Album Notes

Born and raised near 125th street in New York City, Ms. Maggart is the first daughter of Broadway veterans Brandon Maggart and Diane McAfee, and the sister of singer/songwriter Fiona Apple.

Ms. Maggart created a stir in the Los Angeles cabaret community in March 2001 with her debut show in Hollywood at the Gardenia, where Les Traub of Cabaret Scenes declared her "destined to become a major cabaret star." Gardenia owner Tom Rolla subsequently invited Maggart to perform an open-ended weekly run, just as her mentor, Andrea Marcovicci, had done before her.

Fostered by Marcovicci and Michael Feinstein, Ms. Maggart was introduced to cabaret society, appearing as guest artist with Feinstein and Marcovicci at various cabaret venues around the United States; notably Feinstein's at the Regency in Manhattan, the Plush Room in San Francisco, and the Oak Room in Manhattan.

On her own, Maude made her New York City debut at The Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel. She has since held extended engagements at the Plush Room in San Francisco, The Gardenia in Hollywood, Schroeder's Cabaret in San Diego, The Royal Room in Palm Beach and Danny's Skylight Room in Manhattan. In all locations she garnered all-around top critical acclaim and also feature stories in The San Francisco Chronicle, Time Out New York, and the Boca Raton News for her tribute to the women of the nineteen-twenties: "Shaking the Blues Away: a 1920's Cabaret"and her current show "It's The Talk Of The Town: a 1933 Songbook."

Maude has performed at Manhattan's Town Hall in the annual Mabel Mercer Foundation's Cabaret Convention for the past four consecutive years, and in May 2004 she co-starred in the critically acclaimed "Easy To Love: The Love Songs Of Cole Porter", directed by Andrea Marcovicci for The 92nd Street Y.

Better than any medicine - Silver Lining is gold in my ears
author: George H. E. Koehler
                            
This is a voice to make you sit up and take notice - Maude Maggart's vibrato adds an unusual poignancy to the lyrics, and the transparent arrangements present her voice to good effect, a lovely example of “less is more”. Very affecting interpretations, definitely a unique listening experience. What a pleasant surprise to encounter these recordings at CD Baby! I feel richly rewarded. Next, I'd like to hear her take on songs by Kurt Weill... How about it, Maude? - I also recommend reading Michael Tierra’s worthwhile review, he’s captured very well in words, what Maude Taggart does to you – he has it in a nutshell. If anyone reads this - don’t hesitate: Order this CD! Order! Order!

A superior artist in a field rife with many good voices.  Miss Maggart should have a long career.  I will be purchasing more of her performances.

a hauntingly beautiful voice!
author: Michael Tierra
                            
I awoke on my 69th birthday with Look for the Silver Lining running through my mind. I came to the computer to look the lyrics and then a performance and out of the ethereal realms I happened to discover Maude Maggart's recording. Her voice is other worldly -- especially in this repertoire of bygone years -- she captures just the right balance of tasteful nostalgia. Its not the way one would expect to hear these songs sung in their own time but rather a winsome looking back to an age when songs were written with beautiful melody and catchy and in this case, poignant lyrics to be expressed and sung -- not overly complex and overly produced as in contemporary pop music. If you have an appreciation for a voice that is a strangely beautiful mix of the two Judy's, Judy Garland and Judy Collins with the most unique warbling vibrato that seems to awaken warm feelings of nostalgia you should not miss the experience of listening to  Maude Maggart. highly recommended very special and unusual.
