Inspired
by the title of Billy Strayhorn's most memorable song - D'Agostino
opens the show with the heart worn ballad and weaves an intricate and
entertaining tapestry through Lacy's masterful arrangements. For the
viewer - the great surprise is the heightened "in the moment" style
banter between vocalist and musician - and a healthy dose of
D'Agostino's own self-deprecating humor and comic delivery. Friends on
and off stage, D'Agostino and Lacy have built an organic but structured
piece of "Cabaret Theatre" showcasing not only D'Agostino's masterful
vocalizations - but his quick demand of the stage. Lacy, a highly
sought after musical director - creates a lush landscape in which the
listener nods carefully along, note by note, from medley to medley with
magical transition. Part history lesson, part Torch Song 101 - the
music spans from the Early Harlem Renaissance to modern-day blue eyed
soul (with a little Madonna to boot!). More...
