In their many years in show business, Lin has done it all (almost) from singing, dancing, acting, choreographing, and directing to stage management, wardrobe assistant, company manager, usher, and box office supervisor. Having traveled the world working onstage and backstage, as well as in the audience, Lin has been able to contrast and compare the myriad styles of expression in music, song, and dance. Being a lover and student of the arts, the years have honed their critical eye. Lin has developed a desire to support any artist in their creation and/or interpretation of the form. It is their pleasure to be afforded the opportunity to witness so many established and new artists as they take the stage in front of the most discerning audiences in the world, New Yorkers, and the tourists who are beginning to come back to our fair Mecca.
BWW Review: A SWINGING BIRDLAND CHRISTMAS is just that at Birdland

This close to the big day, you might already be flagging in your enthusiasm for the traditional old songs and carols attached to the upcoming holiday. Have no fear! There is an alternative. Birdland's 12th iteration of A Swinging Birdland Christmas will reinvigorate that waning spirit. The trio of Klea Blackhurst, Billy Stritch, and Jim Caruso, along with Steve Doyle on bass and Daniel Glass on drums, takes us on a bouncing ride through many tunes, most of which we layfolk won't know by rote. That's what makes this an extraordinary holiday offering. Eventually, we learn the reasons for quite a few song choices in this presentation... from movie musicals and the nostalgia for the TV Christmas specials of the 60s and 70s such as Andy Williams, The Osmonds, Cher. It is an aesthetic that is completely authentic to the artists on the stage, Misters Caruso and Stritch, and Ms. Blackhurst.
