Bistro, BroadwayWorld, MAC and Margaret Whiting Award winner Celia Berk returns to the Beach Cafe on Saturday, February 23rd with a special preview of her new collaboration with pianist Sean Gough. Together, they have created a program of songs about love, particularly including the hidden gems by great songwriters that have become Berk’s trademark. The collaboration combines Gough’s talent as an improviser with Berk”s skill for storytelling achieving a result somewhere between jazz and traditional cabaret.
Celia Berk has released two albums, garnered awards for her two solo cabaret shows at the Metropolitan Room, and made appearances at Carnegie Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center and The Town Hall. Sean Gough is best known for his more than decade-long collaboration with veteran bass player Gene Perla, with whom he has appeared across the United States and in Europe. From a young age he has accompanied his grandfather, Metropolitan Opera tenor, Ronald Naldi, in recitals. Gough’s writings have appeared in JazzTimes and on Ethan Iverson’s Do the Math and Do the Gig blogs.
