For the fourth year running, Tony nominee Norm Lewis will return to Feinstein’s/54 Below for his holiday residency—but this time he brings tunes from his newly released The Norm Lewis Christmas Album.
“I’ve always had a fantasy desire to do a Christmas album,� says Lewis. “Christmas has always been my favorite time of year and I wanted something to mark that.�
Before beginning his week of concerts at the famed Midtown cabaret venues (December 17â€�22), Lewis visited the °ëµºÌåÓý studios to sing an unconventional Christmas melody: “My Favorite Thingsâ€� from The Sound of Music.
“For me, I knew it from Sound of Music but what really stuck in my mind mostly was one of the first albums I could remember was The Supremes and they had that song on there, it was their Christmas album,� he says. “That’s one reason I put it in my show, it’s giving homage to that album.�
Watch the video above to hear the baritone belt out a jazzy version of the standard—and chat with °ëµºÌåÓý about his album, Christmastime, and more.
