PERFORMER BIO:
Ann Hampton Callaway is one of the leading champions of the great American Songbook, having made her mark as a singer, pianist, composer, lyricist, arranger, actress, educator, TV host and producer. Voted recently by BroadwayWorld as βPerformer of the Yearβ Ann is a born entertainer. Her unique singing style blends jazz and traditional pop, making her a mainstay in concert halls, theaters and jazz clubs as well as in the recording studio, on television, and in film. She is best known for Tony-nominated performance in the hit Broadway musical Swing! and for writing and singing the theme song to the hit TV series The Nanny. Callaway is a Platinum Award winning writer whose songs are featured on seven of Barbra Streisandβs recent CDβs. The only composer to have collaborated with Cole Porter, she has also written songs with Carole King, Rolf Lovland and Barbara Carroll to name a few.
Callawayβs live performances showcase her warmth, spontaneous wit and passionate delivery of standards, jazz classics and originals. She is one of Americaβs most gifted improvisers, taking words and phrases from her audiences and creating songs on the spot, whether alone at a piano or with a symphony orchestra. Ann has been a special guest performer with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood and is featured at many of the Carnegie Hall tributes. She has sung with more than thirty of the worldβs top orchestras and big bands, and has performed for President Clinton in Washington, D.C. and at President Gorbachevβs Youth Peace Summit in Moscow. Callaway performed with her sister, Broadway star Liz Callaway, in their award-winning show Sibling Revelry at Londonβs Donmar Warehouse. Their act βBoom!,β a critically acclaimed celebration of the baby boomer hits of the 60βs and 70βs, was recorded on PS Classics which debuted in the top 25 on Billboard Jazz. Ann was featured in the Macyβs Day Thanksgiving Parade telecast watched by 6 million people singing Emmy Award winning song βYes, Virginia.β She took the symphony world by storm with her latest show βThe Streisand Songbookβ which she premiered with The Boston Pops and continues to tour with top orchestras across the country. Said Randall Fleischer after conducting the show with The San Francisco Symphony, βAnnβs tribute to Streisand is a glorious evening of great songs, brilliantly orchestrated and sung magnificently.β After performing the show at 54 Below, she garnered two BroadwayWorld Awards and the 2013 MAC Award for Show of the Year.
Annβs latest recordings have both met great critical acclaim β The Sarah Vaughan Project: Live at Dizzyβs in 2014 and The Hope of Christmas in 2015. She is featured on her sister Liz Callawayβs holiday EP Merry and Bright as well as Arborβs Records CD Johnny Mandel: the Man and His Music. Her recent solo CDβs At Last, Blues in the Night, Slowand Signature have received rave reviews as well. She has recorded two popular holiday CDβs β Holiday Pops! With Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, and her solo CD, This Christmas. Annβs other recordings include Easy Living, To Ella with Love, After Ours, Bring Back Romance, Ann Hampton Callaway, and the award-winning live recording Sibling Revelry. Callaway has also been a guest performer on more than forty CDβs including Kenny Barronβs latest CD The Traveler.
Annβs dream of working in film, TV and radio has been realized in several recent projects. She made her feature film debut opposite Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon in the Robert De Niro film βTHE GOOD SHEPHERDβ, performing the standard βCome Rain or Come Shineβ. She recorded βIsnβt It Romantic?β and βThe Nearness of Youβ in Wayne Wongβs βLAST HOLIDAYβ, starring Queen Latifah. Ann wrote songs for the upcoming movie musical βSTATE OF AFFAIRSβ, to be directed by Philip McKinley. And, as a part of her mission to keep the American Songbook thriving, she has produced and hosted two TV specials Called βSingerβs Spotlight With Ann Hampton Callawayβ with guests Liza Minnelli and Christine Ebersole for WTTW National which dovetailed into her critically acclaimed radio series βThis is Cabaretβ which debuted in 2016.
Ann devotes much of her time to philanthropic causes, both as a singer performing in numerous benefits, and as a songwriter composing songs in times of need. In September 2005, Ann performed her original composition βLet the Saints Come Marchingβ, written to honor Hurricane Katrina victims, on a national TV broadcast on the Fox News Channel. Her song βWho Can See the Blue the Same Again?β was released earlier in 2005 as a single, paying tribute to the tsunami survivors and raising much needed money for The Tsunami Fund of The PRASAD Project. In the aftermath of September 11th, Ann composed the stirring anthem, βI Believe in Americaβ, which she performed on Larry King Live and released as a CD single. Just days after the tragedy, Ann heard an 8,000 year old prayer from the Rig Veda and composed the world renowned βLet Us Be Unitedβ. Ann recorded the song with Kenny Werner, The Siddha Yoga International Choir and five-year-old Sonali Beaven, who sang in honor of her father who lost his life on Flight 93. It was released on CD and DVD and its proceeds continue to benefit Save the Children and The PRASAD Project.
Her new CD, Jazz Goes To The Movies, was released on Shanachie Entertainment and debuted at #12 on the Billboard Jazz Chart.
Annβs father was Chicagoβs legendary TV and radio journalist, John Callaway. Her mother, Shirley Callaway, was a superb singer, pianist and one of New Yorkβs most in-demand vocal coaches.
Ann lives by the creed best expressed in the Andre Gide quote: βArt is the collaboration between God and the artist and the less the artist does, the better.β
John Proulx
The jazz scene is abuzz about singer, pianist, composer, and recording artist, John Proulx (pronounced βProoβ). His piano playing is hot and swinging, and his voice recalls the smooth, mellow sounds of a young Chet Baker. In addition to touring with his own trio, John has performed with the likes of Anita OβDay, Natalie Cole, Melissa Manchester, and Marian McPartland.
