Ron Manfield with the Bob Cary Orchestra
Featuring original movie soundtrack
Crooner Ron Manfield brings bold sound to Lula Lounge July 22
The song that has inspired a motion picture is at the heart of a new movement in music, on view July 22 at Lula Lounge. Fresh from his tour-de-force performance at the Lounge in spring, crooner Ron Manfield’s summer concert will feature the ballad “All for Julie” and an 18-piece pit band with a unique sound, under legendary trumpeter and band leader Bob Cary.
“It’s new…it’s not a big band orchestra,” says Manfield. “It’s an 18-piece pit band with a big brassy sound, under leader Bob Cary. We think it’s going to pioneer and popularize a new, rich sound.”
Multi-talented singer-songwriter Manfield and company delighted a packed house at Lula Lounge in May with standards like “My Way” and “As Time Goes By.” The lineup is returning for the July 22 concert .
Original movie soundtrack
The highlight of the July 22 concert will be Manfield original composition “All for Julie,” (see clip) a love ballad that forms the basis of the story behind a dramatic feature film in development for which Manfield is producer and writing the score. “It’s a moving love-story drama that has echoes of the tragic opera Aida,” he comments. The screenplay, based upon Manfield's original idea, was written by multiple-award winning TV producer and documentary maker Richard M. Landau. The pair are now shopping the screenplay to production houses.
Through his company MPC Music, Ron Manfield has involved himself in a range of community projects and charitable organizations.
The Lula Lounge, originally constructed in the 50's as a movie theater, has the perfect ambiance for a cabaret-style production, with table seating that places the audience close to the performers.
“I chose Lula Lounge because it has acoustics that are ideally suited to my type of intimate performance,” adds Manfield, who will be performing a similar concert at Chicago's elite Union League Club, in September 2015. A musician’s musician, his performances appeal to mature, sensitive listeners who appreciate well crafted and intricately arranged pieces.
One of the music scene’s best-kept secrets, Manfield, who lives in the Greater Toronto Area, is also a record producer who has worked with such local luminaries as Norm Amadio and Bobby Edwards who was Kenny Rogers’s Studio Staff Guitarist in LA.
