Album Notes

With her first CD, Barbara Porteus brings her extensive nightclub and musical theater expertise to more than a dozen song standards. From Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hammerstein to Kurt Weill to Joni Mitchell, Barbara is the quintessential performer who gives you precisely what you came for: swinging up-tunes and emotional, heartfelt ballads, all arranged by celebrated jazz and Broadway musical director Barry Levitt. Soon to make her debut at NY's premiere cabaret venue, Feinstein's at the Loews Regency, Barbara's impressive resume includes performing with Marie Osmond, Donald O'Connor, Phyllis Diller and opening for Petula Clark, Sid Caesar and many others. www.barbaraporteus.com.
