The Colors of My Life: A Cy Coleman Songbook is the new album from ten-time Grammy Award-winning vocalist Janis Siegel and internationally recognized pianist, arranger, and composer Yaron Gershovsky. This intensely personal and fresh musical homage explores Coleman’s more well known repertoire as well as his hidden gems. The album delves deeply into the composer’s jazz sensibilities and his wonderful lyric partners.
Janis Siegel is certainly no stranger to music fans, as one of the four powerhouse vocalists of the iconic Manhattan Transfer. Partnering with The Manhattan Transfer’s longtime pianist and music director, Yaron Gershovsky, she has created a tender and virtuosic tribute to the late composer and pianist Cy Coleman, a five-time Tony Award winner, three-time Emmy Award winner, two-time Grammy Award winner, and Academy Award nominee. Janis’s vocals and Yaron’s arrangements and musicianship play off each other comfortably and with a keen familiarity that only decades of collaboration can accomplish. Both Siegel and Gershovsky had musical and personal experience with Coleman: Yaron was the vocal arranger for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical City of Angels and Janis was part of the vocal ensemble in Cy’s last collaboration with Alan and Marilyn Bergman for The Kennedy Center.
“Diving into the magnificent and colorful world of Cy Coleman’s music alongside Yaron Gershovsky has been a profoundly enriching experience,” explain Siegel. “We are thrilled to present our unique perspective on his work and can’t wait to share our interpretations with music enthusiasts, both through our recording and live performances.”
Gershovsky adds: “Cy Coleman and I met while I was writing the vocal arrangements for City of Angels. What an inspiring and amazing experience that was. My love and appreciation of his music led me to The Colors of My Life, where Janis and I highlight Coleman’s genius as we unveil our interpretation of his music through our own personal musical lens. It’s a tribute and a celebration of Coleman and his enormous contribution to the American Songbook.”
