Mary Foster Conklin: I Dont Want the Night to End - the songs of Phoebe Snow,
With Tony Romano on guitar and Ed Howard on bass.
Mary Foster Conklin returns with I Dont Want the Night to End - the songs of Phoebe Snow, a tribute to the Grammy-nominee and New Jersey native singer/songwriter best known for her hits "Harpo's Blues" and "Poetry Man" who died too soon in 2011.
Without ever sounding like anyone but herself, Mary made me appreciate Phoebes soulfulness and scope like I never had before. A beautiful show in a beautiful room James Gavin
Vocalist Mary Foster Conklin is a tireless song seeker who has done many shows highlighting women writers both past and present and this is her latest take on the subject. She hosts a weekly radio show focused on women composers and lyricists called A Broad Spectrum the Ladies of Jazz on WFDU.FM HD2. A founding member of the Renegade Cabaret, Mary can be seen from time to time singing off various fire escapes as The Lady in the Red Dress. Her tribute to Beat poet Fran Landesman was praised by the New York Times as "full of salt and vinegar -- with the intensity and tough humor of someone who might have lived on the bohemian fringe in the late 40s and 50s, when the word hip meant something." Her latest CD, Photographs, a memory piece of standards and contemporary tunes, was released in 2016 to critical acclaim and worldwide airplay.

Scratch her witty tough-girl-from-Jersey patter and youll find a sensitive artist (but not frail) with a wide-ranging boldly colored voice and an open ear for off-beat material. The Washington Post
Her distinctive rich and dusky sound is completely captivating, conjuring up images of a film noir femme fatale. Jersey Jazz
A master of conveying world-weary bitter sweet emotions, tempered with an odd unlikely sense of optimism Jazz Music Archives
