Basia - Basia On Broadway: Live At The Neil Simon Theatre flac album

Recorded over two nights at the Neil Simon Theatre in November, 1994, Basia on Broadway is not only a wildly entertaining record of the artist's energetic live presence, but also a solid overview of her best-known work. Basia, much like Sade and Swing Out Sister, specializes in an engaging mix of jazz and pop. Before embarking on a solo career, Basia had a brief stint in the band Matt Bianco with musician Danny White. White has been Basia's "silent partner" ever since, co-writing and producing her material as well as playing keyboards

The packed house at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ on Sunday, April 2, 2017 excitedly awaits the start of Neil Berg’s 101 Years of Broadway, a star-studded salute to music of the Great Whit. And that’s exactly what Berg created - a show where he could sit at the piano and provide his audiences with intriguing personal anecdotes and history about various performers and shows; then, he could follow up each of those introductions with performances highlighting some of the most thrilling moments in musical theater history. And joining Berg for all of his Broadway concerts is his talented wife, Rita Harvey. Harvey studied opera at Simpson College and received her Masters degree from Northwestern. She made her Broadway debut in the leading role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera,.

Incidentally, 'Basia on Broadway' contains a great percentage of her 'hits', so to speak, and the live recording captures the vigor inherent in all her wonderful performances. I had the great pleasure of being at the concert the evening Basia recorded this in NYC. Such a wonderfully talented performer. The CD brought back many beautiful memories.
