Caterina's Concert Review - June 27, 2005

I just finished revising and updating the listings for this issue, and if you look way down near the bottom, among the Australia listings, you will note that the legendary Australian jazz/cabaret vocalist Janet Seidel is performing at THE DOUBLE BAY WOODFIRE CABARET RESTAURANT. She sells out the room whenever she appears there. I have great news for folks in NYC: you can see and hear Ms. Seidel this coming Sunday, July 2nd, at 4:00 pm at CATERINA'S (316 East 53rd Street, NYC 212-355-5360 - )! Interestingly enough, the cuisine at the WOODFIRE is Hungarian - at CATARINA'S it is Hungarian/Italian.

I was at the show yesterday, and it was totally thrilling. Ms. Seidel's vocals are incredible. I know that once you hear this lady perform you will become and instant fan. People were leaving the club after the show with stacks of CDs. I urge you, if you, like I, stay in town on holiday weekends, to head over to the east side at 4:00 pm on Sunday. This week Ms. Seidel will play a shortened version of the Doris Day tribute show that was so popular in Australia.
