Andy Kahn

I was there in the Starlight Room at Resorts in Atlantic City. Piano music came over the speakers and then Andy Kahn appeared, walking through the crowded showroom and up onto the stage, taking his place at the grand piano waiting patiently there for him. He began playing the piano and then proceeded to wow his audience with 102 minutes of non-stop entertainment. Starting off with standards written by Irving Berlin, Andy then presented the musical works of composers Jerome Kern, George Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, Harry Warren, Johnny Mercer and Sammy Cahn. Throughout his performance, he injected entertaining anecdotes about the composers' lives and fascinating stories regarding the songs themselves. I loved it and so did the audience. We insisted he stay onstage after he'd already played 90 minutes of great jazz piano and singing all those terrific songs in an original style that fit them perfectly. Andy Kahn clearly loves performing these treasures. And this audience ate it up from beginning to end, saluting the artist with a unanimous standing ovation when he wrapped up his concert. He told us he could have gone on an on all night - and most of us there wouldn't have given up our seats, had he done so. It was truly a wonderful night of music, presented by an affable and charming performer. I hope Resorts brings Andy Kahn back soon to perform his series of concerts devoted to the composers of that magical era known as "The Great American Songbook." What a night!

We've seen Andy Kahn perform his show many times over the years. It keeps getting better and better each time. His professionalism and artistry come together beautifully. Not once during his more than 90 minute show did we ever feel tired of his performance. His piano playing technique is simply fabulous. The songs he sang brought back so many memories for us. These are the BEST songs ever written! And the stories Andy tells about each composer, along with how certain songs got written are just amazing. His ability to capture his audience and hold their attention throughout his show is just outstanding! We can't wait until he comes back to Resorts again so we can catch another one of Andy Kahn's concerts. Each one is unique, focusing on different composers of American standards. We never feel like we're seeing the same show twice! Four Thumbs UP to Resorts for presenting Andy Kahn in their Starlight Room!!!

This Andy Kahn concert was terrific! He is an awesome talent with a wealth of musical knowledge. The show was both great entertainment and very informative. It was great to hear so many familiar tunes and realize I knew a lot of the lyrics. It leaves you wanting to hear more - more songs and more composers and more stories about them. He should do more shows, since every one of them can be different. Kudos to Resorts for putting all this together - Andy Kahn as the great performer, with some of the greatest music, in a great venue.
