CD89845 Judy Kaye (three cabaret performances)
Here are three different cabaret performances by the wonderful Judy Kaye. I'd
posted the first two of these in the past, but here are new links for those two,
as well as a third that I'd never posted here. A couple of songs appear in more
than one of these recordings, and one song (Cole Porter's "Tale of the Oyster")
is in all three.
The first was recorded at the long-closed New York club Reno Sweeney on May 10,
1980. This seems to have been recorded through the sound system. This is a
surprisingly pop-oriented program, but a particular highlight is a beautiful
performance of "A Simple Song" from Bernstein's MASS. This is thoroughly
tracked. Uploaded at 192.
Program:
Come Sail Away; Green Finch and Linnet Bird; Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet;
Skylark; I Hear Bells; Tango Palace; Remember?; Stringman; A Simple Song; I Like
It Early in the Morning; Niagara; Riders to the Stars; Tale of the Oyster; You
and I medley
This second download was recorded at another long-closed New York club,
Freddy's, in January 1984. This is also thoroughly tracked and also seems to
have been recorded through the sound system. This is more oriented toward
theatre music, with a bit of pop. Uploaded at 128.
Program:
A Loud and Funny Song (missing beginning); It Goes Like It Goes; Skylark; I Hear
Bells; Another Hundred People; Never, What Does He Want Of Me?; Nina; Don't Play
That Love Song Anymore; Ragtime Lullaby; Being Alive; A Quiet Thing; The Tale of
the Oyster; I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love
This last one was recorded at New York's 92nd Street Y on Jan. 8, 1994. This is
an audience recording. The sound isn't wonderful, but with headphones generally
quite listenable, though a bit of the patter is tough to hear. This is a
particularly wide-ranging program, as you can see from the song list below.
This is not tracked. Uploaded at 192.
