Then, on Friday, March 14, Feinstein’s welcomes Kevin Cole in “Have Fingers-Will Travel: My Unbelievable Songbook Journey.” This is a Don Farrell Presents production.

Marvin Hamlisch and Irving Berlin’s favorite pianist was Kevin Cole. He knew both well and has great stories to tell. And his piano playing? Well, the press says, “He’d have Vladimir Horowitz smiling with envy.” You’ll hear personal stories and music from the seven songwriters who changed his life: Gershwin, Kern, Berlin, Arlen, Harburg, Martin, and Hamlisch.

Farrell will join Cole to premiere one of the last songs E.Y. Harburg wrote with Cole intended for Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. This show includes songs from the pens of George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg, Hugh Martin, and Marvin Hamlisch.
