It was a nostalgic evening as we ushered in the theme, "The days of Wine and Roses." Behind the piano tonight was our Guest Host, the Multiple MAC Award Winner Bill Zeffiro!
Our Co-Host was Vocalist & Bandleader Sarah Hayes! She burst onto the stage with humor and sass in her rendition of "The Lady is a Tramp." For her mid-show set, she and Bill started with the charming duet, "How About You." They than sang the title song of the evening, "The Days of Wine and Roses" giving us a sense of yearning. She capped that off with the title song from the Audrey Hepburn/Albert Finny movie, "Two for the Road." To compete the evening, Sarah quipped that
the person profiled in the final song probably had a lot of roses thrown her way for being so popular - "Sweet Georgia Brown."
Sarah joins Bill Zeffiro at La Rivista – 313 West 46th St, NYC 10036 - every Monday 8pm-12am and also Friday, December 1st & Friday, December 8th 8pm-12am. Sarah performs with her jazz trio at Jacques Brasserie – 204-206 East 85th St, NYC 10028 – every Thursday 9pm-12:30am and at Swing 46 – 349 West 46th St, NYC 10036 - on Sunday, December 10th 8:30-10:30pm.

Salon Spotlight
Our Salon Spotlight featured MAC & Bistro Award Winner Janice Hall, with Matthew Martin Ward on piano! Janice sang songs from her upcoming solo show, starting with a tongue-in-cheek rendition of the Cake rock song, "Opera Singer" mashed up with the Barry Levitt/Peter Napolitano tune, "The Story Is My Song." She then gave us another amazing mashup, this time with Matthew joining her on vocals with "Who Could Ever Have Dreamed Up You" (from Maury Yeston's Phantom) and Noel's Coward's "Room With A View." She finished her set with a stunning and dramatic, "Je Suis Malade" which blended both French and English lyrics and ended with a powerful belt.

Quick Wrap - Zeff's Corner
As bill sat down to give us "Zeff's corner" he informed us the the theme, "The days of Wine and Roses" could only mean three things to him: Saloon Songs, Drinking, and Bad Romantic Stories at 3am. So with that, he gave us three entertaining numbers which he sang and played at the piano. He started with what he called the country version of "On for My Baby" called "The King Is Gone." Next, he gave us a delicate and contemplative, "Saloon Song", the Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer hit. To close out Zeff's Corner, he shared a song he wrote while having drinks with Marissa Mulder, called, "As Long As We're Loaded," throughout which he asked the audience to sing along!
You can catch Bill every Monday & Wednesday 8pm-12am at La Rivista – 313 West 46th St, NYC 10036. His CD of original tunes BETTER THAN NOTHING is available on itunes & cdbaby.com and a Cast Recording of his Original Musical THE ROAD TO RUIN will follow soon.
