By Magda Katz***Last Sunday night, November 7, Linda Purl enchanted the sold-out crowd at the Birdland Theater, treating everyone to an evening tilted In the Mood: Songs for Jumping Back into Life! She delighted the audience with her elegant st
yle and grace, singing some old favorites such as Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Field’s “I’m in the Mood for Love”and many more standards about love and life.
Ms. Purl was joined on piano by Billy Stritch as well as Dave Finck on bass and Ray Marchica on drums. The outstanding trio was a perfect blend for Ms. Purl’s easy jazz style. Ms. Purl has also had an illustrious acting career in television and film. Her singing talent is the cherry on top of the entertainment sundae.
