A Dying Breed of Crooners

Submitted by David Bowerman (from England), Jan 1, 2008 07:22

One of my delights of recent years has been the luxury of dropping into the bar at the Pierre of an evening and listening to Kathleen Landis. My occasional visits to NY give me the opportunity to hear this remarkable musician demonstrate her natural charm,with a command of pianistic dexterity, melody, perfect harmony and vocal beauty. As a lover of classical music, it is so refreshing to hear someone who knows how to address the "lighter" side of music with such distinction.

Would someone please inform me where I can hear her play, now that she has left the Pierre. This charming performer should be heard by a much wider audience.
