Australian cabaret artist Kim Smith returns to Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre with “Morphium,” a dark and whimsical evocation of the decadence and decay of 1930’s Europe. Singing in German, French, and English, Kim Smith reinterprets works by Weimar-era composers, and modern-day artists alike, from Mischa Spoliansky and the Supremes, to Kurt Weill and Kylie Minogue, as he charts a ruinous path through the arrivals and departures of a neo-Weimar, musical misfit. Jerry Steichen accompanies on the piano, Christian Coulson directs.

 After 37 years, Jack Kleinsinger is calling it quits. May 13, 2010, will be the last Highlights show, making this an even 300 Highlights in Jazz concerts presented by Jack Kleinsinger. His decision is not an artistic one, he would like to continue to produce Highlights, but a financial one. Jack says “if someone can come up with the financing necessary to produce the annual series, I’ll continue, but with cuts in arts funding and private sponsorships for jazz down, it’s not likely.” Jack Kleinsinger presents Highlights In Jazz, New York's Longest Running Jazz Concert Series in the 37th season, the final year.

John Denver, the late singer/songwriter, was victimized by Bernie Madoff, as was one of Denver's great admirerers, cabaret singer Cynthia Crane. Her identification gave her a reason to build a large part of her recent show on "Leavin on a Jet Plane" and other well-known works of this pop composer.
