New York Stories: Great American Songbook

Michael Feinstein began his career as a bar pianist before he became personal assistant to Ira Gershwin, thereby gaining access to the Broadway elite. Since then he has distinguished himself not only as a musical anthropologist, an archivist with his own foundation, collection and TV documentary series, but also as a music teacher and interpreter. His recordings as a singer and pianist have sold millions of copies, and have already brought him five Grammy nominations.

In addition to his velvety voice, his perfect arrangements and his qualities as an entertainer, Feinstein is also known for the emotional depth of his interpretations. Even though the songs he presents have been heard countless times before, Feinstein breathes new life into them every evening.
