Jeff Macauley Brings HOLLYWOOD PARTY: MOVIE SONGS 1928-1936 to Pangea NYC

Songs from when the movies first learned to sing -- Thursday, November 30th 7pm

You didn't miss the party! "Hollywood Party: Movie Songs 1928-1936" happens one more and you're most definitely invited. I hope to see you in Pangea's lovely supper club Thursday, November 30th at 7pm. Reserve here. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

It's been 90 years since Al Jolson warned us that "You ain't heard nothin' yet!," and then burst into song in "The Jazz Singer," announcing that the Hollywood Party was on. The movie musical giddily made itself up as it went along giving us timeless tunes and stars amid the taps and two-strip technicolor. From Janet Gaynor charmingly strumming a zither and a bevy of writhing earth-scorching bathing beauties turning up the heat in 1929's "Sunny Side Up" to an unmatched peak of sophisticated artistry from Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fields in "Swing Time," just seven years later, Hollywood Party remembers the first musical film stars and their songs, including beloved standards and long-forgotten tunes from songwriters De Sylva, Brown, & Henderson, Herman Hupfeld, Herb Nacio Brown, Richard Rodgers, Yip Harburg, Jay Gorney, Lorenz Hart, Richard Whiting and others writing for Jeanette MacDonald, Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, and Bing Crosby at the beginning of their legendary film careers.

Jeff Macauley has been singing in clubs from Los Angeles to New York since 1990. Jeff was nominated for a 2017 and 2016 MAC Award for Male Vocalist and has been nominated for several BroadwayWorld.com cabaret awards for his shows "It Was Me: The Lyrics of Norman Gimbel," "Mr. Lucky: The Songs of Henry Mancini," and "Le Grand Tour: The Music of Michel Legrand." In 1998, Jeff received Backstage Magazine's Bistro Award for Outstanding Theme Show for "MWAH! The Dinah Shore Show" which was successfully revived in 2016 in honor of Miss Shore's centenary. "It Was Me: The Lyrics of Norman Gimbel," is also available as a studio recording at cdbaby.com and through iTunes and Amazon.
