Biography
With his elegant, swinging and sophisticated style, Lee
Glantz has been entertaining audiences in New York and
all over the world for nearly twenty-five years. Lee is
one of the premier singer-pianists on today's musical
scene committed to keeping alive the songs of
one of the richest eras in music history, known as the "The
Great American Songbook".
Born in the Bronx, raised in Queens, this native New Yorker's
childhood home was filled with Broadway show music including
the songs of The Gershwins, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart
and Irving Berlin just to name a few. Though in his teenage
years Lee played in many rock 'n roll bands, it was his
love and affinity for the extraordinary music of his childhood
that ultimately became his passion.
After graduating from Queens College with a BA in theater,
Lee moved to Manhattan and, in his late twenties, returned
to his music and began to develop an audience playing in
some of the most prestigious hotels, piano bars, restaurants
and private event venues New York has to offer. He spent
several winter seasons in Palm Beach where he performed
at the renowned Leopard Lounge at The Chesterfield Hotel.
Also in Palm Beach, Lee was the house pianist and vocalist
for the inaugural season of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club.
In
Nantucket,
Lee performed at The Chanticleer
in Sconset as well as at other venues.
Lee performed his show "The Life
and Music of Cole Porter" in New York, Toronto, Paris
and The Hamptons on Long Island. In addition, he toured
in France with his show "A Musical Journey Across
America" singing songs such as "Stars Fell
on Alabama", " I
Left My Heart In San Francisco" and "Moonlight
in Vermont" to take his audience on a musical tour
around the United States.
Lee is currently performing at New York's Renaissance
Hotel in Times Square. In addition, Lee continues to bring
his considerable musical talents to many private events,
solo or ensemble, in such venues as The St. Regis Hotel
and at The Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center.
In 2005, Lee released his first CD "Love at First
Glantz", a collection of romantic standards as well
as an original song he wrote titled "I'm On My Way".
His album is available for purchase at cdbaby.com/cd/leeglantz.
