Broadway leading lady Melissa Errico will perform her show Another Life, a tribute to French composer Michel Legrand, at Joe's Pub on Monday, February 13th at 7:30 PM.

 The concert will accompany a new CD--her second album. "After three years of appearing informally with legendary film/jazz/pop composer Michel Legrand in music and jazz clubs in NY and LA, Broadway songbird and Tony-nominee Melissa Errico continues her recording career with a collaboration with Michel Legrand who arranged and conducted a 100-piece symphony, produced by famed record producer Phil Ramone," state press notes.

Accompanied by a trio on Monday, Feb. 13th at 7:30pm, she will return to the Pub to perform songs from Another Life; they include Oscar-winning classics such as "The Summer Knows" and "Windmills of Your Mind," as well as new music and lyrics written for her by multiple-Oscar winning team of Legrand and the Bergmans. The evening will feature Clifford Carter on piano and David Finck on bass.

Errico first met Legrand when he cast her as Isabelle in Amour, a short-lived Broadway musical that has since developed a cult following. She was nominated for a Tony for Best Leading Actress, and began a friendship and collaboration with Legrand that has culminated in performances at Lincoln Center Jazz, the Oak Room, Joe's Pub, and Vibrato Jazz in LA- and now a romantic and sweeping symphonic album. Legrand arranged, conducted, played piano, sang two duets and wrote a new song for Errico called "In Another Life."

In past decades, Legrand (the films The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Ladies of Rochefort, Yentl) has only recorded a handful of solo pop vocal albums including ones with Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis and Lena Horne. Errico, who has also appeared on Broadway in Dracula, The Musical, High Society, My Fair Lady and Anna Karenina, debuted the symphony arrangements in a series of sold-out concerts at The Kennedy Center in November 2005 as the soloist with The National Symphony with Marvin Hamlisch conducting a program titled Salute to the Silver Screen.
