Night Songs

Barry Manilow

A radical departure into minimalism. Just a voice, a piano, and a bass performing jazz standards with hushed, late-night intimacy and zero theatrical bombast.

It's Barry Manilow at 3am with just a piano and a glass of scotch.

A quiet, dignified solitude that finds beauty in being alone.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The startlingly close-mic'd vocal on I Fall in Love Too Easily where you can hear every breath.
The way the upright bass provides the only rhythmic pulse on Alone Together, creating a sense of deep space.
The vulnerability in his voice during the final sustained note of I Walk a Little Faster.
