WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In the premiere of Forever Moore the four-time Grammy-nominated
Melba Moore traces a remarkable musical journey reaching into the past and
leading to the present. Moore, who has had numerous chart-topping hits
throughout a long career, currently has a new number one on the
Billboard R&B charts. "Love Is," from her new CD of the same name, has
been holding on to the top ranking for four weeks and counting.
In Forever Moore, Moore reaches into the American Songbook for some
early influences, passes through her hit-making 70's (she was a Best
New Artist Grammy nominee in 1971) and opens it up with a treasure
trove of seminal R&B touchstones, culminating with her current hit
"Love Is." In the course of the evening Moore pays tribute to Ella,
Lena and Aretha, the sophisticated ladies whose profound influences on
her art and career she both acknowledges and celebrates. The music
director is Levi Barcourt.

At many moments during Melba Moore's invigorating new cabaret act at the Cafe Carlyle, Forever Moore, it's simply hard to believe that more than four decades have passed since she made her Broadway debut. But whether this show is your first experience with Moore or a visit with old friend, you'll be impressed not only with her youthful demeanor and apperance, but her musical versatily as well.
She serves notice immediately with a complex, jazz-tinged take on Iriving Berlin's "Blue Skies," before tearing into a trio of standards. She takes the second line of Duke Ellington's "It Don't Mean a Thing" literally by swinging the song hard; follows that tune up with an all-stops out rendition of[...]
