BWW Review: MICHAEL FEINSTEIN: SUMMERTIME SWING! Is a Lesson in Showmanship at Feinstein's 54 Below
by Ricky Pope
- Aug 28, 2021
I’m happy to report that SUMMERTIME SWING! is perfectly on-brand. Mr. Feinstein delivers some finely crafted gems from the Great American Songbook with his trademark energy and showmanship. I have seen Feinstein mostly in larger venues, and so the surprising element in this show was to see how intimately he engaged his audience in the cozier quarters of 54 Below. It was truly like being invited into his home. He had some expert help with the party. Mark McClean on drums and David Finck on bass are fantastic musicians. Tedd Firth on the piano was positively on fire in his creativity. The trio was a jazz lover's dream. It is a delight to hear musicians of this caliber do what they do.
BWW Review: The Fabulous LINDA EDER Returns to Feinstein's/54 Below
by Chris Struck
- Mar 10, 2020
Eder's ability to blend a tight belt with an operatic trill as easily as she breathes makes for one heck of a thrill. I could highlight any two or three songs, and they would have been a pair of the cleanest, most tightly rehearsed pieces one could see. Eder's songs aren't the only thing that's great. Her shows are great.

Photo Coverage: Tedd Firth Trio & Broadway Guest Artists at the Birdland Theater

- Jan 16, 2019
The Tedd Firth Trio started January 2019 off in true genius form with a week of performances for their debut at the Birdland Theater on West 44th St. in NYC.
The show had Mr. Firth taking control of the mic and hosting an evening of exciting music featuring Tedd Firth on Piano, David Finck on Bass, and Mark McLean on Drums. Each of the 4 nights of performances also featured a different guest artist singing a few tunes from their repertoire...songs sung in their own solo shows so often accompanied by Mr. Firth.
