*Nicolas King* NINETEEN ~~~ On the week before his 19th birthday, Nicolas King releases brand new album, coincidentally titled, "Nineteen". The album is a landmark recording of the new kid on the block, (King) and the iconic jazz phenom, Mike Renzi. The album starts off with a swinging bang from the get-go, and guides you through original Renzi arrangements of familiar classics (Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Bye Bye Blackbird), obscure gems (A Room With A View, Where Is Love), tender ballads (Blame It On My Youth, The Summer Knows), as well as tributes to Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr. and the brilliant Mel Torme (Pick Yourself Up). With liner notes and accolades by accomplished showbiz legends (Director- Hal Prince, Funny Lady - Carol Burnett, Broadway Actress - Andrea McArdle and more), this albums features that ultimate showbiz "Pizazz" marked with sophisticated (older and more mature) vocals, and the classiest musicianship you'll find on any record. Backed by Jay Leonhart, Buddy Williams, Dave Zinno & John Anter, this album doesn't hold any punches. Under the magnificent music direction of Mike Renzi, "Nineteen" is a sure fire hit. Renzi has arranged and played for such legends as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, Maureen McGovern, Eartha Kitt, Sylvia Simms, Regis Philbin, Lainie Kazan and many more. Formerly the musical director of "Sesame Street" as well as having 7 Emmy Awards to his name, Renzi is the best of the best, and certainly the cream of the crop. King has been performing since age 4, and having appeared in 3 Broadway productions before his 13th birthday ("Beauty & The Beast", "Hollywood Arms", "A Thousand Clowns", he has appeared on TV in over a dozen national commercials in US and Japan, "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, "The View", "The Today Show", "Sally Jesse Raphael" and the "Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon for 8 years in a row. Aside from touring with Liza Minnelli, King has also performed at the famous "Metropolitan Room" in NYC under the musical direction of Mike Renzi, and the annual Mabel Mercer Foundation's "Cabaret Covention", which prompted Stephen Holden of the New York Times to dub him a "precociously polished crooner..." "Nineteen" is sure to be a favorite, and not an album to be missed! www.facebook.com/nicolasking www.twitter.com/@nicolasking
