Singer Ron Kaplan keeps the flame burning brightly to illuminate jazz standards, the Great American Songbook and the classic sound of singers of the Fifties. The epitome of a "saloon singer," Kaplan has a rich, warm voice that literally cocoons the listener within the cozy atmosphere of images it creates.
In addition to his career as a concert performer and recording artist, Kaplan also is the founder and executive director of The American Songbook Preservation Society, a non-profit organization whose mission statement is: "To preserve our cultural treasure known as the Great American Songbook by performing this music at home and abroad as Ambassadors of Song." As to the future, Kaplan says, "I am deeply committed to performing these great standards and doing what I can to keep this music alive and viable for new generations of listeners."
This very special musical fanfare will feature classic songs distinctively and entirely about New York from his CD by the same title, and will be an evening to remember. Ron is delighted to bring this recording to Feinstein’s Loews Regency under the musical direction of Steinway Artist and New Yorker Pete Malinverni.
