At a very young age, Suzanne Vega moved to New York, the city that came to play an important role in her life. In an intimate setting, she therefore recorded a live album in 2019 that focuses on the different facets of her beloved city. The singer-songwriter is assisted by guitarist Gerry Leonard, bassist Jeff Allen and keyboardist Jamie Edwards. Together they bring acoustic, more jazzy versions of
… Vega's songs, next to a cover of Walk On The Wild Side. The focus of her setlist is on her album (2007) as it also relies heavily on New York. The singer knits the set list together with anecdotes and puts both humor and feeling into her performance. The concert was recorded at the Café Carlyle, a jazz and cabaret club in Manhattan.
