Kati Neiheisel: London by Night
An encore of a show featuring songs performed by Julie London, Billboard Magazine’s Female Artist of the Year in 1955, 1956 and 1957, and celebrating the 100th anniversary of her birth.
Kati Neiheisel presents an encore of London by Night, a tribute to Julie London, on Thursday, December 3 at 7pm, as part of Urban Stages Winter Rhythms. London, whose centennial was celebrated on September 26, 2026, was known for her smooth, smoky and sultry delivery of jazz-inspired tunes, many of which were written by her husband, jazz pianist Bobby Troup, best known for writing the song “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66.” London and Troup are also known for starring together in Emergency!, a television series (1972-1979) produced by London’s first husband, Jack Webb, of Dragnet fame. Directed by Lina Koutrakos, with musical director Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums, London by Night also features songs written by Carroll Coates, Arthur Hamilton, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Willie Nelson, and more. London by Night premiered at Pangea on August 24, 2024.
“Neiheisel brought her own style, so calm, so in charge, to this evening… Her finely-controlled vocals were a pleasure all by themselves. This is indeed a show worth celebrating.” ~ Bart Greenberg, NiteLife Exchange
