How Love Begins won Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 66th GRAMMY® Awards

Center Stage’s production of this album gives the listener a real sense of the show without the help of the musical’s book and this always gets high marks from this rainbow writer,

In all, Maestro is the fast-paced chronicle of a giant living a giant life, as told through a love (or love-ish) story

They have created a score in 2023 that marries to its 1971 progenitor wonderfully and made this rainbow boy tear up a bit and really want to go see WONKA

As for this BEGIN THE BEGUINE, Natalie Douglas uses what has come before and adds her own brand of polish.

We loved WALKING WITH BUBBLES the show and now we truly enjoy this OCR. It is one to return to again and again.

Will FOOL’S HOPE do it for him? We feel sure people will dance to it and that should be enough.

A little over halfway through, Bobby’s ears felt a bit overtaxed on the ballad/power ballad front and wished there were one or maybe even two more up-tempo songs

Cole Porter’s music matched with his incomparable lyrics was unmatched in his day, but finds a perfect match with Isabelle Georges

DON’T SAVE IT ALL FOR CHRISTMAS isn’t on the horizon, dear Bobby readers, it’s here already and poised to be put on your playlist for your holiday party

SWINGIN’ LITTLE CHRISTMAS, should get a bit of an airing out and that gifted improvisers like Jane and Kate should spit out some of the over-chewed gum that has lost its flavor.

Taking on the 1967 Stevie Wonder hit WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME, who else could our queen sing with but the R&B king himself

Finally, you may ask, “Bobby, is SANTA'S FAVORITE PLACE TO GO worth the download?” and our answer would be, “You bet.”

Quite frankly, dear Bobby Fans, if you can’t make hay to this album then you’ve reached the last straw.

Little Bobby was completely captivated by this film of WAITRESS: THE MUSICAL, a show that really does, as its press release says, “... celebrate the power of friendship'

With all of this, her beauty, her glamor, her dresses, her stellar performing, just all the reasons to watch Hannah Waddingham, it is even more important to HEAR Hannah Waddingham.

And so it was dear Bobby readers that we checked a glorious box on our cabaret must-haves list by seeing the great Karen Akers

FIRST CHRISTMAS is new music and don't we all need some new Christmas music, my angels?  How many times can we listen to the same holiday songs over and over?

We truly got a lot of feels from Lisa Dawn Miller’s MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR, and ‘tis the season for many to want lovely ballads sung in beautiful ways.
