Feinstein's at Loews Regency, the nightclub proclaimed “Best of New York” by New York Magazine, and “an invaluable New York institution” by The New York Post, continues its 10th Anniversary season with the solo debut of four time Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter Jimmy Webb. Accompanying himself on piano, Webb will perform and tell the stories behind his greatest hits such as "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," and "MacArthur Park." He will also introduce lesser known gems from his vast career as one of America’s greatest songwriters.
Jimmy Webb – the only artist to ever receive Grammy awards for music, lyrics and orchestration – has written landmark songs such as "Didn't We,” "Worst That Could Happen," All I Know" and "The Moon's A Harsh Mistress" that have been recorded by major recording artists from Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand to Reba McEntire, Linda Ronstadt and R.E.M. JIMMY WEBB is a member of the NAPM Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame, and he is the 2003 recipient of the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award. The National Academy of Songwriters gave Jimmy their Lifetime Achievement Award and “By The Time I Get to Phoenix” has been the 3rd most performed song in the last 50 years.
Frank Sinatra, Glenn Campell, Joan Baez, Art Garfunkel, The Righteous Brothers and Judy Collins are just a few who have recorded his music. Frank Sinatra declared “By The Time I Get To Phoenix” as “the greatest torch song ever written,” and said he enjoyed singing Jimmy Webb tunes because “he has been blessed with the emotions and artistic talent of the great lyricists.”
As a performer, Webb has released several solo albums including his 1993 album, Suspending Disbelief – produced by Linda Ronstadt and George Massenburg – which received enormous critical acclaim, and led New York Times critic Stephen Holden to state that this album, “may very well be the songwriter’s perfect moment.” Ten Easy Pieces is a collection of the songwriter’s hits as he performs them the way they were originally written.
In 2007 Webb released his first live CD, Live and At Large, and is currently working on an album with his sons, "The Webb Brothers," as well as beginning preparation for a new solo effort. Webb has also added his inimitable genius to a number of film and television projects beginning in 1968 with the title song “Montage” for the James Garner-Debbie Reynolds comedy, How Sweet It Is! followed by a dazzling score for the highly successful animated film The Last Unicorn. Webb also collaborated with Alan Silvestri for Twentieth Century’s 1992 release, Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest, recorded by Sheena Easton.
