Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Very enjoyable
Recently I saw Pacific Overture on stage. This recording is wonderful. The show is not as well known as other by Sondheim and yet it has wonderful songs. The recording captures the wonder of the music and story.

The former album was Faith's summer 1967 LP release, and it was followed by the latter in the winter of 1968. Faith took the same approach with both, recording his versions of hits with his orchestra ...

Anyone Can Whistle, which opened on Broadway on April 4, 1964, and closed after only nine performances on April 11, remained, despite its failure, a memorable show in American musical theater history because of its songwriter, Stephen Sondheim, who went on to write some of the most important shows of the 1970s and '80s, and because of its score, which was preserved on this cast album. Columbia Records was only contracted to record the show if it played at least 21 performances, but company ...

CD $10.89  Audio Samples
Carmen Jones is lyricist/librettist Oscar Hammerstein II's restyling of Georges Bizet's opera Carmen. Where Bizet and his lyric collaborators Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy took novelist Prosper Mérimée's setting among Spanish gypsies working at a cigarette factory in Seville for their 1875 French opera, Hammerstein put it in a parachute factory in South Carolina in the present day and wrote it for an all-black cast. But the story of love, betrayal, and death remained the same, as did the music, minus a couple of arias and in slightly re-orchestrated form, courtesy of Robert Russell Bennett. Casting was a challenge for two reasons: first, the vocal demands of the score meant that, as with the opera, two casts had to be employed to alternate performances for the eight-times-a-week schedule, and second, in the still racially restricted time, it was hard to find African-Americans with enough voice training. Luther Saxon, who played one of the Joes (aka Don José) and does so on this recording, was working in a naval yard when he was cast; Glenn Bryant, who became Husky Miller (Escamillo), was a New York police officer on leave. But when they all turned ...

Swing, blues and latin grooves.Eric Shifrin & The In CrowdTravelin' LightThe old lady split, left you alone with the cat, a fifth of Makers Mark, and the sound of raindrops cascading off the porch. Need some company? Try the wistful piano twinklings of Eric Shifrin. "I'm travelin' light" Shifrin growls on the opening title track that Chet Baker made famous, "cause my baby's gone." Melancholy and solitude set the mood for this disc of jazz standards, which Shifrin tempers with hope, fond memories and a smoky, nonchalance. Shifrin confidently leads ...
