David Rose sings the Great American Songbook

Feb 3, 2019

David Rose
Feinstein’s / 54 Below
254 West 54th St
Tuesday, February 5

No, not the late conductor and composer who was also the first husband of Judy Garland. This David Rose is a young German singer (of Romani extraction) firmly steeped in the Great American songbook who is generally considered the best traditional-style crooner in all of modern Europe. A devoted Sinatraphile, Mr. Rose favors the young Frank of the Tommy Dorsey and Axel Stordahl years, when the voice of the Voice had a remarkable purity virtually unheard of in the last 80 years or so … until the emergence of Herr Rose. Although he’s recorded in New York, this show at 54 Below will mark his debut in an American club, and he has an all-star “local” band for the occasion, featuring pianist Ted Firth, bassist Rob Adkins, guitarist Vinny Raniolo, and saxophonist, clarinetist and music musical director Dan Levinson.
