The Ritz in London, the Crillon in Paris and the Imperial Hotel Tokyo, in addition to festivals in Hong Kong, Perth and Spoleto - these are but highlights of Steve's appearances on six continents. On the airwaves Steve has been the performer/host for radio series for both the BBC and National Public Radio. In 1992 he was voted outstanding singer-instrumentalist by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets. Also in that year Steve made his Off-Broadway debut in his own tribute to Fred Astaire, and he continues to tour the world for solo concerts, master classes, theatrical engagements and symphonic Pops appearances. Reviews of Steve Ross: + Philip Elwood in
Chronicle Jazz:"No one performing today is his equal. They just don't make 'em like this anymore." +
Backstage:"With the loss of Bobby Short, Steve Ross is the last apotheosis of the quintessential Manhattan piano man. He's a throwback to something timeless, although future generations -- having moved on -- may not see it in that regard and will never know what they've missed." +
Variety:"Suave and savvy... (a) staple of Manhattan's cabaret scene for more than four decades. (He) exudes great charm, sings with an appealing light baritone and plays piano with a flowery grace and assurance.Ross balances an expansive body of songs from the 1920s and '30s that reach forward into the more contemporary terrain of Jim Croce, Maury Yeston and Stephen Sondheim." + Cabaret Scenes:"Watching Steve Ross is seeing a master rule his craft." + The Village Voice:'When Steve sings, New York is New York again."
