SUMMARY:Betty Buckley and Kenny Werner
DESCRIPTION: Broadway legend Betty Buckley will be making her Yoshi's 
	debut beginning Jan. 8--10 with her long time collaborator legendary j
	azz great\, Kenny Werner. Their most recent CD\, "QUINTESSENCE"\, rele
	ased this past spring is a stunning tribute to Buckley's almost ninete
	en year working relationship with Werner. This album is the pair's nin
	th album together and is a perfect bookend to the recently released "B
	etty Buckley 1967"\, released October\, 2007 \, also by Playbill Recor
	ds/Sony BMG.  Werner & Buckley will be supported for their Yoshi's eng
	agement by two renowned San Francisco musicians\, Peter Barshay on bas
	s and Alan Hall on drums.   "Quintessence"\, reflects the seasoned fin
	esse and musical virtuosity of the two collaborators and their long ti
	me quintet —a performance that travels the artistic landscape of one
	 of the most distinguished and celebrated performers of today with her
	 incredible arranger\, pianist and musical director\, the world renown
	ed Werner.   At Yoshi's fans of Betty Buckley and Kenny Werner can exp
	ect a beautiful musical welcome to the new year and an early valentine
	 of story songs about life\, love and change. The show will be constru
	cted from selections of their vast repertoire and the latest CD and po
	tentially include a smoky\, jazz-infused version of the famous Sergio 
	Mendes and Bergman's collaboration\, So Many Stars and an achingly "hu
	shed" version of Get Here\, the hit song made famous by Oleta Adams. I
	n between is a magical mix of music that takes the dramatic range and 
	thea trics of Buckley's voice and infuses it with the jazz influence o
	f the masterful Werner and the skillful trio of musicians..  Buckley a
	nd Werner are also featured on a special podcast series discussing Qui
	ntessence and their creative process which is available on masterworks
	broadway.com\, playbill.com\, iTunes and other podcast forums.   Buckl
	ey and Werner's unique interpretations of jazz and standards\, eclecti
	c songs from the great American Songbook and by contemporary singer/so
	ngwriters\, Brazilian songs and musical theatre milestones are a diver
	se collection of tunes culled from the best of their critically acclai
	med concerts and cabaret shows around the world at venues as from Carn
	egie Hall to NYC's famed Blue Note Jazz Club and the elegant Feinstein
	's cabaret at the Regency Hotel in NYC.  Their recent recording like t
	heir evening in concert offers truly original renditions of songs perf
	ormed with a fresh approach\, a chemistry and alchemy coming from year
	s spent together performing across the nation and around the world. "I
	 have such appreciation for the work that has come from the almost two
	 decades I've spent working with Kenny. He has been by my side for som
	e of the most treasured moments of my career\, and for that I am truly
	 grateful\," said Buckley.  Buckley describes their musical choices as
	 "paintings with sound." In fact\, she used paintings to illustrate wh
	at she envisioned for each song as she and Werner discussed the "feel"
	 for each of the unique arrangements.     The year 2008 was a landmark
	 one for Buckley.  She recently co-starred with Mark Wahlberg. Zooey D
	eschanel and John Leguizamo and received rave reviews for her work as 
	Mrs. Jones in the recently released film from director M. Night Shyama
	lan entitled "The Happening". >> The "Quintessence" CD and "Betty Buck
	ley 1967" were both released by Playbill Records/Sony BMG. "1967" feat
	ures a nineteen year old Buckley in her first ever studio recording en
	gineered by then nineteen year old and now multi-Grammy award winning 
	producer\, T Bone Burnett . The resulting eleven tracks expose the you
	ng abandon and whimsical charisma of a girl who will one day become on
	e of the Great White Way's greatest talents. More on Betty Buckley: Th
	rough her dazzling and acclaimed work in such musicals as Cats\, 1776\
	, Carrie\, Song & Dance\, The Mystery of Edwin Drood\, Pippin\, and Tr
	iumph of Love\, Tony Award winner Betty Buckley is one of a small hand
	ful of performers synonymous with Broadway. And\, with her recent succ
	esses as Norma Desmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard and a
	s Mama Rose in Gypsy\, Buckley remains the quintessential leading lady
	 of the American musical theatre.  She has received a Tony award\,  a 
	second Tony nomination\, an Olivier nomination and two Grammy nominati
	ons. She was recently inducted into the Texas Film Hall of Fame for he
	r body of work in film and television and has received two Honorary do
	ctorates for her contribution to the Musical Theatre. For anyone who h
	as ever heard Buckley sing\, it is evident she possesses one of the fi
	nest\, and perhaps the most unique\, instruments in the musical theatr
	e: a voice of supple steel\, capable of piercing the soul with either 
	its razor-edged belt or ethereal upper register. She has been called "
	The voice of Broadway!"by New York Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter
	 has declared her voice "...one of the wonders of the world."
