PICK YOURSELF UP by Mel Torme (DCC Jazz, 1998)Life is a series of ups and downs - a continuous challenge to renew and reinvent yourself. You can be rolling along, on top of the world, then the next day become lost in a fog of turmoil. I have experienced this several times in my life, most bitterly in recent years. But, I am not alone in this - I believe it is a universally shared phenomenon - and, in this song Mel Torme offers, if not an antidote to disaster, a prescription for practical optimism.Pick Yourself Up was originally written in 1936, by Dorothy Fields and Jerome Kern, to be performed by the inimitable Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the movie Swing Time. In the number Fred, breezily attempting to seduce dance teacher Ginger, begs for her instruction. This charade of awkwardness, of course, quickly develops into the most delicious demonstration of tandem terpsichore ever filmed. Mel's equally breezy, live, vocal gymnastics, abetted by wizard bassist Jay Leonhart, transforms the song, imbuing it with a deeper meaning. In their hands it becomes a brisk, bracing splash of cold water in the face, saying “Buck up, Boyo - You're not defeated! Try, try again!

NYC Vocalist Lizzie Thomas has made a name for herself as a swinging, sultry jazz singer with a beautiful stage presence. Her phrasing is effortless and naturally swings. She captivates her audience by going straight to the heart of the lyric. An entrepreneur at heart, Lizzie released (June '21) a Jazz Lifestyle brand called the Jazz Diva Collection. Creating candles, loungewear and bags that honor the tradition of Jazz: the music, the cool vibes, and women of Jazz.  Her latest release, New Sounds From the Jazz Age, recorded in a “live” setting, is a uniquely beautiful and provocative new sound on the songbook classics we know and love. The album celebrates Ms. Thomas' ability to vocalize on racing tempos, effortlessly pivot between styles and key changes, and dig deep into the rich complexities of Ellington, Porter, and Gershwin.  It features Russell Malone on guitar, John Colianni on piano, Jay Leonhart on bass, Felix Peikli on clarinet and Bernard Linnette on drums.  Ms Thomas came to jazz when she realized that it is a purely American art form: It's steeped in tradition and allows for endless innovation. “I can call a tune for the rest of my life, and I will never sing it the same way. That's freedom,” she says, “that's provocative - that's jazz.” “Lizzie Thomas has a clear but world-wise voice and struts with boldness.” Jazz Weekly https://www.lizziethejazzsinger.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/lizziethejazzsinger/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/LizzieTheJazzSinger/

We celebrate his rich legacy with a few of those who worked with him and knew him best. Nicolas King was among the guests to appear. An immensely talented musician, Renzi was influenced in his early years as a pianist by Bill Evans. After living and working in and around Providence, he graduated from the Boston Conservatory of Music in 1973 and Berklee College Of Music the following year. During these years of study he worked with local bands and as accompanist to visiting artists. Among these was Sylvia Sims and it was as a direct result of this engagement that he was hired to work with Mel Tormé. In 1976 he moved to New York City and from the late 70s onwards through the next two decades and into the early years of the twenty-first century, he appeared on scores of albums, sometimes only as pianist but most often also as arranger. Renzi also plays keyboards and occasionally guitar. Developing his own, hard bop style, Renzi also became a much sought after arranger. As a brief listing of the numerous artists with whom he has worked will show, many of them are singers with whom he established a special rapport, and in some cases has acted as musical director: Ruth Brown, Laverne Butler, Ann Hampton Callaway, Diahann Carroll, Freddy Cole, Cynthia Crane, Meredith D'Ambrosio, Blossom Dearie, Scott Hamilton, Lena Horne, Etta Jones, Jack Jones, Eartha Kitt, Steve LaSpina, Cleo Laine, Peggy Lee, Jay Leonhart, Gloria Lynne, Maureen McGovern, Liza Minnelli, Gerry Mulligan, Mark Murphy, Houston Person, John Pizzarelli, Annie Ross, George Shearing, an eight-week tour with Frank Sinatra, Carol Sloane, Grady Tate.

Fred Rogers never went to 'Nam - that's just one of the many insights we learn from interviewing the charming and talented Keri Johnsrud about her collaboration with pianist Kevin Bales based on songs written by the man we like to call "Cole Porter in a cardigan." After the interview, the boys discuss three other albums with at least a tangential relationship to children's music because, hey, that's a theme, people. Kevin Bales & Keri Johnsrud - BEYOND THE NEIGHBORHOOD; Jamie Cullum - TWENTYSOMETHING; Meredith d'Ambrosio - SLEEP WARM; Donna Leonhart - BEIN' GREEN.
