a deep dive, tell a powerful story." NYC Jazz Record. Her latest album "DreamLand" (Origin Records) was among Downbeat Magazine's best of the Year. www.libbyyork.com

Additionally, we're providing limited tickets for an exquisite 4-course dinner by Chef Martha Hubbard upstairs at Unity Table, after the show with special guest Libby York. Join us for an evening of music, community, and culinary delight!

 

“A jazz singer of cool composure and artful subtlety”

– The New York Times

 

“York’s voice is splendid, but it’s the vigor and judgment of her storytelling

that makes this one rather special.” 

DownBeat 4 1/2 stars

 

“York’s tone and emotional acuity often bring Rosemary Clooney to mind,

which is a very good thing indeed.”

JazzTimes
