Cirque du Soleil: From J to Z - A Fantasia

Read "From J to Z - A Fantasia" reviewed by Geno Thackara

by Geno Thackara

Frank Lamphere: Frank Songs, My Way: Frank Lamphere Sings Sinatra

Read "Frank Songs, My Way: Frank Lamphere Sings Sinatra" reviewed by David Bondelevitch

by David Bondelevitch

"Now that's original... How'd he ever come up with that one?" These words open the press material for Frank Songs, My Way: Frank Lamphere Sings Sinatra, and it is a solid question, with so many albums of Frank Sinatra covers. It would be tough to top Tony Bennett's Perfectly Frank (Columbia Records, 1992).

Make Him an Offer He Can't Refuse: Tony Bennett and Mafia Films

Read "Make Him an Offer He Can't Refuse: Tony Bennett and Mafia Films" reviewed by Peter Wogan

by Peter Wogan

Tony Bennett's song “I Wanna Be Around" (1962) pulls the listener in interesting directions. It contains Ralph Sharon's playful piano notes, the cheerful C major key, and Tony Bennett's silky smooth voice--yet the lyrics are all about vengeance and deriving joy from another person's suffering. As Bennett sings, “And that's when I'll discover that revenge is ...

Read "Interruptions On A Christmas Eve" reviewed by Arthur R George

by Arthur R George

The small restaurant and occasional music bistro was closed for Christmas Eve. Its owner Ernie DiVitale had darkened the room. There was light enough, from the Christmas tree in the corner and spilling in from a lamp over the prep area in the kitchen, to relax with his wife Veronica at a back table over cappuccini ...
