"The
night's biggest crowd-pleaser was the Billy Preston-Syreeta Wright ballad, "With You I'm Born Again." Vanessa brought out her co-star from her 1994 Broadway production of
"Kiss of the Spider Woman," Darius
de Haas, to sing the Preston part, and de Haas gave it new
life."

Darius de Haas & Steven Blier
This heartfelt song collection is a purely American phenomenon--supremely gifted musicians that can't be categorized or quantified: Stevie Wonder meets Leonard Bernstein; Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and the Gershwins rubbing shoulders across the years with Richard Rodgers, Adam Guettel, and Harold Arlen; songs from the Great American Songbook, musicals, Hollywood films, and opera.
And all performed with exquisite style, poetry and nuance by vocalist Darius de Haas, and pianist Steven Blier. Blier, one of today's leading advocates for American song, describes working with Darius de Haas as like “backing up a moody tenor sax...hypnotizing me with his voice.” It's the hypnotic intensity of these recordings that implore us to turn to one another, asking for Quiet Please, as we enter a world of soaring melody and extraordinary emotional depth.
