Beckie Menzie
Heart and Soul, Real Emotional Girl

"Heart and Soul was the first song I ever learned to play on piano, but it wasn't until years later that I even knew of the incredible Hoagy Carmichael lyrics or was able to understand what they really meant."

And lyrics are the focus of Beckie's album. Each song tells its own story . . . each song is her heart and soul.

"Heart & Soul" is distributed nationally by Original Cast Records.

Claudia Hommel
The Jazz Fauré Project: au bord de l'eau

French Impressionism meets American Jazz and Claudia Hommel, Sean Harris, Dennis Luxion and Bobby Schiff are giving seventeen 19th century hit-tunes of Gabriel Fauré the velvet treatment—from swing to bossa, from wistful ballad to snappy joie de vivre.

All lyrics and translations included.

Neil Tesser writes: "In this ambitious and fascinating project, Fauré's melodies now fit comfortably in a 21st-century cabaret or jazz club. "Spleen" (a.k.a. "Melancholy") becomes a bluesy torch song, just waiting for Diana Krall or Madeleine Peyroux. And when you hear some more familiar tunes wending their way through the program - "Les feuilles mortes" (better known as "Autumn Leaves") or "La mer" (which Bobby Darin made famous as "Beyond the Sea") - rest assured that these standards belong here as well."

Claudia Hommel

Paris in the Jazz Age

Bob Moreen sings at the keyboard, Patrick Holland shares the ivories and cabaret singer Claudia Hommel is sometimes on top of the piano, as we follow the love affair between American jazz performers and the jazz-crazy public of Paris.

Storm in with James Reese Europe's 369th Infantry Hellfighter's Jazz Band, strut the cakewalk, shake the shimmy with Bricktop, dance the Charleston with Josephine Baker, swoon with Mistinguett and Maurice Chevalier, croon with Cole Porter, sing the blues with Duke Ellington, go avant-garde with Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, and Kurt Weill, and swing with the French "zazous". It's the "crazy years" between World Wars in jazz hot Paris.

Taste a menu of classical moments, French jazz hot and the spirit of Claudia's unique recording of Paris/Paree.

I Got Yule Babe

David Friedman says "It's fantastic. Not only a hilarious writer, but the performances and arrangements are first rate, right on the money, artful and impressive."

What it is, is maybe the funniest Christmas music ever - an eclectic collection with parodies and originals in a wide variety of styles from polka to punk, big band to blues, country to klezmer, and maybe even some other alliterative pairs, all for your holiday comedy enjoyment.

The critics raved, calling it 'The "must-have" holiday CD of the year' (Patrick Fineran, Racine Journal Times) and saying it ranks with Allan Sherman and Weird Al Yankovic's best.

The tracks include parodies of Bobby Darin, Sonny & Cher, The Violent Femmes, Barenaked Ladies, Green Day, and frankly, some things that kinda defy description.
