Terese Genecco: Drunk with Love - A Jazzy Tribute to Frances Faye
"Is it cabaret? Is it jazz? Is it rhythm and blues? When Terese Genecco sings, it's all of the above, but more than that, it's a party. Her high-voltage performance is happy, hearty and hell-raising.- NYC critic Rob Lester of TalkinBroadway.com.
Terese Genecco leapt into prominence in the Bay Area music scene by grabbing the Entertainer of the Year honors at the 2003 San Francisco Cabaret Competition. The fan-pleasing Genecco was soon a hit with nightclub audiences in the Bay Area and New York City alike. In 2005 she debuted her smash solo show, Drunk with Love: A Tribute to Frances Faye during a five-week run at San Francisco's New Conservatory Theatre.
Frances Faye was a fabulous, fiesty nightclub/saloon singer who hit her peak in the late thirties in New York's swankiest supper clubs, and played to sold out crowds all over the world through the seventies, and Genecco is just the performer to do justice to the music and legacy of this cherished, one-of-a-kind legend.
In recognition of her accomplishment, this year Genecco was nominated for a MAC Award, a lofty honor bestowed by the prestigious Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs.
Genecco brings a high-energy jazz-concert version of =Drunk With Love to Pearl's, backed by a swinging 8-piece ensemble, as she explores the improvisational, jazz dimension of the great songs that the indomitable Frances Faye made her own.
One of the most engrossing, all-out talented performers I've seen in years.
- Gene Price, San Francisco Bay Times
Terese Genecco is a class-four hurricane. A truly rare performer and a drop-dead delight.
- Peter Leavy, Cabaret Scenes Magazine
As these raves attest, Terese Genecco is an accomplished, heady performer, a stage-tested young veteran. She graduated from Syracuse University's College of Visual and Performing Arts with a BFA in Music Theater and has studied voice, piano, percussion, guitar, dance, composition, arrangement, choreography, and acting at the Hochstein/Eastman School of Music, The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Carnegie-Mellon and Penn State Universities and with Daniel Marek of the NY Metropolitan Opera. Most recently, Genecco has studied with jazz and recording artists Wesla Whitfield and Mike Greensill in San Francisco. How's that for well-rounded?
Not only has Genneco played major venues around the Bay Area, including the Plush Room and the ODC Theater, she's also appeared at Jazz@Lincoln Center in New York and filled high-profile NYC nightspots like the Iridium Jazz Club, the Encore and the Metropolitan Room.
Don't miss Terese Genecco's rollicking blast of a show at Pearl's, as she brings the fabulous Frances Faye to life, jazz style.
