FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY will continue its Winter/Spring 2012 season with the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated singer and actress Gloria Reuben. This will mark the world premiere of her new show “Here’s To Life – The Songs of Shirley Horn” on Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3 at 8:00 PM. Accompanied by a trio and sometimes accompanying herself at the piano, Reuben will honor the late jazz legend with selections from “Here’s To Life” and “You’re My Thrill,” Horn’s landmark albums with arranger Johnny Mandel. The shows will take place at the Loews Regency Hotel (540 Park Avenue at 61st Street).
“Ms. Horn's unique and special style, so beautifully simple yet incredibly deep, affects me in a very personal way,” Reuben says. “It’s my hope to continue in that tradition of simplicity and depth by performing both love songs and swing songs in this very intimate space.”
