WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and actress Nellie McKay celebrates the release of her latest CD, Normal As Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris Day.
Normal As Blueberry Pie - which "ranks among the killer overhauls of American standards, with sharply original arrangements," according to The New York Times - features 12 songs handpicked from over 600 recordings of Ms. Day's, as well as an original by McKay. The album bridges the big band era of the '40s from "Sentimental Journey" to "Dig It" with Day's later film career from "The Very Thought of You" from Young Man With a Horn to "Send Me No Flowers" from the film of the same name.

It's a funny thing about acquired tastes. Once acquired, they don't necessarily sustain. For example, I thought I'd acquired a taste for Nellie McKay and her off-handed jazz approach to singing, but while watching and listening to Nellie McKay: Normal as Blueberry Pie: A Tribute to Doris Day, now at Feinstein's at Loews Regency, I slowly but increasingly began to realize I had acquired less tolerance for her careless performing skills and her trouble staying on pitch and reaching high notes than others in the packed opening-night house appeared to.
The show is also a decidedly non-traditional tribute to Day. After opening with Day's 1945 establishing "Sentimental Journey" -- and then i[...]
