Product Description
Excerpted from the album liner notes by Wilfrid Sheed.
Towards the end of this exhilarating album, Chris Gillespie breaks into Bart Howard s classic, Fly Me to the Moon, and one realizes with a shock that we ve already been there. Because, ... Gillespie has taken us on the whole love-trip, to the moon and back, as artfully as it can be done.
Under Bobby (Short), the Carlyle became the big leagues of cabaret, the equivalent of playing the Palace and vaudeville. And under Gillespie it still is. ... he plays and sings in a contemplative style that makes the American standards sound like newfound treasure and a passport to paradise. ... and incidentally the best evening of cabaret that I have ever spent entirely at home.
Wilfrid Sheed, noted author of The House That George Built (the golden age of the American Songbook), literary critic and novelist, won a 1987 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes on Frank Sinatra''s The Voice . Chris Gillespie is accompanied by Vito Leszcak on drums; Keith Loftis(toured with Ray Charles)on Sax; and Frank Tate (who was Bobby Short''s Bass player for 10 years) on Bass.
