New York City
Jack Donahue and his band, led by Randy Ingram (piano), perform songs from the new CD, A Small Blue Thing (Two Maples Music).
Of Donahue’s last recording, Christopher Loudon of JAZZ TIMES wrote, “It’s not every singer who can handle the carousel ebullience of Kenny Rankin’s ‘Haven’t We Met,’ the retro bounciness of ‘You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby,’ the saucy innuendo of Cole Porter’s ‘Let’s Do It,’ the inky grandeur of Kurt Well’s ‘Lost in the Stars,’ and the cheeky familiarity of Jay Leonhart’s cocky ‘Robert Frost’ with parallel aplomb. Donahue can.” Jack will be joined by Matt Clohesy on bass, Jared Schonig on drums, Marcus Parsley (trumpet), and 2-time Grammy winning guest vocalist Peter Eldridge.
