FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Darrian Ford singing his brand new album, NEW STANDARDS. NEW STANDARDS gives a nod to the golden age of jazz and standards and moreover, it is his personal statement. NEW STANDRDS promises to bring the audience on a journey of Ford’s evolution – both personal and artistic. NEW STANDARDS will run the gamut from original vocal jazz compositions to contemporary tunes reimagined in the jazz idiom. The stories are deeply personal, from fatherlessness to breaking through unworthiness.
He will be joined by Broadway Icon, Andrea McArdle. Audiences, no doubt, remember her from her appearances in ANNIE (the original), LES MIS, JERRY’S GIRLS, STARLIGHT EXPRESS, and the list goes on. She and Darrian became fast friends in the Original Broadway company of STATE FAIR. Also joining him will be the sublime Valisia Lakae, the Tony nominated actress for her performance as Dianna Ross in MOTOWN, The Musical. Both of these fantastic ladies will sing duets with Darrian, from his album.
