Grammy Award Winning Vocalist Janis Siegel and Acclaimed Pianist/Musical Director Yaron Gershovsky

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Grammy Award Winning Vocalist Janis Siegel and Acclaimed Pianist/Musical Director Yaron Gershovsky .. We caught up with this duo to discuss the new 2024 CD The Colors of My Life – A Cy Coleman Songbook, their final show with the Manhattan Transfer, live shows and so much more about their decorated lives in music.  When The Manhattan Transfer performed its final concert at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall in December 2023, the event brought to a close one of the most storied chapters in vocal jazz history. Several months later, they evaluated the future. Over drinks at the bar following a Transfer concert several years earlier, they discovered that both had worked with the revered songwriter Cy Coleman. That was the beginning of a grand journey to getting the music made. Much of it during the pandemic that proved tricky, yet they are here to talk about it. Dig this story.
