REVIEW
'Jay Armstrong Johnson's cabaret show at Feinstein's/54 Below [was] a sprawling musical potpourri that involved well over a dozen musicians, backup vocalists and guests. Mr. Johnson's engaging performance was a getting-to-know-you event... It's a giant leap from Rascal Flatts's 'Banjo' to Stephen Sondheim s 'Johanna' from 'Sweeney Todd,' in which Mr. Johnson unfurled the full power of his voice in one of the most persuasive renditions of that song I can recall. Leading into 'Johanna' was an impassioned rendition of Jeff Buckley's ballad 'Everybody Here Wants You,' a hyper-romantic plea to a woman with 'a singing smile, coffee smell and lilac skin.' Equally impressive was his perfectly pitched duet with Amanda Williams Ware on the Alanis Morissette s hit 'Thank U.' The more passion he poured into such ballads, the better he sounded; he has the gift.' --Stephen Holden, The New York Times
