Wesla Whitfield & THE MIKE GREENSILL TRIO
"We're in the Money": Songs From The Movies
Mike Greensill
Hollywood gave birth to some of the American Songbook's finest entries by such notable composers and lyricists as Harry Warren, "Yip" Harburg, Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer, Richard Whiting, Jimmy McHugh and Sammy Cahn. Hollywood also enlisted the great Broadway masters George and Ira Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart and Jerome Kern - to name but a few.
These stellar artists wrote the songs sung by such motion picture stars as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, Shirley Temple, The Marx Brothers, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and many more of the most beloved movie stars of the 20th century.Featuring the magical and original interpretations of vocalist Wesla Whitfield along with the swinging Mike Greensill Trio, "We're In The Money" presents the best of Hollywood's musical soundtracks including Over the Rainbow, Jeepers Creepers, A Kiss To Build A Dream On, The Boy Next Door and many more along with stories of the legendary performers who made these songs into the timeless and unforgettable tunes we all love. This is a show you won't want to miss! Join Wesla and Mike as they explore the scores of such movie gems as Meet Me In St Louis, An American in Paris, Bandwagon, The Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, Top Hat and many more. www.weslawhitfield.com/ "This wonderful singer thrills me when I hear her." ~Tony Bennett"Wesla Whitfield's back in town: the best cabaret singer in the world. She knows how to point up every lewd nuance in a Cole Porter lyric. But she can also swing as hard as Nat Cole, and her way with a torch song is as devastatingly unsentimental as Frank Sinatra at his late-50s best." ~Terry Teachout, New York Daily News"Wesla Whitfield is an indoor landmark. Every great city deserves a signature chanteuse, an San Francisco is fortunate to have Whitfield as its resident voice. Much like the city itself, Whitfield keeps an amused and affectionate eye on the glories of the past, while living entirely in the present. ~David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
