The second album by New York-based cabaret singer Rebecca Spencer hews close to the traditions of the style: grand piano runs and a graceful cello are the main accompaniment as Spencer genteelly riffles through the Great American Songbook for chestnuts like "Deep Purple" and "Stardust" (presented as a medley), along with Broadway faves like Marvin Hamlisch's "The Girl Who Used to Be Me" and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "You Must Love Me." Not a hair is out of place, either in Philip Fortenberry's staid piano or Spencer's too-practiced, emotion-free vocals. It's all exceedingly polite, with no sense of jazz's easy swing even on an acknowledged classic of the form like George Gershwin's "Summertime," which Spencer simply massacres by virtue of ostentatious semi-operatic oversinging. That's by far the worst of the lot, but there's little to recommend Fair Warning, except perhaps as a sleep aid. ~ Stewart Mason
Personnel: Rebecca Spencer (vocals); Moonlight Tran (cello); Philip Fortenberry (piano).

Fair Warning CD music
 $13.35  
Veteran Broadway actress Jessica Molaskey's third CD for PS Classics is a mix of favorites from musicals and standards from the Great American Songbook, though many of these compositions have not been recorded much at all for quite some time. Backed by a band that includes husband John Pizzarelli on guitar along with her guitarist father-in-law Bucky Pizzarelli, trombonist John Mosca, tenor saxophonist Harry Allen, and a number of superb New York-based musicians, Molaskey's acting skills come across even though the listener can't see her perform these timeless tunes. She sounds young and flirty in "I Cain't Say No" (from Oklahoma!) in a superb orchestration by John Clayton, while restoring the often omitted verse. She soars in the stunning strings and piano arrangement ...

For several years, young bands mostly were content to create a lot of sound and fury, but in 2007, groups such as Camera-Head Shark, The Shake and The New Rivalsnames focused on verses, choruses, lyrics and hooks - the classic fundamentals of rock. (Fittingly, the best songwriting of the year came from a gray-bearded classic rocker, Tom Griffith. ) Rounding out the top 10 local albums of 2007 (most of which were self-released) are ONE EXCELLENT RAPPER, a weird metal-rock band and a young emo act with ideas to spare. Here's the list: #6. Kaleber, "The Anomaly" - This Wyandanch rapper firmly believes two things: Hip-hop is dead, and he was born to resurrect it. On tracks such as "Dope (New York, New York)" and the cliched "Hoodstripes Pt. 2," Kaleber exposes bling and drug-slinging for the worn-out cliches they are - all without missing a beat. more in /news/columnists Copyright (c) 2007, Newsday Inc. newsday /entertainment/music/ny-p2guz5469835nov22,0,161130. columnNewsday Kaleber as a hip-hop savior on 'The Anomaly'Rafer GuzmánWITH THE BANDNovember 22, 2007No rapper ever succeeded by being modest, as Chad Mohammed, aka Kaleber, clearly ...
