Photo Coverage: Ann Hampton Callaway Celebrates Women Songwriters at Feinstein's 54 Below

For her annual Thanksgiving week show at 54 Below, Callaway crafted an exciting world premiere night of music centered on the songs of women songwriters who have inspired her. BroadwayWorld was there along with Michael Feinstein, Ginny Mancinni, Arlene Dahl, Clint Holmes, Marc Cherry and others. Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child," Carole King's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow?", and Dorothy Field's "The Way You Look Tonight" are among the gems carefully chosen by he Platinum-selling composer and lyricist. Classics by Peggy Lee, Joni Mitchell, and Cynthia Weil, as well as songs by friends Michelle Brourman and Amanda McBroom reflect the unique female perspective on love, life, and the pursuit of happiness.

Feinstein's/54 Below enjoyed moments of Ann at the piano singing the best of her original songs. Directed by Dan Foster and supported by her all-star trio -- Ted Rosenthal at the piano, Martin Wind on bass and Tim Horner on drums -- Ann is "Performer of the Year" Callaway's stirring night of song and story!
