Jesse Harris (Bill Phelps)Just Don’t Call them Sidemen
Jesse Harris is best known for being Norah Jones's favorite songwriter, having written the smash hit song "Don’t Know Why," along with several other cuts on her Grammy-winning album “Come Away With Me.” It's perhaps less known that he’s also a talented recording artist himself, having cut his teeth at the Downtown club, the Living Room. That’s also where you can sometimes find singer-songwriter Richard Julian, who, not coincidentally, has also worked with Ms. Jones and whose alternately funny and disturbing songs are quintessentially New York. Both artists join us today for a live performance. Also on the show: Budd Mishkin. Not only is he the smooth-voiced sports anchor for the cable news channel NY1, but he’s also an interpreter of Russian folk songs, particularly those of revered Soviet-era songwriter Bulat Okudzhava. He’s performing tonight at Makor and we’re treated to a preview live in the studio.
