Sometimes dubbed a cabaret ‘maven’, Susan Winter’s Minor Miracles is a loving valentine to the song writers who produced popular songs without losing their rich ancestry. The show explores the development of popular music that sprang from ‘minor’ key traditions of Eastern European Jews, works composed by sons of cantors such as George Gershwin, Harold Arlen and Kurt Weill. She continues her musical journey with gems from Jewish emigres in Hollywood culminating to the next generation who transformed that ‘minor’ motif into rock ‘n’ roll, easy listening and rhythm and blues as well as those who produced some of Broadway’s most famous songs. Susan is joined by the versatile Don Edwards who leads her three-piece combo.
