| | Eddie Izzard Circle Soundtrack CD - Import
British comic Eddie Izzard is many things, not the least of which is wickedly funny. The fact that he dresses in drag has always been a bit of an anomaly in regard to his comedic material in that it has so little to do with his act. Mostly, it serves as a kind of comedic "shock and awe" strategy to force his audiences to lighten up. Which is why the CD version of Circle is both an effective and inadequate document of his live show. On one hand, it allows you to fully focus on his dry wit, deep historical references, and train-of-thought jokes without the distraction of a slightly barrel-chested man in pumps. On the other hand, a slightly barrel-chested man in pumps is quite funny. That said, anyone familiar with Izzard's irreverent, intelligent brand of absurdist humor will find Circle highly enjoyable. Included on this performance from June 26, 2000, in New York City are Izzard's brilliant riffs on how the Pope is akin to Batman; how guns don't kill people, people kill people, and so will monkeys if they have guns; and how Jesus might have been a prophet to the dinosaurs. Much in the tradition of Monty Python, many Americans won't "get it," but that fact only heightens the pleasure for those who do. ~ Matt Collar

73 minutes of playing time, from a show that originally ran for some 15 to 20 minutes, means that this album must be a recording of a contemporary production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's biblical musical. In fact, it is from the highly successful 1991 London Palladium revival which starred Australian actor and ...

Circle Soundtrack songs
$10.25
During a long friendship, Zoot Sims and Al Cohn worked together on many occasions, and this 1965 broadcast from New York City's Half Note is one of many examples of how well they complemented one another's playing. Pianist Roger Kellaway, bassist Bill Crow and drummer Mel Lewis make up their potent rhythm section. The only well known piece is "The Red Door" (jointly written by Sims and Gerry Mulligan), the remaining songs are fairly obscure, with "Doodle Oodle" being a variation of "Sweet Georgia Brown," while "Saratoga Hunch" was written during this period by Dave Frishberg specifically for Sims and Cohn. Unfortunately, this CD is plagued with unexpected volume surges and fades in several tracks, especially in the middle of Roger Kellaway's solo in "Doodle Oodle." The music is worth hearing, but beware of the sound problems. ~ Ken Dryden
Zoot Sims and Al Cohn made many marvelous recordings together over several decades, but this Mexican CD of what is purported to be a 1965 air check from New York City's Half Note is hardly equal to the many commercial releases featuring the two tenor saxophonists. Not only is this release skimpy on packaging with no liner notes or composer credits, the sound is aggravating, as the volume frequently (and unexpectedly) goes up and down in the middle of a song. Both Sims and Cohn are in top ...

Circle Soundtrack songs
$15.65
This set is Hofstetter's debut release. Included is the CD of his show and a bonus DVD of his performance at the M-Bar in Hollywood. This title carries a parental advisory.
With his short-cropped red hair, intellectual-looking glasses, penchant for 25-cent words, and "thinking man's comic" tag, it might be stretching things a bit to call Columbia University grad Steve Hofstetter a punk rock comedian. Then again, the original punk movement was always about flipping off the establishment. And in the simple act of naming his debut CD Cure for the Cable Guy, then choosing a cover photo that depicts a doll dressed like Larry the Cable Guy being hanged in effigy, Hofstetter effectively rebels against the mainstream by positioning himself as the antithesis of the world's most popular comedian. What could be more punk rock than that? Of course, 60 minutes of attacking the "Git-R-Done!" crowd would grow tiresome at best, and Hofstetter is no dummy. Though he works in the expected jabs at the supposedly blue-collar ...
