“She’s sophisticated, she’s straightforward and she can swing!” - Marian McPartland
A sparkling mainstay of Manhattan nightlife, singer/pianist Daryl Sherman is internationally acclaimed for a stellar 14-year run at the Waldorf-Astoria where she played Cole Porter's Steinway. Sherman's many recordings are in regular national rotation on Cable TV's Music Choice and Sirius/XM Radio. She was just presented the 2010 MAC Award "Best Major Recording" for her Johnny Mercer Centennial CD - a track of which was used in a Mercer documentary produced by Clint Eastwood. A frequent guest on Marian McPartland's NPR Piano Jazz, Sherman's recent all - Mercer show can be accessed on their website and she was also included on BBC Radio's Johnny Mercer Tribute. Her (Arbors) tribute to Richard Rodgers, A Hundred Million Miracles received four stars in Downbeat, and Guess Who's In Town cited The New Yorker '10 Best of 2006'
Equally at home in the world of jazz and cabaret, Sherman has performed at The Algonquin's Oak Room being touted "someone who fits the room like Derek Jeter fits the Yankees" (Village Voice) also at Feinstein's, Rose Hall with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Dizzy's Coca Cola and 59E59 Theaters with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks in The Park Avenue Whirl. When Artie Shaw formed a new band after his retirement, Sherman was his singer of choice, calling her "a first rate singer -musician." From her arrival in New York, with stints at Sinatra hang-outs like Jilly's, Jimmy Weston's or Eddie Condon's, there's hardly a jazz joint, supper club or hotel Daryl has missed.
