Spider Saloff, the image of a modern day “flapper “, captures the jazz age in her celebration of Cole Porter. He was the toast of the jazz age and the ultimate party animal, Cole Porter! The concert features a collection of music from the composer/lyricist that has remains timeless to this day.
Saloff creates a wildly fun yet perceptive look into the life of the controversial genius and major figure of the American Songbook. Porter classics will be presented but Saloff with a contemporary twist but with a flare of the 1920’s and 30’s.
Song choices will range from the familiar to the obscure. And the tales of Porter’s personal life are told with wit detail. It is a tribute to Porter that is beyond compare!
Swell Party can be presented with piano and voice, with trio, quartet or quintet. And can be presented in a select program for full symphony orchestra.
Featured songs:
Night and Day
So in Love
I’ve Got You Under My Skin
You’d Be So Nice to Come Home To
Everytime We Say Goodbye
“If there is a greater, more electric and sensitive singer on the planet than Spider Saloff, my ears eagerly await.”
