  1. Musical Interlude: I love this old Kurt Weill tune, no matter how odd the arrangement. Lotte Lenya's Latin-tinged version is lovely, and this modernist arrangement is also quite nice.

    "Speak Low," performed by Ute Lemper.

  6. CLASSICAL or JAZZᵃᵈʲᵃᶜᵉⁿᵗ musicians/vocalists† —
    What has been your most successful resource for hiring a pianist / accompanist for long distance collaboration?
    No, there is no-one local. Yes, I've looked. For years. It's all country and emo-punk around here, or the actually trained musicians are working as teachers and have no free time.

    My first thought is to go with Fiverr, but I wondered if anyone knew of anything "better." (Or anyone specific on Fiverr?) I know there are sortof musician-exclusive Fiverr-type websites, but I'm not sure about the userbase size and general trustworthiness vs "we hyped this up but it's pretty cobwebby"…

    † yes, vocalists are musicians, too — I'm just covering all my bases

    PS - Not looking for "live" recording, just someone I can give sheet music w/ some directions to and have them record me a track.

  11. Musical Interlude: Riding the DC Metro for the first time in, like, forever, was quite nostalgic. I used to take it every day to work, when I was a gov't contractor who worked a few blocks from the White House. Glad I don't work there anymore, to be honest.

    But the experience of riding in the train amidst all the bustling commuters, brought this Sondheim tune to mind...

    "City of Strangers," performed by Pamela Myers

  12. #ShowTunes #Solo #solos #TenorSolo #singing One Hand, One Heart, from West Side Story, by @Tenor2JT youtube.com/live/cMWRSbqJPRw?s God, I ask you, "Make of our hearts, one heart, make, of our lives, one life"!

  13. Musical Interlude: Here's a fun little bit of spring joy....this was composed as part of a musical revue, with wry commentary on the garish scenery that the singer was standing in front of!

    "Something To Do with Spring," performed by Noel Coward.

  14. We had a lot of fun on Friday night! Here’s a photo of James and Tasha at the start of the night.

    We’re taking reservations for 11 and 25 August. We would love to see you then - and we would also love it if you could spread the word.
