Kati Neiheisel: London by Night

Kati Neiheisel returns to Pangea in a new show featuring songs sung by Julie London, Billboard Magazine’s Female Artist of the Year in 1955, 1956 and 1957. London 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. The show is directed by Lina Koutrakos, with musical director/arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums. (The September 26th show coincides with Julie London’s 98th heavenly birthday; The October 18th show coincides with Bobby Troup’s 106th heavenly birthday.)

“Honey-voiced Kati is building up a reputation…using that gorgeous (no, really gorgeous) instrument to carry the audience away on a river of melody…” ~ Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld Cabaret
