GERSHWIN! Prudence Johnson & Dan Chouinard with violinist Randy Sabien
No other composer captured the spirit and energy of 20th-century America better
than George Gershwin. In his tragically short lifetime, he gave us masterpieces like
Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, Porgy and Bess and beloved songs—
“Summertime,” “Lady Be Good,” “Someone to Watch Over Me”--that have become part of the fabric of our culture. Gershwin’s music is in good hands with pianist Dan Chouinard, violinist Randy Sabien and vocalist Prudence Johnson, who bring gentle virtuosity and playful invention to the stage. Toes can’t help tapping when Randy
starts swinging, hearts melt when Prudence wraps her velvet voice around a
Gershwin love song, and Dan’s version of Rhapsody in Blue is an absolute show
stopper!“(Johnson’s) lush, precise, expressive voice, with its pearls of vibrato, is best
unadorned. A smart, sensitive pianist – like Chouinard, an in-demand
accompanist – is all she needs.” Pamela Espeland, MinnPost
